Agility 50 / Re: Agility 50, 10" and 12" versions = Technical Specs - SORTED - CLOSED
« on: April 11, 2016, 01:28:08 PM »
Well, I take it all back.... the importers for Kymco in the UK were absolutely superb! Probably some of the best service I have ever had!

It seems that the 10" versions were a limited edition import especially for a company in Norfolk that wanted some for the shorter rider. Only 30 were actually imported into the UK. Just my luck that I happened to buy one. It will be sold on next year for the vertically challenged lol.

Agility 50 / Re: Headlight bulb: LED ok?
« on: April 10, 2016, 10:36:53 PM »
Bulbs are DC! No problem with using a LED one, just order the correct fitment! All bikes use DC!!!

The stator driven from the crankshaft generates AC, it then goes to the rectifier to convert to DC before powering lights...

Some CDI units are AC some DC, same principle, when fed by the Stator it is AC volts, the CDI will then rectify Part of it it to DC to use for ignition.

Agility 50 / Re: Charging battery every night normal?
« on: April 10, 2016, 10:32:29 PM »
No not normal! You need to check the battery voltage when stationary and when running. If the battery is less than 12v when not in use it is bad or not charged, it should be betting nearer 14v or more when running or it will not charge when in use.

If it is not getting a charge when running either the rectifier or stator need replacing. The rectifier is a DIY job, the stator might not be if you do not have a lot of mechanical experience. If you don't own a volt meter - take it to someone that can diagnose it for you.

Agility 50 / Re: Questions and problems after 50cc to 80cc upgrade
« on: April 10, 2016, 10:25:50 PM »
I would agree, no need to change the crank at all. I would run a #88 main jet to see if there are any gains to be had, it won't do any harm.

Agility 50 / Re: Kymco agility 50 Engine losing RPM
« on: April 10, 2016, 10:22:11 PM »
Well done for checking plug = its funny how we forget to check the obvious sometimes.

How is it running with the light weights - you are at the lightest recommended weight.. improvements/drawbacks? Thanks

Agility 50 / Agility 50, 10" and 12" versions = Technical Specifications - Any info?
« on: April 10, 2016, 10:18:35 PM »
Hi peeps, one for the educated here...

Have bought several Agility 50's recently, most have had 10" wheels such as the CK50QT-5-17 (2012 model)

Just bought another with 12" wheels, the CK50QT-5-00 (2011 model) Has wider front forks to accommodate wider tyre and much better over poor roads. Also much better for a tall rider and more stable into the bargain.

Both UK versions.

Slightly different engine codes however as the Kymco Global site is all but useless at the moment with all pages being unavailable - does anyone have any technical details between the two models.

I have contacted Kymco distributors in the UK but don't hold out much hope for info. Cheers  ???

Agility 50 / Re: Cutting out at idle
« on: April 10, 2016, 10:04:47 PM »
The rubber tube you refer to is unlikely to cause any problems whatsoever. All tubes are either breathers so open to the atmosphere anyway or vacuum hoses which sucks the fuel from the tank to the carb, if one was off you would get no fuel at all.

Just adjust the tick over screw, 1 minutes work. Take the cover off from under the seat and screw the throttle adjuster screw up half a turn or so while running (warm engine). The electric cold start should take care of cold starts.

You may have other issues of course requiring a full service but it will stop it stalling for you.

Agility 50 / Re: Found led headlights need conformation if it would work on agility 50
« on: April 10, 2016, 09:59:39 PM »
You need a BA20D for the Kymco Agility. Import from China for around £3 each, they are much better than the standard bulb as they do not blow over the terrible roads.

I use these and order several at a time:

LED bulbs do not blind oncoming traffic at all. It is the set up of the headlight that blinds others, if its pointed in the right direction it will never be too bright...!

Agility 50 / Re: Restricted or not? - used a50
« on: April 10, 2016, 09:52:07 PM »
43 mph is awesome! Sounds like something has been done, 30mph is the normal max for a restricted bike. If you do the mods you are talking about, (use a #88 main jet) it will go up hills much better! Sounds like the restricted boss has been replaced with a smooth one. Always change the clutch springs to 2000rpm ones for decent take off. Whether you change the air filter for a free flow type is up to you, differs from bike to bike, you can leave the standard box on but take the pipework off to try a free flow filter to see which works better for you.

Agility 50 / Re: Kymco Like 4 stroke question regarding variator sliders
« on: April 10, 2016, 09:45:57 PM »
Standard 6.5g are probably ok, 6g ones are slightly better, I have fitted them. It still makes 3g lighter as there are six rollers. Don't go lighter than 5.2 to 5.5 or it will get worse.

Agility 50 / Re: Unrestricted but still restricted?
« on: April 10, 2016, 09:41:53 PM »
44 mph is probably all you will achieve without a big bore kit to take it to 90 or 100cc. Variator weights won't make a lot of difference, try 5.5 to 6g. You will need a #88 main jet. Fit 2000 rpm clutch springs as well to get much better take off. Less than £5 for the set of 3. Is your air filter clean?

Agility 50 / Re: Headlight bulb seems to blow out too often
« on: April 10, 2016, 09:37:13 PM »
This is due to the poor suspension, small wheels and terrible roads. Replace with a LED bulb, much easier to get hold of now (although you will have to import from China) and will not blow when going over bumps. The sidelights are better with a standard 501 bulb as the bulb holders are not very good and the LED 501 replacements do not fit so well. If you want to fit LED 501 type sidelights as well, replace the holders, the rubber ones allow the terminals to short together.  8)
