Agility 125 / Re: Star-tron fuel treatment, what do you think?
« on: July 28, 2014, 06:08:48 AM »
Liquid Performance  Ethanol Equalizer  - great stuff. My wifes 2009 Agility would sputter at 35-40mph. After putting some of this in and riding about .5 mile- it just took off and has run great ever since. I have used Sea Foam from day one and I have 5000 mile on her. I just sprayed (cleaned) out the inner carb. and adjusted the valves with no luck until I tried this stuff. Watch the video demo on youtube, I believe they compare it to Star-tron ! I have another rider try it on his 2005 Triumph and it cleared out his rough idle and help his throttle performance. The local BMW shop swears by this stuff, and now I do.

It even took the ping out of my Road King. Watch the video demo on youtube !

Good luck, I wish I could try one of those smaller 1000 mile Iron Butt challenges. I've had great results using RIDE-ON tire sealant and balancer, and it has sealed my tires from at least 5 out of the 6 times I had a nail or screw in my tires. The only one it didn't seal was a long sheet rock screw that ripped out of my tire at 70 MPH. It's great stuff. I also carry a small air compressor to go with a backup tire plug kit, just in case. I think you got everyting covered-wait Liquid, I meant prescription Pain killers  :D

I also added gold reflective rim tape and clear hand air deflectors bolted to the lower windshield that are just like the black lower ones I already installed. These pics were posted under my upgrades some time ago. Will try to new get correct pics. Sorry

I had the same problem, however it was not the screws being loose, it was the lenght of the screws. The screws were tight and bottomed out and I added some S.S. washers to push down on the cover. Of course a shorter screw would work. Same issue I had with the main exhaust cover. Go figure.

I second the GO RAVENS. I had season tickets for over 10 years for the Ravens and my dad had Baltimore Colts season tickets for years. 5 straight years in the playoffs and at least 5 playoff wins for our Quarterback Flacco with 3 years making it to the AFC Championship game. It our time !  We hope the Niners get there also. A Family battle-John and Jim

I just took the OEM number of the spark plug from the owner's manual and off the original spark plug and cross referenced it to a NGK Iridium plug form their website to match it for an equivalent plug. I then installed it and it works great. If you need the part number I can get it to you. This is from the NGK website for the spark plug I used : Laser Iridium® spark plugs provide superior ignitability and long service life.  Smallest tip diameter available Iridium / Platinum surfaces ensure slow wear rate providing stable idle, superior anti fouling, improved fuel efficiency and lower emissions

Laser welded Iridium center electrode tip
Platinum disc welded to backside of ground electrode provides long life
Trivalent Metal Plating for superior anti-corrosion and anti-seizing
Faster starts and quicker acceleration
Better fuel economy and lower emissions
Best OEM Iridium spark plug available
Original Equipment Manufacturer approved design

The deflectors are Memphis Shades custom lower ones that I got
from JP Cycless part # 750-350 at $24.99 usd per pair. I took
Out one of the screws in the plastic housing and got a stainless
Steel one about 3/4'' longer. I drilled one hole in the middle
Of the plastic and use black Velcro on the other side to help
Hold it. It handles the high speed great and blocks the cold air
From your upper legs and knees. These are a generic part
For any bike to mount on the forks however i adapted them
To the scooter. They have nine differant colors and I thought
Yellow might look good with gold but my wife talked my into
The black and it blends in great I think. I just put a 9.6 amp
Hour small deap cycle battery in my bag and run the plug
Out to use my electric jacket liner when its cold. I just
Recharge it when I'm done riding. The battery is small
And light at just a few lbs. I also used a fender washer
To help with the screw to hold the deflector on place.
With the SS screw to cover more service area to keep
The deflector stable and tight to the housing.

I use Ride-On tire balancer- sealant in all my scooters and bikes. It's made for bikes and it self balances the tire. This stuff has sealed about 6 out of seven tires that had nails and screws in them. The only one it didn't because the stew ripped out. When you get a nail- screw you warm the tire by riding and then you stop and pull or unscrew the screw than ride for around 10 miles. You only loose. Few PSI's and you fill it up and your done. I have used the slime portable air compressors from Wallmart and they last for about 10 Fills for $10.00.

Over for $25.00 because of this. Fits great And well made if you don't mind an Aprilia name on it. Of course I Also own a Mana GT 850.

I just installed a HID headlight and you will see the tabs inside the ends of left and right handlebars. The tabs can be pushed with a small flat blade screwdriver to open them up to separate the plastic cover. There are also three more tabs at the top. One in the middle and two to both sides at the top. There is one screw in the small black windscreen that you will see after removing the two screws loooking at the dash under the windscreen. This will pop up and out of place.This should open the entire cover after all the screws and mirrors have been removed.

Sorry, I forgot that you will need to get (2) right hand threaded mirror adaptors that are 10mm not the 8 mm supplied. Slipstreamer can send then to you direct for around $9.00.

I have the same issue with my Agility 125. I've had it for almost a year and 2500 kilometers. It sounds like something in the rear end like a metal skipping noise. Accelerate and its there let off and it goes away. I haven't opened the cover of the belt drive to see what it might be yet. I checked the gear lube and changed it, it did look O.K. The breaks don't drag and the rear wheel free spins fine. I think it might be something in the variator.

The scoot 66 is the short one and both are the same width. I first had the tall scoot 50 and it was great as keeping all the wind off your upper body. However it was as high as the top of helmet and I am 5'11. I am planning on using this in the winter and lowering it and attaching Laminar Lip wings to the lower edge to block the air on my hands. The tall scoot 50 did however picked up a little wind turbulence. I felt the wind some in handlebars-not dangerous just when gusty winds are a big truck flew by you felt it in the front end. I think when I lower it it should stop that. You do look through this windshield. The windshield on the first Pic is the scoot 66 and is lower than the 50. I look over the shield and I prefer that. You can raise it some to look through it if needed. This shield doesn't pick up much wind turbulence and feels great. Some air comes through the bottom section however you don't feel it on your body. I hope this helps. Both are fairly cheap around $100-$120 USD.
