Agility 50 / Re: lower the height of kymco agility 50
« on: July 28, 2014, 08:28:21 PM »
4 - 5 inches and you will be basically on the ground and not really driver friendly. 

Other than that I have not been able to find actual parts specific for kymco that are made to lower the scooter.  but I have toyed with the idea of getting ruckus lowering forks and trying to fit them.  HOwever, I don't feel the need to spend the funds over $100 US to get them and them not work.  I have other ideas but the electricals won't hold for a compressor to air ride the scooter.

Zombie,

Mine actually were never hooked up from dealer.  2011 agility 50.  The wire comes out of the bulb sockets to the plug for the headlight but the but the the plug on the wiring harness for the scooter did not have a wire in it the would hookup to the same location of the wire location for those lights on the headlight plug. 

I spliced the wires to my turn signals and they worked but like you said they were very bright.  now that I think about it I guess they wouldn't be turn signals since they were in the same plug location.  (My fault for trusting the internet)

If in the US they are not hooked up.  They don't meet US specs for turn signals.  I did hook them up to my turn signals but they are very bright in my opinion.  and since headlights is on constent no need to hook them up as driving lights.

Agility 50 / Re: My Agility suddenly stops the engine while driving......

When this occurs is it after you hit a bump in the road. If so, were you at full throttle and what was the gas level.

I had issues that seemed when the gas tank would be about 1/4 or less full or 1/2 depending on the bump size. And I had the scooter at full throttle I would have issues of the engine sputtering and on ocassion stop.  it would take a second or two but would start back up.  I narrowed it down to the bump causing the full to move and allow air into the cylinder and not gas.  and these were dencet bumps not minor road changes or small bump but like mini pot holes or speedhumps (like speed bumps but wider at the top so not so much of a bumps)

I tested by hitting speed humps near my house at full throttle and it caused the engine to sputter.  then test by letting off the throttle when going over it and kept running fine.  I tried it a few times each and same results full throttle would sputter or stall.  letting off the throttle it was fine.

just another possibility

Honestly, if you are not running lean the no need to up the jet.  more fuel doesn't necessarily mean more power.  If mixture is right now then you will just be wasting fuel.

I would agree that if this is your main means of transportation or you don't want the possiblity on failure then don't upgrade.  I am going to be upgrading since had other issues and this is no longer my primary mode of transportation.  I am going to use the kit that Zombie posted in my thread and claims to have had it for 2 years now. but if anything doesn happen agian not my main ride so would have chance to fix without worries.

As for the bent crank or other issues.  Yes you are pretty much reducing the life of the parts if they are not designed for bigger, but the actual longevity can be dependent on multiple things.  It may give out tomorrow it may last years.  But also depends on how you ride.  if you go all out from start to stop and constantly like that then will pontentially last less time then if you are easy on the throttle and careful with accelerations and decelarations.

IN the long run yes shorter life span than staying stock and if that worries you don't do it.  As stated go bigger scooter.  Which is why I went to a 150 for my new one.  Acceleration is perfect for me and can easily stay up with traffic at speed on city roads with speed limit at 45mph.  I cruise between 45 and 50 and that is only at about 1/2 to 3/4 throttle depending on speed.  And the cost of that versus another 50 was only a couple hundred more.

Zombie one final question.  What CDI are you using.  The CDI with the KIT is AC fire and Kymco is DC fire?  Should stock do fine or should I upgrade.?

Zombie,

What is the difference (if you know), between that kit (kit 5) and the Kit 6.  Looking at the ebay descriptions the Kit 6 shows intake valve diameter of 23mm and exhaust diameter 20mm, and has bigger jets 95, 100, 105.

Kit 5 doesn't say Valve diameters and has jets 80, 85, 90.

Everything else seems the same other than thos and kit 6 being 15 dollars more.  Living in Northeast Florida would you think the Kit 6 with bigger jets would be the route to go? 

Just trying to make sure I get the one that may need less extras and getting the right kit.

Thanks for your tremendious info you have provided.

Are you using the cdi provided with the kit? And what jet are you using.

Agility 50 / Movin' on up
« on: April 17, 2014, 09:17:43 PM »
So my Agility has been giving me grief lately.  After finally getting it working again something still seemed to not be working correctly.  I was trying to diagnose the issue because it seemed air fuel related possible the enricher going bad.  I would have some trouble starting it, but if I found the sweet spot twisting the throttle when trying to start it would start right up.  However, when riding if I had to let it idle for long period it would stall out.  (it was gradual stall with RPMs reducing more and more until done) So I would have to keep a little throttle to stay running.  Well rode for a few weeks then one day I had the scooter parked under a canopy and without me knowing a gust of wind came through and shifted the canopy and knocked over the scooter.  By the time I noticed I wasn't sure how long it was laying over.  Well it started after I got the scooter on its wheels but then died out shortly since that time it hasn't wanted to start.  So I pulled the cylinder apart and it looks like there may have been an issue the gasket to the cylinder and looks like maybe something happened when it fell over and caused back pressure when I started it and blew the gasket. 

Take this issue with the fact that I have been wanting more so I can ride to work an keep up with traffic a little better I have decided to move on up to a 150.  But will still be in the Kymco Family.  Getting a Super 8 150.

THe agility will be rebuilt but since not going to be my main transportation I will be doing the BBK upgrade, cam,  etc.  and see just how much I can get out of the 50cc starting platform.  I don't expect miracles.  but at least I will have something fun to ride on the weekends and just use the 150 for my daily.  possibly do some body mods and other stuff.  just to make it a little flashy.

Oh no :(

Fitted the 1500 spring today, but now it won't pull over about 20mph! I think I will need to go back to the stock spring or maybe get a 1000 to try...
did you get a new contra spring for the 50cc or did you use the 125?

There is no need to improve displacement just for acceleration unless you want to reduce the longevity of the scooter.  There are plenty of options to inprove acceleration.  But being a 50cc they are still limited.  right now you are going in the right direction.  But if upgrading roller weights and contra spring why not just upgrade variator also.  that will also help.

Upgrading the variator also has to potential to increase your top speed around 5 mph.

Agility 50 / Re: How to get more speed WITHOUT de-restricting
« on: January 30, 2014, 03:11:24 PM »
I agree have him wait to get bigger scoot legally. but if that is not going to work and needs the smaller scoot and no way to avoid big roads, then I would derestrict.  I rather take the one in a million chance of having an issue regarding insurance versus the million chances he may get hit by another vehicle because he is going much slower. 

Rather have criminal charges over possible funeral charges.  You can fight the criminal charges.
