Some kymco mod to feed more petrol when its cold ??
has anyone heard of kevs mod ?
its from the xtx 660 forums , (my second bike )
this guy kev made a relay type thing to fool the ecu-? into delivering more petrol (gas) to the injectors when the weather is cold
and keeps the idle up untill the engine is warmer

"small cylindrical things sits left side if battery in a rubber sleeve"  ..thats the starter relay

can you share your mechanics email ? or send it to me ? id really like to talk to him about getting that mod from him

Thanks for the advice Crossbolt ,i`ll open up the start switch today for a look

This isnt a gremlin , its a fault !
and kymco should have a fix for it

i have a feeling it has somthing to do with water condensation , bacause i cant start mine after a cold night iether ,it dosnet matter if its been raining or not
im in sydney australia and it dosnt get cold here like it does for the usa

Hi all
today after starting the scooter i let it sit and idle for a while , maybe about 10 minutes while i pottered around doing other things
when i got back to the scoot i gave a bit of a rev and started a pre ride saftey check (like checking the brake lights ,indicators ,headlight ,brakes actually working)
when i squeezed on the brake lever i heard a terrible sound then tried it again to make sure
i turned off the scoot with the key then turned the key back on , then squeezed the brake lever and the scoot started !  without pressing the start button
i tried this again and it didnt reoccur , this time no bad sound while braking
i took it for a short ride around the block , stopped halfway and restarted , it started with just the brake lever again (both levers do this)

obviously theres a short or a bad switch somwhere and given that it happens intermittantly im hoping that this is my gremlin
(if youv read any of my other recent posts youll see iv been having a hard time starting)

also i read a few posts about looking for a stronger starter motor , , did anyone find the part no. for that ?or will any starter motor that will suit kymco 500ri work ?

thankyou everyone

Hi b&l
my scoot is VERY picky about when it will start and there dosnt seem to be any method to its madness
one day ittl start then the next it wont , i cant find any elec shorts or bad grounds
also see http://www.kymcoforum.com/index.php?topic=11952.0  thread started by HOHO , but kind of hijacked by me
anyway , i bought the rectifier and ecu flash because i was starting to run out of ideas and had the money to spend

the unit thats on the bike looks like a normal bike cdi , its right next to the rectifier ,its just this new part dosnt look anything like the original

where does the ecu fit onto the scoot ?
iv just been scouring through the service manual and cant find any mention of it

My new helmet is really good looking but man is it Noisy !

i got it for a great price on ebay - $114.00 Aud delivered

but the damn thing folds my ears and is super noisy , as in wind noise .

if your looking for a nice quite helmet id suggest keeping clear of the " RXT Sprint "
