Introduction - New (to me) 2008 Kymco Agility 125 Owner from California!

[Fat Storm Trooper]

Hey everyone!

I just got a killer deal on a used 2008 Kymco Agility 125 up in Chico in Northern California. I'm a big dude (6' 4" around 300 pounds) and this thing holds up pretty damn well for my size. I'll get it up to around 55mph or so and it rides nice. I started customizing it a bit, I'll post up a little before pic and an after of what I've done so far. I just removed a couple things, oil change, Go-Pro mount, and Plasti Dipped the body matte white and de-badged it to give it that Storm Trooper look.

I have a couple questions, how do I re-jet the carb? Does it even help? I have a carb jetting kit with a #105, 110, 115, 120, 125. Also I wanted to know how easy it is to completely removing the air box and running a cone filter out the side and not riding in the rain. Are those eBay big bore kits worth it at all? How about those $60 gy6 performance exhaust systems from eBay? Well I look forward to learning more about my Kymco and customizing it to my liking!

When I first bought it:




After my mods/ Plasti Dip:

Sad to see this scooter desecrated into a pile of excrement.  Sounds like you are achieving the objectives of degrading the reliability and reducing the resale value of your "expendable toy".

Wow what an awkward passive aggressive hate post. Unfortunately this will probably lead me to searching out sources of better information while working on my scooter by people with passion and who actually work on their own scoots. Maybe I'll look for a GY6 specific forum or use /r/scooters on Reddit.

You're sad to see that I removed a cheap sticker and covered the scuffs/fading of the original 5 year old paint? Do you have any idea what Plasti Dip is? You know it is easily removable and does not harm the paint underneath? If your opinion of the big bore kits is negative or if you have personal experience I would have appreciated some actual advice. You know what's probably really going to make your blood boil? I'm working on putting a sound system with an external USB charged power source with iPod connect and I plan on running a mini shot of nitrous as well. Seems like I'll make more friends in a Honda Ruckus forum then here.

Hopefully there will be some other people with nicer things to say than this dick. Any proper forum would never allow negative posts on a simple introduction thread. Oh and yes this is an "expendable toy" I bought it for $460 USD, $9 on oil, $12 on plasti dip, and so far $2 on a 1/2 gallon of gas.

Hello Trooper, Welcome to the forum. Take no offense to that other post there are plenty of helpful folks here with advice and talk. The nice thing about buying a scoot that needs TLC is you can put your own stamp on it.

I agree with Big Blue. lots of decent people who are willing to help on this forum, congrats on the scooter and have fun.

Welcome!
Plastic dip - what is that suff?
Peel off spray paint?
Sure I could google it - and probably will - but just talking here.
It's what people do on a forum.
I gotta admire your style! 6'4" on a 125 - and we don't care what people think!
I'm just behind you - and sometimes wonder if I look like a grizzly on a grape - but I'm having too much fun on my scoot to give much of a darn! (grinning like a nut case inside my full face flip-up helmet!)
It coulda been a lot worse - I tried like heck to get my family and salesman to let me buy that pretty Honda Metropolitan 50cc ! ("Dumbo on a grape !") or the equally pretty Yamaha Vino 50cc.

Still, just as well they talked me out of it - by now I probably would have been run over by one of the thousands of F-150's flying around here.

Enjoy your scoot - ride safe and report back with updates and photos!

I plan on running a mini shot of nitrous . . . this is an "expendable toy"

Classic squid mentality . . how unfortunate (except for those waiting for organ donations)!

Did you just source Urban Dictionary? You're also assuming this is my only or first motorcycle and I have no idea how nitrous works. N20 is kinda my calling card, I have a 2000 Camaro SS that runs a direct port 200 hp shot, around 600 hp total, and a 72 Ford F100 with a FE 360 running a 75 wet plate shot. I've never ran N20 on any of my last Harley's or Scoots but I'll do it just like I did with my other rides, gradual and in safe conditions. Anyways you're officially my enemy on here you troll.

To everyone else: Thanks a bunch guys/ and gals! I do enjoy making each of my rides unique to fit my own style. And yes, lol being 6'4" 300 on this Scoot probably is a pretty hilarious sight to see. But like the guy above me I also have too much fun on my scooter to give a damn what anyone else thinks, and so far I've only got positive comments. (well besides ^^^ that guy)
