I love my new scooter! But.. I am only getting around 35-40mph.. which would be find for me but I don't want to get ran over. There is some issues that I think could be causing problems with speed. 1 When I got it the battery was dead.. if I kick start it, and let it run for a few minutes its good to go. And it starts well after that during the same day. 2 I was reading I should put in 92-95 octane gas in but insted I put in 85 octane because I didn't read the manual first. 3 I have read that there is a "break in" period until I reach 300km. 4 Maybe my MAJOR problem cause as of now I weigh 244lbs.. my normal weight was around 175 which I will get back down to since I am out and being active again. Does anyone know how I can get atleast 45-50mph without any major changes to my new scooter? btw I live in the US so I don't think its restricted or anything. I would be very greatfull for any helpful replys.
Thanks,
Derek :)

if you are geting 35 to 40 out of your scoot you are doing good most agilty 50 with the cdi cut and a bigger jet gets only that I weigh 160 and I get 40 to 45 out of mine on a good day with no wind holding me back. and I have done most of everything I can do to mine for now cdi cut rollers and a bigger jet.oooya drive boss.

There's nothing wrong with your scooter . If you need more speed you should seriously save yourself a lot of trouble , expense and disappointment and buy a larger scooter or motorcycle JMO . Good luck .

Ok.. thanks.. I did notch the CDI.. can't tell much but maybe I didn't go deep enough :)
-
need to becarefull and not go to deep you only need to go about 1/8 of a inch deep or less.but it sounds like you are all good. you only need to cut tell you see wire.

I think agility's that were made after 2010 dont have a restricted cdi.....
-
sorry I forgot to mention mine is a 2008 Agility.
-
On the CDI notch, I cut till I saw a very very small something that looked like only a single thread of copper... is that all it is?
-
...yup!..that's it!!..
;D

Ok. thanks for the info :) I am going to have to go to the store to get smokes very soon so I will let ya know how it rides.. Sadly not looking forward to the cold..lol Also do you think I need to check the boss to see if it has the washer on it or what ever? I have been watching videos on how to take all that stuff off. Still so much more to learn though :)
-
...its possible that the boss has been swapped, but if still oem, it will have that restriction..
-
Ok just went to the store.. about 4 miles. On flat ground it stays about 40mph and down hill slopes it got to a little more than 40. Its pretty cold out and very windy so I think that slows me down. If the boss wasn't changed out would I be getting 40? And up hills I am only getting 25-30 but I'm a heavy guy but I'm working on that :) Also it's not really that I want to go all that fast right now.. I just find all this disrestricting very interesting. I also want to learn to tune and repair myself so I can save not only money but gain the knowledge. And it the future I might even like to intall some proformance mods just for kicks :)

It dosn't sound as if you are restricted , and it probably will run better in warm weather . Make sure you have the tires fully inflated , I run 32psi in mine , that helps a lot . Good luck .

Thanks for this info :) I had wondered cause everything I read was like EU or something and not psi.

Is 300km when I am supposed to do the very first oil change? I read this somewhere but not sure it that sounds right.

If its been sitting around doing nothing for years then i would probably have changed the engine and gear oil for fresh stuff before i ran it, maybe thats just me being over cautious tho? :-\
The manual says that 42mph is the top speed of a derestricted agility 50, which is probably true for flats. If you then tune it up a bit you can usuallly get between 42-46mph on flats depending on weather, wind, your weight, tyre pressure, valve clearances, cvt set-up etc.
I have not spent much on mine ( under £100) and get 42-46mph on the speedo guage on flats (on a good day), just over 50mph downhill (on a good day) and average 30mph uphills. Unless you fit a larger cc kit uphills will always affect speeds, just take a run at it and blast up the hills. When i see a hill coming i always try speed up before it so the momentum helps carry me up. Fitting a stiffer torque spring in the rear pulley and using lighter rollers will help with hills too.

..i'm currently running a "1500" contra with my oem torque driver and a Stage6 adjustable clutch with a Naraku bell...
..5.1 rollers inna Naraku variator..
..just last evening i swapped in the heavier of the fly springs and adjusted to about half tension...
..need just a lil tighter, i think but i'm going to let them seat for a cpl days to see how it levels out..

Yeah i also use a 1500 contra, suits me better than a 1000 or stock, 1500 fly springs, race variator, 82 jet, 5.5g rollers, Malossi 737 long belt, stock exhaust, stock airbox, stock clutch (apart from the springs).
