Xciting 500 / Where is the spark plug??
« on: November 26, 2015, 09:31:12 AM »
Can im struggling to change the spark plug as I cant find it.

Can anyone send me a link on instructions or a diagram on how to do it??

I live in in Spain and the spanish sites (in spanish) are not very useful.

Kymcos are not popular in the UK and there is no forum there.

Can anyone help as the manual is rubbish.

cheers in advance

Unfortunatetly I can do trickle charge due to the distance that bike is from the House.

I can however take the battery out in the evenings if i have to which is not ideal but better than nothing. 

I actually live in Spain which is extreme weather all year round.  We have just had a 3 month heat wave (really really hot), and in the winter because I live in land the temperature can drop to near zero centigrade in the winter.   On top of that we can get torrential Atlantic rain in the winter and have year round dampness and humidity.

Ironically I never ever had any issues with start ups in any other country I've lived in nor with any other scooter ive ever had.  I've had a Kymco before in spain without issue but Im having issues with the Xciting 500.

will try the oil change and new battery option when it gets cooler, as Im desperate for a solution.

Xciting 500 / Cold Winter Mornings - Bike wont start

My Xciting 500r struggles to start in the mornings in winter. 

Its parked outside and it can drop to almost freezing where I live.  There is also alot of humidity.

Can any one help?? would an oil change to an oil better suited to the cold help?  should i get a new battery and spark plug??

I need the scooter for work and had a nightmare last winter.

What can I do??  I cant put it indoors unfortunately.

cheers
