Between 10 - 20mph I get a nasty sounding grind that also vibrates the plastic under my feet. It sounds as if it's coming from directly under the floorboard, but I'm pretty sure there are no moving parts down there, just wires.

I took the scoot in for a service and they replaced the clutch rollers and gave me a new belt. They said it ran fine now. But as I pulled out of the shop I could still hear the grinding and feel the vibration.

I don't want to take the scoot back and look like a hypochondriac. I kind of want to open it up and see if I can identify the problem before I take it back (if I need to. Maybe I can fix it?) Any idea what it could be? The grinding happens as I accelerate from a stop, and it happens right around 10mph.

Hey guys, my scooter has had a terrible month. Pushed over 3 weeks ago, got into an accident 2 weeks ago, and then today I found the bike pushed over AGAIN.

Where can I purchase some replacement parts? I need a new turn signal and a couple body panels. Since the repairs for the most recent pushover are under my deductible, I'm just going to fix it myself.

I need:
Front Left turn signal light
Left hand break lever,
Front wheel fender

Ya, I'm going to do my best to avoid pain killers. I just finished stretching for about 30min and I feel better. We'll see what its like after a nights sleep. I'm thinking I should just keep working it and not settle into a wo-is-me attitude. Keep my body moving and the recovery will hopefully be better and faster... as long as I don't push too hard. The nurse warned me that I'll feel worse and worse for the next few days... not looking forward to that! haha

Ok, so I decided that maybe the best way to solve this issue, is to take you all along for the ride.

I tried installing the breaklight wires again, and again I got confused and stopped So here is what I discovered.

Here is my scooter! A beautiful Agility 125:



To get to your engine you have to remove the seat + seat storage box. You DO NOT have to remove the seat FROM the box. Just remove the 4 bolts and the screw in the front. The screw in the front is connected to a little square bolt thing that popped off when I lifted the seat out of the frame. Nothing broke, but it was surprising.




So once the seat is off, you have access to the engine area. This is where I got stuck, because the manual I was using (http://www.scootercommunity.com.au/files/folders/bug_kymco/default.aspx ... Section 02 Frame Body Exhaust) says, "Remove Center Cover"

Ok... that doesn't help me. Are there any screws? As you can see in the picture, there seems to be some plastic tabs, but they are in there REALLY tight, and I didn't want to crack the plastic by forcing them too much. I also seem to have clear access to some wires, but nothing is labeled, so I don't know if what I am seeing is what I need access too.






So this is where I am. Do I try to force those plastic tabs? can I attach the breaklight wires to any of those wires I have access too?
