Agility 50 / Re: 2006 agility kick start problem/flat battery
« on: September 09, 2012, 10:45:38 PM »

I do know the answer to this one...
Most scooters have a DC CDI, Agility 50's use an AC CDI.
Battery power is needed to kick start.
I checked my old scoot years ago by disconnecting the battery.
It would not start.

My old battery lasted right up until now.
Scoot was always kept outside.
I would bring the battery in for the winter, and charge it just once in the middle of winter.

You may be able to get a number "4" battery at Walmart...I'm sure it would work. But the Agility I think is a number 5 a larger and better size...and should be strong for years.

Agility 50 / New 2013 Agility 50 not as fast as old.....

I owned a 2006 agility 50 and did the boss, and the CDI thing. After many months the dealer replaced the carburetor. I mentioned I wanted more speed and it was a great scoot. Dealer would never tell me what they did. Power was way up, and gas mileage shot up about 125 mpg....that's adjusted from kilometers. I ran for six years with over 10,000 kilometers on the odometer things were starting to fail. Blinkers, hard starting, front shocks were weak...saddle was thin. I decided to trade it in for a new 2013. I asked the dealer for the non-restricted boss and carb jet that comes with each new Kymco scooter. They gave it to me.
On my new bike I removed the three main restrictions..only had an issue with the CDI....I cut and cut and did not find the wire. I replaced with an adjustable CDI from EBay. While there is no rev limiter it doesn't rev as much as my old scooter. I have a question to other owners....I remember I brought the idle speed up and had another adjustment opposite the idle which I thought was a top speed adjustment. My new scoot has only an idle adjustment and turn the throttle speed to max....it's metal to metal stop on the throttle cable down near the carb. Seems different  than it was. Also my old scoot would make this really nice "singing" sound when it ran at top speed...I called it my turbo. I well knew it wasn't.
Driving at 45 mph on my old scoot would not slow down on minor uphill changes as long I didn't let off the throttle.
I will push the dealer to look up the changes on my single shop visit on my old scoot.

Thanks, See you on the road....
