And obvious, yet not-that-funny solution: sell it and buy Agility 125.

I get it, yet, when I think about performance, Harley is not exactly the first thing on my mind. >:)

Well, maybe I will make a lot of people angry, but I would rather drive a good 2stroke 50 cc scooter than any custom bike. :)
For me it is either scooter or naked/sport bike. Do not care at all about enduro, touring, cross or customs.

Post by: wordslinger on August 17, 2009, 07:27:04 PM: ...most of the harley riders that I meet on my usual ride to work and back give me the "down-finger wave"..now, since I've been riding this thing for nearly 2 years..however 95% of the rest of them I meet act like they don't even know I'm there..lol...

..I usually ride with my feet on the back foot-rests, in a kinda "sport-bike" posture..and I particularly enjoy watching them start the wave...then realize that I'm on a scooter...and they quickly pull their hand back, or act like they're scratchin' their leg...it's so funny...

peace

Post by: jbcinzio on June 11, 2010, 02:00:39 PM: Hey guys,
I just bought my first Kymco.... a 50cc 4-stroke "Like 50" model in black.
Just had a question or two.
1/ what is my scoot called in other markets Overseas... I'm in Australia and here it's a "Like 50".
2/ is 2T two-stroke and 4T a 4 stroke?
3/Where the hell can I get a CDI box for this thing????

I hope someone has the answers! ???

Thanks, Josh.

Post by: art on June 11, 2010, 02:34:36 PM: Hey This threads a little old You could probably get quite a bit of info in the super 8 and agility sec.2t is 2 stroke and 4t 4 stroke.I have not seen the like 4t here in the states.Most kymco 50 4t are based off the same motor,just body and seat changes.If you look around a bit here you may be able to do it your self (the cdi) once you find it ;D.I'm not familiur with the 4t's,I,m sure someone here will help.Good luck.P.S.Welcome aboard

Post by: zombie on June 11, 2010, 07:38:39 PM: Hey jbcinzio, We'll get you rocking. What color are the wires to your cdi? The like is sold as a LIKE here also. The engine is the same as the people 50, I would think the cdi is the same also but the wire colors will help to see that. Welcome to the forum too!
Title: Re: how to make a Kymco 50cc go faster
Post by: jbcinzio on June 12, 2010, 02:22:28 PM: Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

The workshop manual for the Like504T says the wire colours are as follows:

Blue/ Yellow
Black/Blue
Violet/ Black
Green
Violet/Red
Black / Blue
Green/ Black

[/quote i have just bought an agility 50 2007.max speed 30 mph.bought a cdi,unrestricted from scooter assassins on the web,plus a pancake air filter and a main jety for the carb but this was wrong.the 2 fixes cost about Â£40 and now it does 42mph.takes about 2 weeks for parts to come from tiawan but well worth it

Post by: streido on June 06, 2011, 10:24:45 PM: I buy stuff from scooter assassins too, but like Boxalot says, the waiting time for delivery is soooooo long. I ordered a torque spring about 10 days ago and i still dont have it :(

Parts are good and the prices are cheap too, ive been happy so far, its just planning ahead so your not left without a scoot if its a bit you need to ride. Ebay has some good parts also from china etc if its an unrestricted cdi you need, i got one for my old peugeot speedfight for under Â£10!
