Hello, just purchased a 2009 500 Xciting with 5400 miles on it, appears to be like new. Hope to find out lots of info and tips here. I just wish it was about 100 lbs lighter, but I am going to start looking for things to eliminate. That ignition switch that opens the gas door and seat is a bit stubborn, hoping some WD40 works on that. Going to start figuring out how to get turn signals off, because they are full of dirt and bugs! I found a service manual today on Ebay for under $30.00! FYI, I am a retired guy in Oregon, have ridden motorcycles since 1965, have had 4 other scooters, 3 Hondas and an old Vespa.
