[robbybyos]

Hi Guys,

My name is Roberto and i'm from Romania.
I've recently bought a 2005 kymco xciting 500 and it have the consumption around 8-9% in city. (that means 27.6 MPG for you )

I think is little bit big this consumption, what do you think?
Do you recommend to check or change something?

Thank you!

Hi Roberto,  if you mean 8-9 litres,  than that is way too much.  My 250 consumes 3-3.5litres, but it was around 5-6, when I bought it.  The 500s consume more,  but according to fuelly it should 5-6 litres.  Check sticky brakes,  run a system cleaning additive and think about stripping and cleaning the carb, or if it is injected, get the throttle body and all the sensors, probably he injector too cleaned

The last time I checked I was getting about 20kl/l, roughly 200km per tank of 10, 5-11L when refilling.
