Agility 125 / Hand Mitts that fit the A125?

« on: August 24, 2012, 05:17:03 PM »

I recently purchased these to use on my scooter this winter and they do not fit.

http://www.amazon.com/Kwik-Tek-Scooter-Hand-Mitts/dp/B0022ZJJSK

I was aware that they might not fit the A125 when I bought them (because this scooter doesn't have the handle bar tubing exposed, but is covered by the plastic housing) but they were cheap enough to try and I can use them on my mountain bike instead. The KwikTek scooter mitts I bought do fit the hand grips and the brakes levers but it doesn't allow for enough space to work the turn signals and horn, etc. and probably wouldn't allow enough space to wear a glove inside either.

Does anyone here have experience with a pair of scooter/motorcycle/ATV mitts that would fit an A125?

Thanks!

Agility 125 / Re: Agility 125 saddle bags

I purchased some saddle bags for my A125 a few months ago. I already have a top case but knew I wanted to be able to travel longer distances in all types of weather and camp with the scooter (I also do not own a car of any kind and sometimes need a way to carry more stuff) so I went for some large saddle bags. I cannot remember the brand name at the moment but they ran about $130.00, which isn't really necessary for someone just looking to carry some extra stuff on a daily commute or weekend ride.

I did a lot of research prior to buying them and was most concerned about he fit and how to attach them securely since the A125 doesn't have a metal frame, like a motorcycle, to attach it to. It seems like anything with the double Velcro strapping that is to lay across or under the seat will work and most saddle bags come with some sort of strap attachments or clip points that will let you fine tune the fit and secure them to the scooter.

The ones you included a link to look like they would work fine. The ones I have are larger and do not interfere with the tail lights at all, although I didn't believe it just looking them over in the store but the shop I purchased them at allowed me to put them on the scooter while shopping to make sure they fit before buying.

I have not used the saddle bags much since buying them since the weather is warm and I don't carry as much gear but I do intend to take some trips this fall and hope they work out as well as I think they will. I'll post about them when I have some more experience with them but as far as fit goes, I think most saddle bags will work on this scooter.

Thank you for the responses. I am trying to avoid going to my dealer but if the only solution is to do that then I will. Would they be replacing the tube inside the tire to one with a different shaped stem? Is there a tube inside the tire?

Agility 125 / Rear wheel tire inflation

I have a 2010 Agility 125 and had to put air in the tires for the first time this past weekend. The front tire presented no problems because the stem bends in an "L" shape which allows you to easily connect the air hose to the stem. but the way the wheel/rim (I'm not sure which word to use here) on the back tire is designed, (it sticks straight out like the stem on a bicycle) doesn't allow for enough space to get the air hose attached to the stem. Is there some sort of an "L" shaped adapter that you can buy to alleviate this problem? The components on my scooter as what came with it when I bought it new a few months ago.

I also need to change the oil in a few hundred miles. I located the bolt that needs to be removed to release the oil (under the scooter) but do not seem to have the correct size socket to loosen it. Does anyone one know what size I should buy?
