    x 2 you will love sliders.they keep the scoot rev up realy good.

sorry once again:(, and I see but what's the main difference between the sliders and pullers and which would be the better one to go with?

Don't sweat it.

First I would ask for a compression test to verify the condition of the cylinder, and head.
Second is to do a Valve adjustment. It is easy t do, and only takes 5 minutes once the plastics are removed. The lash is set to 0.4mm

Once you know this is all good get a set of lighter rollers (5,5gr) or 6-7gr Dr. Pulley sliders.
The final part is a 10.00 control spring that installs in the rear pulley. If you weigh around 150-160 get a 1500 rated spring if you are closer to 200lbs get a 2000 rated spring.

Rollers/sliders, and spring are less than 25 dollars for quality parts.

You will not gain any power but it will be delivered to the rear wheel better, and hills will not embarrass you any longer.

Now you also have to buy a leash for Tortoise. He's slow going but bites like hell!

Right I'm literally going to tell the guy in the garage all of this(more or less) tomorrow when I go and see him, I'm a few pounds under 200 so I'll get the 2000 rated spring, also I am from the UK so I'm assuming the parts wouldn't be much pricier than the american conversion, as the man orders from a catalogue and receives them within two days.
Also, rollers vs dr pulley sliders, which would you go with? Is there much difference
Oh yeah almost forgot, does a top box effect the speed of which your scooter will go at etc?

I posted this in the technical section as well but I am not entirely sure where the best place to post this so:

I've been riding around on my kymco agility 50 for the past few days, and I dread going up hills purely because I go very very slow up them. Down hill and straight roads are no problem but going up them is embarrassing to say the least.

I also have a top box on my moped so does that effect the speed in any way?

Is there anyway to increase the speed going up hills? I'm going to a moped garage in two days time (tuesday) to have a few things fixed but is there anything I should mention to him in particular, or too look at anything?

What can be done to improve it

p.s its an 2010 Agility 50 4 Stroke

What blue said.

You have to find the reason it fried. It's easy to replace the wiring but knowing what/why is the big deal here.

How handy are you w/ Car Stereos ect.?

gotcha, and I'm not too bad but do have a friend who works in a garage sorting out car steroes, so that could be an alternative once finding out what's fixed if the quote given by the garage sounds too pricey

Any wires that got burned can be replaced.just follow theam back to the wire harnes.also check your wires to make sure you dont have a bad ground.

I don't know too much about bikes so could you explain a little bit more please , also where would be the best place to buy spare wires and can they be attached yourself?

Hi, I'm new to these forums so please bare with me  ,

Today at around 10:00 a.m GMT/BST time, I purchased a 2010 Agility 50cc Scooter. The man who had sold me it was a nice guy, 54 years old and lots of experience in riding bikes on the road. He purchased it for commuting but he said he needed something more powerful as he has to go up hills a lot.

So basically my friend road it home for me as my provisional license has not arrived yet / haven't done my cbt. Everything was fine.
When checking the bike everything was fine too. Great panels for a 4 year old bike, no mods done to the bike (engine etc) so yeah it was well worth the £330 I paid, which he told me he originally paid £400 from the previous owner, which he had owned it for like a week, whilst renewing mot and tax for a whole year.

Now, I was playing with the bike a bit too much when I returned at my friends house in his garden. I was revving the bike unnecessary  but nothing stupid. I had been riding it around the block for a little bit as well.

I was revving the bike and it seemed as if smoke was coming out the exhaust but all seemed fine so we ignored it. A bit later we were going to go for a ride so I could get comfortable on the road and it wouldn't electric start, I would just hear a click (from what I remember). Instead I just kick started the bike and had no problems. My friend decided to look at the battery from underneath and had saw that one of the wires had burned / melted? and had become unattached, which caused the smoke from before, other than that the whole battery should be fine as all the indicators etc work. (if they are controlled by the battery).

So now what do I need to do? Do I need to buy a whole new battery or is it possible to buy battery wires?
