Agility 125 / Re: Fuel Gauge.. always full?
« on: October 22, 2012, 11:48:24 PM »
Thanks for the heads up guys, just needed confirmation that I'm not crazy. I'll keep a mental note "if needle moves, go get fuel" on top of marking down mileage upon fill up.

About halfway through a tank with some seafoam in it, already can tell she's running a little smoother.

Agility 125 / Fuel Gauge.. always full?
« on: October 15, 2012, 09:20:47 PM »
Put about 50 miles on the 125 I just purchased, and the needle didn't seem to budge at all. I've done some searching and saw that people have had issues with the gauge being inaccurate, but in this case I'm guessing there might be an issue with the sending unit (if it works the same as a car).

I know these things get sick MPG, but this isn't right is it?

+1 for this fix.

Just bought an Agility 125 and it was having this surging/jerking issue. Did essentially what is a scooter brakestand, took probably 3-4 tries but the issue has now gone away. Pretty awesome, I was able to negotiate a pretty good price for the machine from the seller thinking that this could have been an expensive repair.

Kymco Forum to the rescue!

Newb question... why is this thing so hard to move in reverse? I have to load her in and out of my garage and it feels like I'm trying to pull out a 500 lb bike.

I actually just bought an Agility 125 and the guy had fabbed one himself out of fiberglass and it looked awesome. His wife was riding the scoot and needed a different sized seat, but I wanted the stock one. He ended up keeping it, I guess to sell it on eBay or something. If you're interested, I could probably give you his email address and he can send you the details.

Thanks guys. This isn't going to be a commuter scoot, more along the lines of a go getter, short trip scoot. If she gets more than 500 miles a year I'd be surprised. I will plan on taking a good solid look around the machine this weekend and see what I come up with! I figured at $700 and the engine isn't destroyed, it was a deal I couldn't pass up.

Proud new owner!

Rode her home, nice little 6 mile journey and she performed great. Look forward to seeing you guys around on the boards, as I know I will have plenty of questions.

I'm a car guy and never had to deal with a CVT. Guessing I pop open the casing and just give it a good shot with some compressed air?

Yeah, I didn't think that sounded like much, especially on a GY6 motor. I'll put my offer in on the scoot and you guys will be hearing more from me in here as I ask a bunch of Kymco newb questions!  ;D

Ooooops! Fairly high mileage, I'm assuming the odometer is in KM which says 10k kilometers, so about 6k miles. I've been told with proper maintenance these things can last a long time, and there has already been one motor refresh (valves, etc) so I'm not worried much about the motor... it seemed to be in good working order, sounded good, no leaks, didn't look to be burning oil or smoking.

As for the kick I mentioned, yes its from a dead stop... as soon as the scoot starts rolling and the clutch engages for the first time, there is a pretty noticeable kick/jerk and then it's all smooth sailing after that. Only happens from a dead stop.

$700 seems like a decent deal, from what I've seen the clutch spring is an easy fix (<$50), belt drive a little more pricy ($100) but still not anything that would sink me.

Machine is in pretty good condition. Motor kicks up fine cold, small issue with a stall out when cold but once the machine is warm no problems whatsoever. Only noticeable issue is a pretty tough kick in the shift getting out of first, seems like maybe a drive belt or clutch spring issue? Rides smooth after that. I'm assuming to address that issue at most would run $100 or so?

I'm a Kymco newb but really interested in this particular scoot. Any feedback?
