On one side there are 4 wires, 3 without the color plastic that ID the wires and one black. On the other side I see 5 wires. 2 green, one red, one black and one half black and half white. I wonder if the picture that I attached is of any help?

Technical | How To / Kymco Agility 50 Ignition Fix
« on: August 18, 2020, 05:29:32 PM »
My Kymco got stolen and the person hot wired the ignition (See picture).Basically the cables are ripped apart and jumbled.
  • Any info on how to fix it?
  • Do I need to buy parts?
  • Is there any place in the internet with a step by step on how to do it? (Youtube videos on the subject are crap)

Thanks

I'm going to add this to the conversation. I have ride my scooter (Agility 50) at 45 Km/H downhill on some occasions. I will tell you that is not safe at all. The scooter is stable at that speed but you can tell that if it goes faster you won't feel safe the same way that you will with a bigger bike. That top speed is enough for that type of scooter.
This scooter was made for city life, to enjoy going around safely and at a medium speed.

Engine heat paint 1200 works the best...
Thanks for the tip again.

I'm not sure if you can get it in the US, and it's not very pretty, but a tin of Granville's High Temperature Cylinder Black paint works wonders on an exhaust.

I'm afraid the rust is pretty standard. I should have kept more pictures of how my courier hack looked after 2 and a half years. You would all feel much better!
Thanks for the tip. I will look for it.

Somewhat normal, yes.
What country are you in?
Have seen photos of 3 yr old scooters used daily in the U.K. and they look dreadful - esp. with rust on exhaust and center and side stands.
 I also gather that few of these scoots are ever rinsed off, due to weekly rides in the rain.

I would give those areas a good clean, then mask off your scooter with newspaper sheets and give it a spray with a can of high temp black paint. If you're really ambitious you could remove the exhaust to do this......but I have gotten pretty good results by using newspaper and spraying the exhaust in place.

After the paint was well cured I'd give as many exposed areas as you can reach with a spray and wipe with ACF-50 Anti-Corrosion Lubricant Compound to ward off future rust. It will smell a bit until it's cooked in by the engine heat.

I live in Upstate NY. Yes, the scooter was outside during this winter but is indoors now. Thanks for the tips. I will try and paint it using the newspapers. Thanks for the tip.

Ya gotta wash 'em pretty regular, Moon, especially in winter. An exhaust will rust faster because of the heat. The Agility is the simplest of the Kymcos and they build them quickly. They may use cheaper paint and plating on some parts. The engines are Honda-inspired bullet-proof so no problem there. If yours was a horse it would have died last month!

:-) I love my scooter, it was simply ignorance on my part. I will take better care now. Thanks for the advice.

I have had similar experience when I rode in rain, did not hose off the bike and let the bike sit over the winter.  I suspect that storing the bike outside would have resulted in worse damage.  Since corrosion shows metal exposure to the elements, the best course of action is to remove the corroded parts, prep and paint.
OK got it. Thanks for the advice.

Hello Community,
As the title says it: 6 month old and 500 miles. Is this rust normal? (See attach pics)
I wonder if there any way to get rid and prevent the rust advancing?
Thanks

Agility 50 / Agility 50 BBasic tools for Routine maintenace
« on: April 26, 2018, 01:26:42 PM »
Hi All,
I want to do my own maintenance and I want to buy just a limited set of tools for that. I notice that the tools that come with the scooter DO NOT have the wrench for oil and transmission fluid change. Beside the wrench for fluids, what other indispensable tool do I need to do Basic maintenance myself?
Thanks
