New guy got questions
« on: February 17, 2010, 05:17:53 PM »
Hi i'm looking to buy my first scooter in the next month and decide on the agility 50 and I just wanted to know if Im under 150 pounds if the scooter will go faster or doesn't that matter, and how much does cutting the cdi add speed wise.

Your weight wont' help out w/ top end, but cutting the cdi will give around 10mph. on the top. It's the best free thing you can do to improve your scoot.

Cvt tuning is pretty straight foward if you have some basic tools/ skills. Lighter rollers/sliders will get you up to speed quicker, and clutch springs will help get it to the ground If you spent 20-40 bucks you could have a much quicker scoot. Wordslinger likes the 4.5 gram rollers. Shaka has had great luck w/ dr.Pulley sliders. Malossi makes spring kits for your clutch that run around 10 bucks. Believe it or not TIRES make a huge differance in the overall performance of your scoot. I have had the oem Chen-shin, Top of the line Kenda's, and now Avon Viper stryke. The Avons rule. 100 bucks will get those. If you want to get into pipes/carbs/filters, I would suggest doing all of them together to avoid re-tuning for each  part.

Worst case, you just end up having to buy a de-restricted one. ;)

Gy-6 has them for around 130 bucks. http://gy6-performance.fr/cdi-kymco-agility-race-p-496.html    Suitai has them for around 50 bucks.  http://www.motorcycle-components.com/rootfiles/cdi.html   Or search the forum for cdi de-restrict for free. You need to know the wiring before we could say which method will work for you

I posted this link up on another thread earlier, but here you go.  http://enviromoto.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=5507526.  I'm not positive this one will work, but send Dr. Moto a PM and ask, he also gives discounts to forum members!
