Agility 125 / Re: Who has gone
« on: April 12, 2011, 06:45:09 AM »
I had mine checked @ 6.5K and they didnt need adjusting. I certainly think the schedule set is overkill and with the hourly labour charge in the UK so high they can do one. I intend to ride mine until i really notice a difference from here on in.

NB I did get the valve checked @ 6.5K when I replaced the engine (most likely due to me going flat out most of the time)

I gave mine full power most of the time (after running in), the engine blew after 5k, it had regular oil changes. Now with a new engine installed I ride it 45 - 50 and thats about its max if you want it to last imo.

Have you checked the solenoid? If not please do.

My starter motor went click click ... I replaced the solenoid and it started first time better than ever.

Cant help thinking the solenoid is a weak link.

Kymco UK never rang me back even though the lady was freindly on the phone.

It turned out the internal bearings had gone.

I bought another engine from ebay and it's been fitted and the bike runs again.

The new engine had a 3 months warranty and does run better than the old one but it does stutter a bit at lower speeds but the other one did too ???. The solenoid went and I had it replaced with a better one my freind had laying around and that made it start way way better.

I'm starting to trust it a little more again and am using it daily for work.

Hi,
    Thanks for youre help again axy. To be honest im not sure if it is bearings OR crankshaft because we didnt continue stripping it any further but it is one or the other. I am very confident in my freind and the starter motor worked ok on its own but jammed when it was atatched properly due to the crank / bearing problem. Also the kickstarter didnt work correctly it also got stuck. I will take some pictures of the stage im at as I am sure I should be able to describe the problem better so you can identify it is a serious problem. I shall do it tomorrow.

Thanks again.

We tested all the electrics fuel etc the the starter motor seemed jammed so we to it off and tested it on its own and it was ok. Then my freind stripped it so the piston was exposed and it wiggled and was loose and we stopped there as he said the big ends gone. I dont have pictures as we didnt strip it down any further.

Im not sure whether to get the bits or a new engine or just sell it for spares.

Its an 09 but the warranty wont hold as I did all the oil changes etc because the garages charge so much money.

The engines gone. Mechanic tested everything then stripped back to the engine looked at the piston and said the big ends gone. The oil changes have been done regularly and the bikes only done 6800km. I bought the bike to save money now its going to cost me money. Not sure the cheapest way out of this.  :'(

Luckily enough my mate is a car mechanic and he is going to have a look at it. I should add that two months ago one litre of diesel was put in it by mistake by me when in a rush but I added proper unleaded to the top and it ran ok and has has 7 fill ups since then. I did also put in some redex injector cleaner last run.

I will report back freinds.

Coming home today after a 35 km ride the bike gave up. I thought I felt something let go in the engine, it seemed to lose a lot of power really quickly then carried on for a 1/4 of a km with the engine running not too well then it died. Later on whilst walking it home I restarted it, it started and went very slowly then died again. Now it wont start and the starter tries to start it but then it gives out a loudish click and doesnt start. It just felt like something let go in the engine when it happend.
I know it really difficult from my description but I am wondering what to do as I am no mechanic and the costs for mechanics time in England are ridiculous when compared to the cost of the bike. The bike has covered 7000 km, it has had regular oil gear and engine changed. It hasnt as yet had the valve clearances checked. I have been running it on super unleaded for a few weeks?     :'(

Lie on the floor on the side of the scoot where the variator is and look up: you will see the black rubber spark plug cap and a cable.
Tear the cap off: the spark plug is underneath.
You can use the spark plug wrench and a screwdriver piece from the OEM tool set under the seat to remove it, be careful to use the right side.

It requires some fiddling as the space is narrow and there are few pieces of sharp metal around there (frame, metal OEM tags etc.), I usually cut both hands when I change it, so be prepared...

The alternative would be removing the box under the seat togetwher with the seat, and you can have access to the spark plug from above.


I took the box off but couldnt identify the plug and didnt want to pull things around... when i am looking at the top of the engine with the box off can you help me identify the plug?

Thanks

Agility 125 / Spark Plug Replacement
« on: October 25, 2010, 08:37:51 AM »
Hi,
    I am having trouble locating the spark plug. I have the manual which shows a picture but I cant see what part of the engine this relates to and I dont want to take all the plastic bits off if I dont need to! The scooter is great and I am trying to save as much money as possible by doing what maintenance I can and I figure the spark plug must be pretty easy when you know where to look. Have already done the oil with no problems.

I would be very gratfull for youre help!

Can anyone tell me exactly how to replace the spark plug?

Thanks in advance
