Agility 50 / Re: Roller weight combinations
« on: August 23, 2009, 02:00:57 AM »
the kit i got only had 3 of each size. there are six slots in the variator, so it's like you are supposed to put two different sizes, alternating each size each compartment. i put the 5's and 6's in now and went for a ride, it feels much better. smoother overall, punchier on hills and on the flat. i will check the rollers after about 50 miles and see what their condition is, and post back here...

UPDATE: I am actually going to change to the 5 gram and 6 gram weights. I noticed with the 4's and 5's it takes a lot longer for the engine to rev down, it doesn't feel right at all... it is flying up hills now though!!!

I'm very happy to post my results to this! i was finally able to get to the variator after buying the right attachments to use a socket set with an impact drill. The stock kymco weights which seem to be 6 gram weights, had massive flat spots on them. i put a combination of 4 gram and 5 gram weights, and am able to go 10 miles per hour faster up my hill. i was only going between 10 and 25 mph, depending on if i had my girlfriend on with me or not, and am now going up to 30 mph up the hill.
Top speed has not been affected, i'm hitting up to 43-45 mph on flat ground without strong winds. I have noticed it takes a slightly longer time to reach top speed, pretty stoked on the overall results though. I've put around 6500 miles on the Agility 50, and this is the first time the weights have been changed. I reccomend others to at least take a look at your weights if you puts lots of miles on your scooter, it seems like they have the potential to get worn down fast...
Thanks for the input from everyone...

Agility 50 / Roller weight combinations
« on: August 16, 2009, 12:53:47 AM »
i just picked up a roller weight set, ranging from 3 grams to 8 grams, 3 of each size. I was told i could use different combinations of the weights, such as the 6's with the 5's, to get the 5.5 weight. Anyone on here done this, or have any advice for doing this?
thanks!
btw, the writing on the package is in Chinese, so i don't know what brand they are. all it says is "Dio" in a stamp on the package...

Thanks guys!!!
it seemed like it was almost too obvious to be true! The owner's manual didn't specify, and I friggin' scoured the damn web trying to be certain of this, and got 0 answers until now...

thanks again!

So from the picture it seems as if you add the oil in the spot where you pull out the dipstick?

Where exactly do you put in oil? I see how to check the oil, but can't seem to find out exactly how to ADD more oil.

Thanks in advance!!

look at the pictures in the link i put on there. the pictures are blurry, but you will see where to make the cut. Make sure you cut slowly. use  a fine hack saw blade. blow off the plastic residue often so you can see if you've hit the copper yet. you don't have to cut very deep at all. and don't cut past the first copper wire.

this works, i just did it.

I slowly and carefully made the incision in the same spot as in the pictures with a small hacksaw. the wire is very, very small. I am now able to get up to around 46 or 47 mph!!!

good luck!

Agility 50 / More power to go up a hill?!?
« on: March 24, 2009, 07:40:30 AM »
I bought an '09 Agility 50 brand new. i've put around 1500 miles on it and i like it. It consistently goes 40 mph on flat ground, but as soon as i try to go up any hill, even slight inclines, there is absolutely no power. I live at the top of a hill, and everyday it is so embarrassing going up the hill, as I get down to about 10 mph!
HERE'S MY STRAIGHT UP QUESTION: How can I get a little more power out of this scooter???
I've been doing some researching, and everyone seems to have different ideas about what to upgrade on the Agility 50's...
Should I do the variator bushing and racing CDI? New exhaust?
Plus, i don't know how to do any of this myself. I did not get the bag of extra parts with my scooter, i'm probably going to call the place I got it from and ask them about that...
Please, any input would be greatly appreciated.
