Why would you want to unbalance the rotational dynamics of the crankshaft assembly and degrade bearing life?

Why did you not initially select a scooter with a suitable engine size for your performance criteria?

Why have you not taken the initiative to review previous discussions on this topic?

why would you assume that I didn't look it up and not find anything, why wouldn't you think that I've heard good things about it from other sources, and why would you take such an adversarial tone with a new member? hmmmm, personal issues I suppose... (fyi- got a great deal on a limited budget with this scoot, and for the most part is fine, just up the mountain once a month or so is sketchy- if you're really just curious, excuse MY tone... haha...)

P.S. Since this last post, I went through the bike and tuned it up, etc... valves were off and it is runs much better now, 65 mph (scoot speedo, actually less), probably good enough for now. will go up the mountain soon, see how it goes now. but I did read on a website of people doing BBK to get to 170cc, with great results, whether they still run, I don't know!

I have to agree with the OP, the tone of this response was a bit unnecessary.

Maybe the OP liked the Agility 125's styling over the other Kymco models. It'd also be nice to know what dealer in the U.S. (in the OP's area specifically) sells the Agility 150 or 200 models to begin with because that'd probably change this discussion entirely.

There are better ways of answering the OP's question. Directly linking to the threads would've sufficed just fine.
