General Discussion / Kymco Grand Dink 125/Miler125--whats it worth?
« on: April 27, 2012, 05:07:16 PM »
Does anyone know how much a 2005 Grand Dink125/ Milner 125 is worth in UK £'s.

10,000 mls
Standard in red
Afew very light cosmetic scratches
Needs new tires f&r
6 months mot, no tax (sorn)

Rides spot on

I've a 100% standard & original Agility 50cc 2007. I was getting around 75/80mpg (UK), then I had a problem running & starting it. I carried out various checks, replaced the plug, cleaned the carb, jets, filters, fuel tank etc & set up the carb idle speed & fuel/air mixture.

Since this the scooter starts 1st time on the button, is quieter, smoother, is running great AND has just returned 90miles from £6 (UK) & theres still some left in the tank :-)

It looks like i'd get 100mpg so is this a record for a 50cc? What do you get from your scooter?

Edit;
Because I emptied & flushed my tank before putting the £6 in, i've decided to run it dry & to see exactly what i'll get. Theres plenty of fuel stations localy so it won't cause a problem & i've just been to town & back & now upto 98mpg :-). Surely though I can't get much more?
My car, before being laid up was averaging 28mpg so its a no brainer that the scoot wins hands down, especially when knocking about locally.

My Agility 50cc is great, brilliant even & its a 2007 model. Not sure about the 2012 model, but if its as good as mine your on a winner.

I can't believe it, since the £6.00 a UK gallon (don't know in $) I put in the empty tank last weekend my Agility is still running after already doing 9O miles :-)  which is more than previously.

I can hear theres still some fuel in there so it looks like around 100mpg is achievable, but i'll tank up today. I couldn't be happier after resolving my starting/running problem/s.

Will be fitting the new belt today which I hope will resolve the setting off & top speed slip.

Thanks for that, the one I was looking at is on eBay, search; Kymco Agility HQ 50cc belt

The one at £13.95, they also do a cheaper standard one at £8.95, both plus postage.
What do you think?

And yet another tuner is born.

Maybe your right as my fuel consumption has increased since, its running smoother & quieter than ever & is starting on the button 1st time :-)

Well i'm very pleased with myself, that kinda money is certainly better in my pocket atm :-)

I'm gonna order a new drive belt (the hevier duty one) ready for the future mods soon, then take it from there. Mines slipping when setting off & top speed.

Sounds like you got it, hopefully it stays good. No youre a proper scooter mechanic  :D

I was the same when i 1st got mine, scared to touch anything on  it myself, now i do everything i can. I think the only time i wpuld pay a garage would be after i had exhausted every possible thing i could myself now. Saved you a fortune too on labour costs.


Thats how I feel.
Well its cost me a spark plug & a tank of fuel = £10
The rest has been my time of which I don't mind as i've learn't alot in the process.

I can't imagine how much the bill would of been if I took it to a garage/dealer to sort out.
Perhaps they would of said I needed more parts? Perhaps they would of had to do the trial & error thing (like me) in finding the problem/s.

I don't know, any ideas?

Chicken!  :D

I was the same 1st time but it is easy. Honest.


Me too, but after that 1st time you realise its a walk in the park & after the 5th or 6th time you feel like its all you've ever done lol.

I posted a youtube link somewhere on my 'im desperate thread' after removing, it got me started in stripping the carb down cleaning jets & all.
The jets are a doddle, really!

Hurray, fantastic, brilliant, i'm very hsppy that i've sorted the problem/s & with the last 3 days the little agility is buzzing along great.
Wy i'm so happy is that i've carried out the work/checks myself which has given me confidence to tackle anything in the future, also it given me great satisfaction in being persistant & patient in working through the issues etc.

All is great & a BIG thanks to each & every one of you who posted your thoughts, views etc etc. I wouldn't of been able to do it without you :-)

Thats all great & plenty to think about in now & the future, thank you.

What does the boss do so I can understand why a smooth one is beneficial to the stock item.

On the belt, I think mine could be worn because I've noticed today I am getting slippage when pulling away at lights. Maybe ive not noticed this before because the engine has never run so smooth before, in the time ive had it anyway. It now feels not only much smoother but also quieter. I'll be checking the belt over the next few days.

I've done 3 seperate 20 min rides on it today & so far so good. It runnng very smooth, even at a low rpm idle, no dips or surges in power etc. Its also starting 1st time on the button. If it remains the same over the next few days then i'm thinking all is well, then its afew cheap but worthwhile jobs in the derestriction area :-)

Has anyone got any links for lighter weight variator weights, also the belts you mention. Whats this about removing the variator washer i see on youtube?

If my bike is still 100% fine in a few days i just want to do any mod that is either free or cheap to do. Funds arn't that good atm.

Is an after market air filter worth purchasing, if so what is recommended? I could remove the big air box I guess if I purchase one to go directly on the carb?

I've not looked as yet, but if my belt has been on from new & its on almost 10,000 mls, I guess it'll be worn & so be taking drive/power away?

What would happen if a drive belt actually snapped? Ouch!

New plug arrived today so fitted it & checked cables, which all seem fine.
Started up on the button, warmed up then adjusted idle speed & fuel/air mix.
Left for afew hours then started again on the button so went on 2x 30 min rides this evening & ALL seems good with engine smooth as :-)

I'll try tomorrow & if ok it looks like i've finally cracked it, fingers crossed.
