Thanks.  According to the seller, the pipe was the only mod.  He says it does 47 mph.  I easily hit 40 yesterday without going full throttle.

I love it!!!  What a difference from my Spree.

The battery was dead so I charged it last night.  However, I am still unable to use the electric start.  Not a big deal and I will make sure I am trying to start it correctly before I assume the worse.

I am also going to change the plug as he said he only put gas and oil in it since he owned it.

The throttle seems to stick from a dead stop and then it wants to jump.  Could that be related to a old plug or is it likely the actual cable/throttle assembly itself?

There also seems to be a slight rattling sound as well.  He says it was the kick stand.  

If the muffler is changed, are there other mods that should be done along with it for mechanical reasons?  I want to make sure that what he did was complete.

I picked up an 05 with 1300 miles on it.  It needs a battery and has not been tuned up in a few years.  Even so, it ran real nice.

He also had new front plastics and underside even though they are not needed.

Sure.  http://newhaven.craigslist.org/mcy/2900111851.html

However, it was his text that said it was a 4t.  Must be a typo.  Thank you for confirming.

I'm asking because a CL add has one listed as a 4T.

Agility 50 / Re: 2008 Kymco Super 9 LC 50 2T vs 2012 Agility?

I plan on using my scooter primarily to and from work 23 mile round trip.  Some hills.  I wanted to be able to go 35 -45 mph and get as close to 100mpg as possible.

I do know these scooters where bought from Martha Vinyards.  So they were rentals.  Kind of scary...

Agility 50 / 2008 Kymco Super 9 LC 50 2T vs 2012 Agility?
« on: April 24, 2012, 05:36:17 PM »
Hello.  A local dealer just got some 2008 Kymco Super 9 LC 50 2T and is selling them for $999.  They seem to have 8-12k miles.

I understand the liquid cooled is a good thing.  However, I am concerned about the 30 day warranty and the mileage when compared to a new agility with 2 year and well, low to no miles.

What are some of the things I should weigh?

Is the 2008 Kymco Super 9 LC 50 2T a much faster scooter?

Any input would be appreciated.

Agility 50 / Re: Looking at buying new Kymco Agility 50. De-restriction procedure Confused Help
« on: April 19, 2012, 05:59:16 PM »
I'm looking at buying a 2012 Agility 50.  What is the top speed for a restricted showroom scooter?  And does derestricting in itself effect gas mileage as long as driving habits don't change?

Agility 50 / Im shopping for either an 2012 Agilty 50 or 09 Like 50 2t

I am looking for a scooter that is 49CC, gets 90 mpg, and will do 35-40.

Which model is the preferred one to meet these specs?

My understanding is both will be limited to 30 mph when restricted.  So, which is "easier" to de-restrict to get to 40mph?

Thanks

It seems ok.  I picked it up for only $200.  Had 27,000 miles on it.  I put about another $100 into it already.  I do not know much about locating engine types.  I wish to keep a 2 stroke. 

What do you think I could expect to pay for a replacement engine?

Do you have any trustworthy sources I should look at for a GY6?

Thank you for your suggestion.

I bought an 01 kymco cobra.  I found out the head needs to be replaced and now I am looking to part out the bike.

As I'm new ti this site, where should such postings be placed?

Thanks

Hi.  I got a compression tester and plug gaper today.  So I'll verify both.

I was also wondering if anyone new how many turns the air/fuel mixture screw should be.

Thanks
