impressive work to all of you who are changing your own tires...looks like a brutal job!

I thought it was going to be but it wasn't that bad, had a mate (ex tyre fitter) help me out with just a couple of my tyre spoons & some soapy water, did manage to scratch some paint of the edge of the rim but i`m not bothered about that, its an easy fix with an aerosol/rattle can of black.  :D

Went with Michelin City Grip 2`s & what a difference from them crappy (Chinese made) OEM tyres, i can now lean the bike over with confidence.

The OEM tires are dangerous IMO.

I swear by Michelin City Grips...

I was going to start a new topic but i have my answers, iv`e nearly come a cropper three or four times on this 'new to me' scooter, the front end just wants to tuck in & only because of my quick reactions have i managed to save it, the OEM rubber is utter crap.

So i read up on the Michelin City Grip & nothing but rave reviews, so thanks everyone.

I'm in Australia too and it's always a hassle to get any Kymco specific part. I just get the fluids, spark plugs and filters here, but other parts e.g. drive belt, brake pads, transmission parts, fairings, electronics from overseas, such as Taiwan Big Scooter Shop, eBay or bike-parts-kymco UK.

Cheers Mouse, yep i have e-mailed bike-parts-kymco.uk/ this arvo with my chassis number & the belt number so awaiting their response.

if your current belt is the OEM belt it will be stamped with the full Kymco part number. That's one way to check it.

Good point, so i took the cover off to get the number & whilst i was in there i had a look at the clutch & sure enough they was all glazed over, didn't have any sandpaper handy so i used a stanley blade to remove the glaze & blew the dust out of the bell, i will get myself a flapper wheel for next time to take the glaze off in there also.

Thanks for the input/help lads the scoot runs lovely (no juddering) and now i can order a spare belt, nothing wrong with this one i just want to have a spare handy in the motorhome as i rely on the scoot & getting parts in Australia can be problematic (4-6 weeks back-order kind of problem)  >:(





I will be posting another topic but its not clutch related & i like to keep threads topic related.

@Mezo,
maybe this company could help....
(pls see pics)

Cheers i am on their site now but cannot find my model? possibly because i have an Aussie import & they are listing euro models? from reading my chassis number i have an LC2U which i believe is the GY6 motor.

Parts are usually best if they are Kymco OEM. Your local kymco dealer(s) should be able to order any part you need.

You would think eh, my local stealership quoted me $115 for an OEM belt & cannot get one for between 4 & 6 weeks, hence why i don`t bother with Australian suppliers as they are always a rip off or they try to sell you cheap Chinese parts at OEM prices. (welcome to Australia) so id rather find a one stop shop overseas.

Does anyone know the OEM part number for the belt or point me to a fiche please, i have seen JT brand belts from the UK any good?

Agility 125 / Clutch Judder

Hello everyone,

Been riding motorbikes all my life (over 45 years) been riding scooters only two, my first was a little 50cc Chinese Vespa thingy which handled quite well but was not fast enough.
I have now upgraded to an Agility Carry 125 & love its practicality & so far reliability, i 'carry' the carry on the back of my motorhome so when i`m parked up i can go do my shopping.



So its a 2017 & its done just over 5000km and it was a one owner bike, i have changed the engine oil & transmission oil & chucked in a new spark plug whilst i was there. I have noticed recently clutch judder which from reading is common & i am riding in a manner to overcome this problem (gunning it)  ;D

But i`m a fussy prick & i would like to fix the issue & reading Stigs posts i think he or someone mentions open cooling bells to not only dissipate some heat but clutch dust also, seems logical to me as a motorbike guy. So what are your recommendations on cooling bell, clutch & a thing that`s new to me? variators??

Whilst i`m in there i would also like to change the drive belt so any recommendations on good ones (not cheap crap) and also is there a one stop shop where i can order EVERYTHING from in one go? i am located in Australia but there doesn't seem to be any decent scooter shops that sell the lot, i may even invest in a better breathing exhaust pipe & talking of breathing the standard air filter is crap & i cannot seem to find a K&N replacement? so i`m guessing they don`t make one? (not a cone filter one that`s fits the OEM airbox).

TIA.

Mezo.
