Oil consumption.

[Forbes1964]

Is it normal for a scooter to consume some oil between oil changes if ridden hard? I noticed that my Xciting 250ri seems to approach the add line shortly before needing an a oil change . I top it off before it reaches the add Mark. I change the oil when the reminder light comes on . ( about 1200 miles, I think). I usually end up adding oil at about 800 miles. The drive to work is approximately 50 miles ONE WAY. And it's ALL done at 60-65 mph. I'm thinking it's normal consumption for the type of driving.

I had a guy to ask me the top speed of my Xciting 250. I told him 80ish. He then told me that he was able to do the same speed on his 50cc Chinese scooter.(don't remember the brand). I looked at him really strange , and he said that he had de-restricted it and done other modifications. I didn't argue with him. I simply said "wow"! But I don't believe him AT ALL!

But I don't know too much about scooters other than the one I have. I wanted to say BULL s#%#. But I don't cuss. Is there anyone here who believes that you can wring 80 mph out of a 50 cc Chinese scooter?


He didn't seem to be too bright. So I suspect that his speedometer is in km/h. If so, then he would actually only be doing about 49 mph. AND I suspect even that is an optimistic speedometer.

I can believe 49 mph. BUT 50? I'd have to see that for myself.

Is he lying and or stupid? Or am I missing something? Lol.

Kymco recently significantly reduced the prices of their new products in the USA. They credit it to greater economies of scale since they now make products for other manufacturers.

I wish I was in position to buy a new product. I'd surely take advantage of this opportunity.
