Agility 125 / Re: Tire Pressure: How Low Is Too Low?

I've always got a lot of stuff with me and a 35l topcase so I keep the rear
at 2,1, just a bit OVER recommendation for 1up riding, but I've been keeping
the front a bit lower at 1,6 to 1,7 bar, since I've had some front tire grip
issues with the OEM (crap) tires.

I wouldn't underinflate the rear since it has a rather dramatic effect on acceleration
and top speed, and I'd imagine the fuel consumption too.


Wait, what?
You notice all that "dramatic effects" due to the 0,1 increments in the rear tire pressure, but the temperature, air moisture, air/gasoline mixture, wind, weight fluctuation, and (transmission) oil viscosity plays no significance whatsover? Wow.

Haaave you met Paranoid Parrot?

Some more trivia: necktie, parachute and torpedo are Croatian inventions. In fact, the company I work for has welding lab in the old factory where Torpedo was invented 150 years ago.

I did not know that about parachute. Wow.

I saw Mirko Filipovic once in person. He is one mean looking and freaking huge dude. I'd not like to mess with him. I'd simply break down and cry if he spoke to me. :)

Agility 125 / Re: New ride alert! Got my Agility 125!

Yeah, probably, but I had over half a can left from previous scoot that needed
it twice/month so 3 months doesn't sound bad at all.

Try it out, but essentialy, it's a waste of time and money.
I sprayed all of my scooters' cans from the moment they started rusting - this spray, that spray, sanding and grinding - nothing really helps, they always rust, no matter the make of the scooter and build quality.

Leave it as it is, nothing bad will happen to the scoot, except your vanity will be a bit hurt. ;)

Am I the only fan of Punxsutawney Phil who lives across the globe?

Hell, no!
Just look at that cute face, those full cheeks, those pretty teeth...

It's disaster according to many things.. one of them being that I haven't seen over 5L/100km on my
Kawasaki with almost 4x more power  ;D .. and I usually average around 4,3-4,5l!

I have no idea about the differences between the 125 and 150, and I haven't found any sites that mention
them. I DO know that kymco offers a 70 (or 80cc?) kit for their Agility 50 that just bolts right on without
changing anything else and costs the same as a new 50cc cylinder kit.

If that's the same case with 125 vs 150, it should be the cheapest (only?) way of improving both the
acceleration and top speed slightly.

4,3-4,5 liters? My God, dear man, are you even moving with that bike at all?
I think there's a lot of work just to replace 125 cc with the 150 cc. It's not just bolt-on, even with the 70cc's is a lot of work. Probably a better idea just buy some 150cc right away.

That's probably the route I would have taken some 15 years ago.. but the little A125 is
as fast as I need it to be around town, and the only thing I'll be looking to improve is it's
fuel mileage as I ride a lot and am on a very tight monthly budget.

There IS an Agility 150 available (both the old and new City R16) with about 10,5hp and
that's an option I might consider, swapping out the engine parts, but not before mine hits
at least 20.000km.

If your tight budget doesn't allow you to have a 125 cc with a fuel mileage of only 3 l/100 km, then it's probably a better idea to stay home and just use your feet as means of transportation or, better yet, not have a scooter at all, isnt' it?
After all, there's just a tad more than a fuel consumption and that's fun and joy while riding, no matter what the cc's are, I hope you realize that.

...lol..yeah, but i bet a free-flow air filter, rejetting the carb, some lighter rollers and a stiffer torque spring would be a bit more enjoyable...

 ;D

Thaaat's right, wordslinger, that's the ticket to Funville, Enjoyland!!! ;)
