So you only have one non-asian bike in your garage now then ...........

Probably go for Mitas as I've used them countless times €115 for a back €100 Front

That would make his eyes water

Any idea what tires your going with ? The new Dunlop are excellent...

Why do you ask...lol.

Some scooter afficionados use a mixture of weights, 3 standard weights, and 3 lighter weights, results? Some say it works, I have never tried it because I am too tight to buy 2 sets of rollers .

Yeh...lighter weight, improved acceleration, slight loss of top speed, and a reduction in kpl (mpg) I sent a bit of a PM to you

Mmmmm that’s a shame as I’ve found some of the right size but 30.5g……….acceleration would be a bit better wouldn’t it?

Whoops! I looked again.....33.5g

According to Kymco the standard rollers weigh 30.5g.....for all round riding just stick with standard weight rollers

Helpful as ever

Did you put it up yourself?

Need your assistance Clive……..looking to get a new set of rollers and despite extensive internet searching it’s proving really difficult to get a definitive answer. I’ve been trying to bottom out what the standard rollers are in my Kymco Xciting 500 (2006) so I can get a replacement set. Any ideas where I might be able to get such information because I’m getting really hacked off with the various different answers? Ta.

Went out for my first proper ride on the Sprint today. I had been out before but only did 6 miles. Anyway turned out to be eventful. The bike started and ran well up to Damerells motorcycles which is 20 miles from me. No particular reason for going there just a destination and a chance to look at some shiny things. I was quite chuffed with the run up but the bike didn’t tick over when I pulled up to Dameralls. I tried turning the tickover knob clockwise but it just turned like it wasn’t attached to anything. Not ideal, it had worked before. I headed off after mooching around Dameralls and the bike started fine with a hint of choke. Apparently T300’s are quite cold blooded, it didn’t move far off the bottom of the temperature gauge unless I was in slow traffic. As I used the acceleration lane to join the A30 out of Dameralls I felt a hint of clutch slip. But rode normally up to and maybe a little more than the national speed limit without issue until I left the A30 10miles later. Then I noticed clutch slip again just a hint but it was there. A few miles on the bike cut out, I switched to reserve and it fired right up again. So two things the fuel tap appears to be working fine but the fuel light doesn’t. It will come on when you turn on the ignition but that appears to be the only time. I went a topped up and the bike took 15 litres. Leaving the fuel station clutch started to slip again worse than before in the lower gears now as well. The following 5 miles home it genuinely felt like touch and go if I would make it. So I can see a carb strip In my future and a new clutch. Not to worried about doing the clutch as I had planned to take the covers off to paint them at the next service. Think I have some research to do on the carbs but I have watched a couple of vids and it doesn’t look to onerous. I have cleaned and balanced carbs in the past. We shall see. Still really like the bike just got to get it reliable.

Will do, its a personal thing but after Christmas ill be upgrading the clutch getting crash bars , solid sump guard, acerbis hand guards, airbox upgrade and tyres and possibly a full aftermarket exhaust system

Would it have been better photo with a cat?

Dam dog !!

That's good to know...keep us updated when you can about the bike...
