Popped the headlight and housing right out of the quad doing some riding in the woods...not me, the wife and her brother. Guess they thought it was OK to drive into small trees [emoji89].
It was secured with 4 plastic brackets, 3 of them broke.
I'm having trouble finding a replacement part online.
Headlight still works. Any suggestions for securing it...bungee chords, gorilla tape? Jk

Check plug  for spark and the carb for  fuel.  Seafoam  won't clean  out a plugged  jet if that turns out to be the problem. You'd have to take the carb off and clean  it  thoroughly.  No spark is  harder  to  chase down. First  check the electrical  harness for any loose or corroded/ broken  connections.If  still no  go  you'll  need a service manual to  get the specs on the components , or if you  have access to compatible ones to swap  out one at time  to  find the faulty  one.

I could have written that better.  Basically the large OEM's use them because they don't suck!
The large OEM's use Kymco because they work. Meet the requirements given to them for production.
Honda would not use them, they are too picky. I have dealt with them when at my time with Bosch.

The large OEM"s do not use Kymco as a supplier because they suck.
A good friend had a 300cc Kymco scooter he drove to work and back for years. He never had any issue outside of maintenance. If I remember right the last time I talked with him he had over 25k miles on it.
 

Just picked up a used Kymco MXU 500 IRS. Found nothing but positive reviews and really enjoyed talking it for a test drive.

Just bought my first ATV and came across this site/forum.

Small issue though. I'm registered through Tapatalk but it doesn't recognize my email on the actual site. Recognizes my username though.

Can't reset my password and can't register. Contacted the admins but no response yet.

I have uploaded the file of the service manual for the kymco mxu 500 irs
 

Kymco isn't Chinese and I understand they make parts for many of the big name reputable brands.

although the Chinese machines are getting better i would stick with a good used reputable machine the quality of parts is much better and less prone to break downs

By the way, ik have the repair manual for the kymco mxu 500 irs digital. If someone wants it
Greeting from Belgium (again..)

Picked this up last weekend.
Can't wait to get it down to the land.

This is interesting and confusing. My neighbor said around 7 PSI. Now the side of the tire says do not inflate above 36 PSI and the manual said keep at low 30s.
Why would there be such a discrepancy?

I owned a Mongoose 250 for a few years and sold it in 2010, it is still in use today.
Most of the smaller bore Arctic Cats used Kymco engines. One I own is the 2010 366 with over 9,000 miles on it and still runs fine. This is very similar to the MXU and
some parts cross between the machines (such as the shocks and suspension system.
