Agility 125 2006 not working? [SOLVED]
« on: March 29, 2016, 06:29:59 AM »
Hey y'all,

Strange thing happened when my bike just won't start? Was working the other day and now can't kick start?
I changed the spark plug brand new. Do I have to change the batter as well? I have a multimeter just that I don't know how to use it on the scooter batter?

Any ideas?

P.S My agility has just done over 30,000kms since I bought it. When do you change the battery?

Thanks

Guys I manged to learn how to use the multimeter to check the batter. It is showing 11.9v. I think it is suppose to be 12volts?

that's a little low for the battery, but you should still be able to kick start it. Why did you change the plug? Did it stop working after that?

Hey Jim, I thought I needed to change it so I did anyway. The old spark plug look really bad but yeah still can't kick start it even with the new spark plug. I've seen other scooters where they use the kick starter and it is way better than mine? The Kymco Agility 2006 is hard to use the kick starter :(

I also commented on another thread here where someone posted a battery charging stats: 12-13v = 100% .... 11.9v = 0%.
How do you charge the battery? How did my battery get to 0% charged 11.9v? I used the multimeter on another battery and it is dead as no reading at. So I tested it on a car battery and it was 12.5v which means the multimeter is pretty accurate.

I forgot to mention, I replace the headlight frame for another one from a used scooter. My old headlight didn't work properly before only the high beam. So I was using the high beam before until I got it replaced.

Charge a battery by putting a battery charger on it. Should be charged while riding machine. So maybe your rectifier is bad. First, remove battery and charge it. Second, take to Auto Zone and have them test it with LOAD TESTER. Then report back here.

Forgot to mention I already charged it to 100% close to 14volts on the multimeter. I went to start it and you can hear it but its not turning over? I am trying to locate the fuse but can't find it on the manual?

14 volts on a multimeter means next to nothing on a valid battery test. A load test is meaningful because you could have a cell that won't work under load.

Spoke to the mechanic. It would of been easier if someone told me to test it with the multimeter for a low reading?

I have it at 12.3v and when I start the bike it drops to 10v which means I need a new battery. I did mention "when do you change the battery"?

Thanks case close!

Well, the important thing is you got your scoot running and maybe you learned something.
