Hmm, that does sound weird. Just by changing to a smooth boss on my Agility 50 I was able to do 65kmh. How many KMS on it? And have you checked the sparkplug/carburetor/clutch lately?

Question:

And this is now noticeably slower acceleration for a 50cc scooter ?

Trust me, I've driven it for months and now it's been a week. I can tell.

Technical | How To / Sudden loss of power

Hello
TL;DR: Lost some power after really straining the engine for a second, any ideas why?
I had attached a pretty tough dog leash to the luggage rack on my Agility 50, to serve as a fastener for my backpack. Somehow the other day, at the worst possible moment (a three second traffic light that leads straight to the highway, 20 cars behind me), it wriggled itself out and even though both ends were still tied, a segment of it got stuck in the wheel. To my great surprise afterwards, the good ole GY6 snapped it, but was put under a lot of stress and I can safely say there's been some power lost somewhere (takes me 10-15s to reach 45kmh/28mph, engine warm and on level ground). Have any of you been in a similar situation? It wasn't no joke, the thing must have exerted a force of at least 90kg/200 lb. The only thing I can think of is the belt having been displaced, but there might be a more technical reason so I'd rather ask. Thanks for any advice

Hi again,
Spent half my evening learning how to change the main jet, and when I get to the darn thing, I see I've got the wrong one! After two weeks of waiting :( I had read on motorcycles.com that the new Agilitys have a Keihin but nope, as it so happens mine came with a Dellorto. So to play the safe card I'd like to ask if anyone knows what type it actually is before ordering a new jet. Off the record, is there any chance I'd be better off running a slightly bigger jet (say an 84) if my everyday route consists of 6 KMS at full throttle?
Thanks!

Hey everyone, thanks for the answers. Little update:
I've put in 150 kms already and have had no problems so far, which is indeed in accordance with most of the posts on this thread :D contacted Kymco Benelux to ask what jet they put on their stock A50s but since it's been a week and no answer ive just bought an 82 online (which is also taking its time to arrive). Have no idea if it's running lean cos reaching the sparkplug's a bit more annoying than it should be but ah well, it's getting me to 60 kmh /40 mph so I guess it's fine for the moment. Btw, in case anyone is scared about insurance problems and such: where I'm from, the police is to be called only in the case of someone actually getting hurt, and they WILL check your scoot only if there's reason to believe you were driving at more than 45kmh... So basically imo you have to be riding pretty recklessly for that to happen.

You did not mention what heat level you had observed before doing the work...
redk
Yes, I wish I knew. But this morning after my morning commute of  +/- 7 miles it was hot enough around the air duct that you had to take your hand off after a few seconds. Everything on the outside seems properly installed so yeah, I'm still having my doubts

Hey guys, first post  :D
So I recently purchased a new 2016 Agility 50 and after riding out the first 1000 km (600 miles) nice and slow I decided it was time to remove the variator restriction. Didn't come up with any apparent problems during the whole procedure, and I made sure to put the belt back on loose and align the pulley teeth with those of the crankshaft. Soo after maybe 5 km (3 miles) of riding I've noticed that the cover is heating up quite a bit, not so much as to not be able to touch it or anything (maybe cos it wasn't for long) but definitely noticeable... Anything wrong? Heard some other ppl had had problems with the belt after tampering with it so I reckoned it safe to ask :)
If nothing s wrong I'll soon be upjetting to an 82 and maybe Changing the CDI, anyways I've been browsing the forums since way before buying my scoot, lot of good advice around here :D thanks for any help!
