Nice bike!!

He's my baby but hes not so nice now. Spent nearly a yr building it up and tuning it in, had it running sweet and put 1400km's on it the last month or 2 then last week i hit sheet ice going to work and slid it along the road on its side  :'( I wasnt happy  :D






Took him to the my paint guy today and its going in on Monday to get the bumps hammered out and repainted. Ordered up new parts tjat broke so once i get it back i'll have it back looking nice again. Just a bummer i crashed so soon after getting it on the road. I swear it trying to kill me, we call him Vinnie, he's possessed  ;D

Yeah but we still keep on riding the evil bastards even so  :D

Think its like the old rodeo days, we're determined we're going to be the one who tames the beast  ;D

Mine like to try throw you off the back or go for a dance on white lines in the wet but i still love him  :-*

Looking for input. Steido, if you are here, thanks ahead of time. I've done the smooth boss, 5.5 rollers, performance cdi, bigger carb/air filter and a Leo Vince exhaust. I removed the whole air box assembly. I have a 2020 agility 50. About 1400 km on it. It rides like a champ. Fast and it is loud. Partly from the exhaust I think but also from air box removal. Not going to lie, I am a little paranoid that it is going to leave me stranded, but that's only from the sound.afraid the engine will go and I won't hear it. I don't run at full throttle too often, and change oil regularly with synthetic. What kind of life can I expect out of this agility, now that it's modified. Sorry for the basic questions but I am new to really understanding. Thanks for any help offered people!

Let's hope he stopped crashing....
He was last active 7 years ago.

Still in search of one answer. With others out there that have done mods similar to the ones I've done....how long did your scoot last? Is it still going strong? That's all I'm after here guys!
