Agility 125 / Re: More light

Much better!  The low beam by itself is too scattered but now the foglight fills in the patchy spots. When I have the high beam on, the new light keeps what's in front of me illuminated.

Well I bought a 55w fog light kit for atvs and motorcycles and used just one light.  I mounted it just above the fender on the steering column and fit the switch in between the engine kill switch and the electric start on the handle bars.  I'm getting no dimming at all and everything works fine so if anyone is interested in mounting any more lights, I'd say go for it as long as you use the wire that comes with the kit and connect it directly to the battery.  I would imagine the bike could handle 2 35w lights easily.

Right, I wouldn't be changing the stock headlight or anything though, I would just like to add extra lights.  Driving/fog/auxiliary lights to give a little extra.  I guess what I'm asking is, would I be able to purchase a separate set of lights complete with their own wiring set up and switch and run them off the battery?  I don't know how the charging system/alternator would handle extra loads like that.  I was looking at a set of 35w driving lights made for motorcycles but I'd like to see if anyone else has done this before with no bad side effects lol.

Hey folks, I recently bought a 2007 A125 with just over 1k kilometers and so far I'm really impressed.  The only problem area I have is the headlight.  It's just not bright enough for the driving I do (mostly night driving to and from work).  I was wondering if anyone has ever added auxiliary driving lights to improve visibility.  I saw that bi-xenon retrofit thread and hell, that would be amazing to do but it's way out of my mechanical know-how.  Would 2 55w lights be too much for the electrical system on the bike?  I also hear the agility uses ac current instead of dc, is this true as well?

So far, all I have done is 12g roller weights.  I don't plan on doing much else to it performance wise, perhaps stiffer clutch springs in the future.  I would like to install a digital speedometer/tachometer such as the trail tech vapor universal unit.  Probably install some driving lights too as the stock headlight isn't enough for the type of driving I do.

I can see how you would want more padding coming from a 50cc that has a suspension built for 1up but the a125 has a heavy spring suspension for 2 riders and would feel quite stiff riding alone.  Someone on here posted a DIY for installing more padding in your seat.  Just remove about 20 staples from the seat and slide some foam padding in for extra cusion.  Improving the handling is something more difficult.  I'm not sure and correct me if I'm wrong but the zuma has 10" wheels vs the agility's 12" wheels.  The zumas wheels will allow you to turn sharper and more quickly than the larger wheels on the agility will.  Couple that with the 125cc engine that jumps on a quarter turn of the throttle and you have something harder to control than a 50cc zuma.  I came from a honda metropolitan that ran like a dream and took corners like nothing I've ever driven before but I needed something more so I know where you're coming from haha.
