I added a couple of metal washers under the hook and that fixed it for me.

Agility 125 / Re: Re-setting the clock/date
« on: February 24, 2012, 08:10:45 PM »
Pressing the lower button will put you in set mode and toggle you through each setting (hour, minute, second, month, data), the upper button allows you to scroll through the numbers for each setting.  You can tell you are in set mode when only one of the numbers (like hour or minute) are displayed.  Don't feel bad, the translated English manual is unintelligible in places, and this is one of them. Even when set my clock loses a few minutes each month, but still handy on a ride since I really lose track of time.  I ride motorcycles too and it still amazes me how much fun this thing is to ride.

Technical | How To / Gear Oil
« on: August 06, 2011, 05:17:57 PM »
The manual for my Agility 125 calls  for a SAE 90 weight gear oil, but at the local auto parts stores all the gear oils were multi-viscosity.  I went with the Castrol Hypoy C SAE 80w90 gear oil as that seemed closest to a straight 90, and Castrol generally makes good products.  Any issue with using 80w90?  If so what alternatives are available and where do you get them?

That is correct, only wet clutch motorcycles require special motorcycle oil.  For dry clutch bikes (like CVT scooters) the correct SAE viscosity motor oil is fine.

The two things synthetic oil is better at is longevity and heat tolerance.  Since the Agility 125 does not have an oil filter we cannot take advantage of the longevity synthetic oil provides because we have to change the oil to get rid of the solids a filer could remove.  With an air cooled engine the heat tolerance can come into play depending upon your local climate.  I’m in Texas and its 107 F today so yes I can benefit from synthetic oil.  Long term test have shown there is no benefit to changing your oil more frequently than the manufacturer recommends.  This last bit is going to inflame some folks but it’s been proven in extensive studies, the most notable one done by Consumers Union.

Agility 125 / Re: MPG
« on: July 30, 2011, 02:05:29 PM »
Got my new scoot this week, I pulled in for gas as soon as the fuel guage touched the red block.  Knowing it only holds 1.3 gallons I didn't know how far into the red is really empty.  Well it only took .88 gallons at 130km; that works out to 91 MPG.  Count me impressed.
