Weird staling issue

[Houndguy]

It's a Kymco Xciting 500. I'll say about 09 or 09.

For the past two weeks I've not been on my bike.

I had the flu for a week and training at another site so the bike has sat, covered, at home. I have to move the bike to get some boxes into the storage space attached to my house. I get on the bike to move it...think what the hell....and it turns over. No issues. Now it was warmer than it has been (about 20C). It's started every attempt since.

Given that the bike was having issues in stop and go traffic I'm thinking that I may have had a issue with the fuel line? Or fuel pump? I plan on riding today to see if the bike gives me any issues (At least 120 KM).

My question is this....any other ideas on what the problem may be? I don't want to go pulling apart the bike unless I answer all the possible issues.

In another forum, someone also had the same problem as you on the Xciting, and it turned out to be the battery. Apparently the Xciting's ECM doesn't like low battery voltages. Just something to check.

I'm going to bump this post. Kind of bothers me when issues are just dropped with no follow through or follow up. Folks coming across an issue unresolved are left to speculate on the outcome and can imagine the most ridiculous or gruesome things.

It's been about 8 months. What happened? Was the cause determined? then fixed?

Welcome to the world of Chinese scooter forums. People do this all the time.They come with a problem, ask all kinds of information, get advice and disappear.

Classic case. Guy bought Rich Carmen's SYM, has a problem. Goes to Scooterdoc after finding out Rich was from there, finds solution and posts there with it but never returns here. It was a bad starter motor by the way.
