What's this bolt in my exhaust for?
« on: March 21, 2020, 11:15:50 PM »
Title says it. Just curious what it is. Is it some sort of restrictor? New to scooters. My goals 45-50 Mph. I got a 2013 Kymco Agility 50. Made before July 2013. Any info on upgrades or dyi topics I'd love to read. Hope to be on the forum a while and glad you guys are here. Cheers.

Pretty sure it's not restricting anything , but looks like a port for testing ....something.  Emissions? Tuning?

That is an o2 sensor port. Also can be used to check exhaust backpressure when tuning mufflers.

like TBR125 said, I always assumed it was the spot where the o2 sensor would go on the fuel injected version of the bike. if you have a carb you get a plug.
