Agility 125 / Re: New to me kymco 125.
« on: May 10, 2017, 04:11:14 PM »
I agree it is a scam.

Actually here in Kansas u can't ride a motorized bicycle on the road legally.  Not unless the bicycle was built that way like a solex.  So you can't get a small motor kit and throw it on a bicycle and ride it on the street.  Why?

Because you can't control it, tax it, and have power over it.

General Discussion / Re: 4 Quick Mods Transformed my Agility 50

I did all this stuff on all kinds of different scooters.  Spree, elite, zuma, etc.

Then i bought a 125.  Price diff between the 50 and the 125 is about the same or less than people spend modifying their 50 to go faster.

My 125 went almost 60 mph earlier today and goes 45 up that steep hill into the wind.

No more 50s, im just getting a motorcycle license.

I'm looking forward to warmer weather in Wichita, Ks.  Been rainy and windy for weeks.

I think technology and manufacturing have come a long ways.  Even the chinese stuff these days can be very good quality and if you get through the break in period and so forth and have a warranty, the 125 should serve well.

There are some small towns and back roads and we live pretty close to Derby, I could see me and the wife taking a short trip somewhere on this scoot, im sure it will do at least 45 mphs with 2 of us.

I bought a cheat sheet online for kansas motorcycle test and doing some free online tests and watching youtube videos of the driving portion.

Been riding scooters 30 years this one is only a little faster and otherwise no different.

Agility 125 / New to me kymco 125.
« on: April 01, 2017, 06:53:28 PM »
I have owned a lot of scooters and recently traded in my kymco compagno 50i for this new agility 125.

I have never owned a 125 cc scooter before and this one certainly has much more pep than my 50i.

It reminds me of some of my 50 cc 2 stroke scoots for power and the overall impression reminds me the most of my honda elite sr.

Build quality is not the best but good enough.  The motor is just awesome.  And the size and ride are quite good.

I think i paid 2100 bucks for this thing brand new and it comes with a 2 year warranty. 

I don't have a motorcycle endorsement but im taking practice written tests and studying the manouvers you have to do here in usa for the motorcycle driving test. 

If i could go back in time to my old self and give myself one piece of advice it would be to buy a 125 cc scooter even though it is just for in town use. 

Also i wish that you did not need a motorcycle license for a scooter less than 130 ccs and that they really did restrict scooters to say 45 mph not 30.  Just imagine how much safer in traffic all scooter riders would be if they could keep up with cars and climb hills.

It worked out.  Long and short of it was-- I was very nice and polite and the tag guy gave me the benefit of the doubt and tagged it moped.

And the saga continues.  I got my paperwork and it says right on it 3.6 bhp, and 3.5 is moped in ks and 3.6 is motorcycle.

Dealer typed me out letter saying it was factory restricted to 30 mph if that doesn't work i have to get motorcycle license.

Dealer told me if it is a motorcycle they will help me make it go as fast as possible.  That is pretty cool at least.

So I will keep posted as to what can be done etc.  He said the fuel injector might be programmable for one thing.

Thanks man for all the help.  Appreciate all the replies.  I did ask kymco to call me back and my service dept at dealer to figure out how to make it faster.  They never got back to me and wanted like 80 bucks for 10 minutes work.  Did it myself, learned, and plan on trying to do my own maintenance, except maybe let them do the brakes.

I would recommend this scooter to anyone who wants a moped legal scooter in kansas since the honda mets and ruckus are not restricted but tagged as motorcycle.

But for the money difference I think a used carb type kymco might be better fit for most-- i just wanted fuel injection so i would avoid screwing with carbs and for easy starts.

Total mods-- replaced variator drive boss face from restricted to smooth-- 7 bucks shipped, removed screw on throttle free, and replaced stock 7 gram rollers with 6 gram sliders-- 23 bucks shipped-- total cost to de-restrict 30 bucks-- well ok, 45 bucks for an electric impact and 17mm impact socket.-- 75 bucks.  Still cheaper than one service from dealer and now have my own tools.

I actually test drove it just now-- 23 degrees lol. 

I let the engine warm up and drove about 5 miles and got a cup of coffee and warmed up.  Then drove it around some more and went home.

With the 6 gram sliders on the way back I was getting about 32-35 on flats, slowing down to 32 or 30 on bigger hills, and about 35 going down.  I think the fuel injector is smart enough to rev limit, probably about 7500 rpm since the specs say best power is at 7500 rpm.  With the 7 gram stock rollers it would go 37 or a little faster downhill but it was slow as a dog to accelerate and 28 on hills.  I'm really super happy with the pep and acceleration of it with these 6 gram sliders and I plan on leaving it this way for awhile.  I still didn't air up the tires and they are probably 21 and 28 front rear since I never messed with that.  When it warms up I will probably go like 32 psi on front and 35 psi on rear and see how they do.  Remember whole bike now has 59 miles on it.  After a couple hundred miles and warmer weather I bet it really handles its own in 30-35 mph traffic.

I'm like 208 pounds and its cold as hell out here so all things considered I'm really super happy with the way it is riding. 

I didn't use any locktite but I hit it a few extra times putting it back on with the electric impact.  Somewhere I read it spins the opposite direction from the direction the nut tightens so I hope it will stay on there.  Stock it had no locktite on it.

Also mileage seems extreme, probably in the 100 mpg range.

Well I picked up an electric impact gun for 40 bucks so i wouldn't have to rely on my roommate.  Took off the variator and took out the old rollers which weighed 7 grams on my food scale and replaced them with 6 gram sliders.

Will have to wait until it is a bit warmer to find out how it worked.  Everything seemed fine running on the stand in the garage.

I think the 7 gram rollers was rev limiting me and hopefully I will see more revs with the 6 gram sliders.

Maybe since its cold and new scoot with 40 miles it is a bit slow and will speed up to 35-40.

I just don't imagine the non-restricted 50is act like this.  With smooth boss and no throttle screw it struggles to go over 30 mph.  It seems to have less acceleration than with the restricted boss.  Basically if there is no cdi limiting or fuel injector limiting, i need to find a way to get more power. 

If you went to buy an unrestricted one of these and it acted like this you would not buy it.

They even advertise this as "Motivated by an air-cooled 49.5cc engine that delivers enough power to safely traverse the surface streets of any community", well in my community it struggles to go up hills at 28 mph and pisses off the cars behind me.

Can this be used to de-restrict a fuel injector?  Just curious, I suspect somehow my fuel injector is limited on my kymco 50i

I'm 208 pounds myself.  It was not wanting to go faster than 28 at first on flat but I think it loosened up.  I'm just gonna ride it awhile and go from there.

Basically as it stands now it will get to 30 mph, sort of slowly.  It struggles to go faster than 30 and will go 35-37 mph if you go downhill and then it seems to be able to maintain faster than 30 mph speed but it needs to be going downhill first.  I'm wondering if there are any other restrictions on the scooter other than the throttle screw and the drive face boss.
