Gina shares the current stable with Nelly (Tornado 900). Had a Vespa 150 Super when I was 18 and my dad courted on a Maicoletta. 2 wheels are in my blood as I'm also a Time Trialist and general headcase. Gold E46 ragtop and Fiat Coupe 16VT are my current/most recent brum-brums. 61 and won't grow up. Acquired the 2003 250SL on 6th June 2021 and so far have lifted the screen to height position 3 and replaced the OEM seized shockers with YSS jobbies with 2 chunky washers each side of the replacement units+original spacer on preload 2/5. Replaced the worn Avon Viper Stryke boots with Pirelli Angel Scooter. 25K miles used but not abused workhouse from Cov with yearly service for sub-a-grand so happy days. A few scuffs but nowt of consequence. 20mm thick Neoprene sponge bonded to glitzy, reflective Jintan top box with pillion back rest solid bumper lump. Just changed my n/s rear light bulb without removing the rack and top box. No mods to the rear panel hooks performed either and re-installed the 2 x 10mm bolts for rear light integrity so not to rely on the 2 x latch panel/cover screws.

I have a new throttle body, but didn't try that as when I swapped engines it didn't cure the fault so I was looking at all external items.
I still have the full set of original Evo graphite grey body panels if anyone is interested - to collect.
Also a complete engine, Evo front yoke and struts everything will be going on Ebay soon.

Semi interested at the minute... I'm supposed to be fixing a people carrier and getting a ticket on it next month. IF that goes to plan, it's only the other end of the county to drop in. We'll see how it pans out. |

Not sure unless they share with X9 500. The XEvo was a bit of a 'parts bin' design, it seemed to use bits from all previous models plus a few Chinese sourced parts, as if they were testing the water for buying in parts from the far east rather than all in house. Later models used a lot of Chinese parts.

The 400 was a good bike.
I personally have a Xevo 250 with nearly 85tkm on it and a Xevo 400 with 55 tkm - both still in great working order. Between the two I prefer the 250 - better fuel consumption , much lighter and more punchy. |
