K&N air filter

[Dr. Scooter]

Well I have done some research on my bike and the website and I think I have found something that will work with our KYMCO XCITING 500 I am going to spend the money to purchase one for some R&D so you could say I will take as many pictures as possible and when I am sure it will work I will release a part number but until then I will just keep yall updated on my findings.

                                                                                       Thanks Guys,
                                                                                       Arkie

...sswweeeet...

..i love it when you big bore riders start modding your scoots....

 

..i picture a x500 screaming off th' line and topping out  @ 125+ mph...

Word I am alreadly launching real hard and I have had mine over the 100 mph mark reason I know the poker run I went on several of the guys tested me and Bertha out to try and poke fun. After the air filter mod I am looking into building an exhaust out of some parts I pull together. Then possibly a higher volume fuel pump and a carb off a 600 cc scoot.

...music to my ears arkie!!...

..you probably already know, but it's a delicate balance between carb tuning...getting the max air/fuel flow.....intake and exhaust....

..but the key to performance is cvt tuning...

..the right combo of roller wts, belt length, and clutch springs....


..wow...make it happen!!!

Whoaaahhh zhheaaahh, Arkie!   I will want to copy what you do if works well.    Others too I reckon.

I am doing a lot of plug chops  to keep air fuel mix right

wish that K&N would make filters for our x500, a guy in taiwan installed a simota cone type filter on his x500 and a yoshi Tmr-mjn 40mm carb!

i have a spare carb that came from a 1200 harley, thinking of doin some experiments! hahaha!

..woo-hooo!!!

[sissy mary]

Harley! If you put a Harley part on your X500 scoot, the scoot just might have a simpathy break down? (so the Harley won't feel so bad!

[Dr. Scooter]

LMAO Sissy I have a strange feeling that a 1200 cc carb will flood out the 500 cc engine a lot more then one off a 600 cc bike. The air filter should be here Tuesday, by Thursday night I should have it fully mounted and perfected to do some Carb tuning. I am looking into buying a muffler for a tuner car and seeing if I can get it to work as well but am worried that it will have to much free flow I am trying to find specs on the mufflers before I decide on one. As for now I am still  ding research so Ladies Gentlemen stick around and I will do what I can to help all with the limited and overpriced performance parts. Thank You Arkie_Rider

Ok got the K&N on last night did some late night test runs. Lets start by saying 0 to 100 mph HOLY %^%& it is awesome cruise at 90 mph no problem pulls slightly harder of the line. Once I am satified with my findings I will release pictures and a part number.

                                                                             Happy Scooting

come on, post them pics now! LOL

i am using a simota on mine but the gain on performance is not that noticable.

BTW the speedometer on our x500 really sucks! i was all excited when i was topping the meter but when we tested it side by side with na kawak er6. on his digital guage it was off.. then again the kwaks guage might be inaccurate! hahaha!

Lets start by saying 0 to 100 mph HOLY %^%&
