Agility 125 / Re: electricity problems in kymco Agility 125

I do use a paper tissue when replacing bulbs,
So this is not the problem.
The fact that the front and rear light burned out on the same day makes me still think that it is electricity irregularity.
(I also contacted Kymco (using their contact form on their website) I let you know if any news)

Thanks for your answers

Well, the bulbs lasted for about 3 weeks (without too much riding) and burned again.
To resume the situation:
Regulator and battery were changed recently, ground connections were verified, voltage seems to be normal, but still bulbs (head and back) burn very often.

Any other ideas that may help ?
Is there any official Kymco service that may answer my questions ?

Hello Zombie
I looked at the regulator situated near the horn (pic attached).
There is a bundle of wires connecting to it by a connector, but I could not locate the ground.
Or maybe the bolt and nut that serve to attach the regulator to the frame serve also as ground ?
(if this is the case, will it be usefull to grind the paint in the place, to allow better contact ?)

thanks again
Amir

Hello Zombie
Once again I thank you for your quick response.
Regarding the ground connections:
I followed the green wire which connects to the battery.
It is connected to the frame (together with another wire) on the right side of the scooter not far from the motor.
The connection was well tightened.
Nevertheless, I disconnected it, grinded the black color on the place in order to expose the nude metal, and retightened it again.
I haven’t used the scooter since, so I can’t tell if it solved the problem.

Are there other ground points to check ?
 If yes, can you precise their location on the frame ?

Thanks
Amir

Hello
Here are my voltage readings results.

On the battery:
Engine off: 13v
Engine on- lights on - minimum idle : 14.1v
Engine on – lights on -  high idle: 14.6v

On the headlight – engine on -  lights on:
Min idle: 9.5v
High idle: 11.6v
(Readings on low or high light are practically the same)

I installed all new bulbs (head light, small front light, rear/brake light), they didn’t burned out during the test.
P.S.: just to be sure: the voltmeter is set on DC when reading the battery, and on AC when reading the headlamp

Thanks in advance
Amir

Agility 125 / electricity problems in kymco Agility 125

Hello
I have a Kymco agility 125 (year 2007, country: France) and I experience the following problems:
too often, lately, all bulbs burn out: especially the headlight (last one didn't last the day..) but also the medium light or rear light.
(The winkers and the break light are still ok )
At the garage they've changed recently the battery (which they suspected to be unstable, but I don't think so) and the regulator located behind the headlight (which itself burned out already 2 times).
That didn't solve the problem.
I also verified the fuses and the ground connection.
The garage told me that their knowledge doesn't go further then that (or in another words: get out of here, we are not ready to spend more time on your scooter)

Any ideas that help me ?
(It’s already a month that I use the scooter only during daylight...)

Thanks in advance
Amir
