Ayyyyyyy.

Just picked up this sweet almost new (700km!) super 9 LC the other day.

I got her running no problem but the tachometer isn't working.

Is there a common failure point on these I should check? 

I am embarrassed to say out of the hundreds of scooters I have owned this is one of the only ones with a tach, so my experience is limited.

Thanks.

Nah, 110PSI is fine.

Its not great, but its not going to be a problem.

My guess is that some wire came unplugged somewhere. Possibly the ground.

Generally speaking when an electrical component dies on a scooter its not just like flipping a switch.

It usually peters out and dies over the course of a couple hundred miles.

Of course it does occasionally happen where an electrical component just spontaneously dies, but in your case I would put money on a wire or connection letting go somewhere.

Just stumbled on this forum. I have been a Kymco fan for years. I was a Kymco fan before I even knew what Kymco was, rocking those old Honda Elite engines to the limits.

I have revived about a dozen or so of the old ZX50, which I consider to be one of the best scooters ever made.  I have come across specimen with 20k+ on the odometer on the stock top end which is incredible for a 2 stroke 50 on a college campus. I had a blue ZX50 I used as a loaner for years. All my buddies just beat the crap out of it but it just would not give up on life.

All my ZXs kept count KM, does the Agility 125 count KM or miles?

Here is the BIG question. is 19,000 an absurd amount to see on an Agility 125 odometer? I pretty religiously stay away from 4 stroke 50cc bikes, I just don't see any benefit, but when you get to the bigger ccs I can see a case for going 4 stroke. What is the life expectancy of these Agility 125s? It is a 125cc 4 stroke engine made in China. In my exploits I have rarely seen 150cc GY6s with more than 7-8 thousand miles on them, but that might have more to do with the rest of the bike falling apart than the engine.

If its 11 thousand miles (19000 KM) I could see it still having some life in it. If its 19000 miles, it has to be finished I am thinking.

I am not looking for, "I know a guy who knows a guy who once saw an Agility 125 with a million miles on it". I am looking for average life expectancy.

If I can't get any answers here I will go check with my local Kymco dealer. I am lucky enough to have the best Kymco dealer in the nation on the other side of town.

Thanks for any help.
