First post here so take it easy on me!
I have a 2006 Xciting 250 that has quite a bit of either variator or belt noise while accelerating. It's the typical rattle you hear people mention from time to time.
The scooter only has 2500 miles on it so I can't figure out why it's so darn noisy. The original belt seemed a bit loose so I just replaced it with a new Bando belt. I think it's actually a bit worse now. I don't get it. The rollers are in good shape and facing the correct direction and I've taken everything apart and cleaned it a couple of times. The contra spring in the clutch appears to be fine too.
I recently got this bike to replace a Chinese 150cc scooter. The Chinese scoot was very quiet and I'm a bit surprised by the Xciting. It's really ruining an otherwise fantastic bike.
I've noticed a couple of others posts on here with the same problem but no one has posted a solution. Would going to Dr. Pulley sliders help? Does anyone on here have a quiet Xciting 250 and if so what's your trick?
