Agility 125 / New rider with new-to-me Agility 125
« on: August 22, 2017, 06:34:28 PM »
Hello All,
Just picked up a 2007 Agility 125 last week from the original owner. 4,300km. Seemingly well maintained. This is my very first two-wheeler, and I love it! I've already put almost 120 miles on it in less than a week, taking it on an 85 mile round trip. I lurked around my local dealers for the past several months looking for what I wanted, and this thing fit the bill perfectly. For $700, I didn't think I could go wrong.
I'm really getting comfortable with the way it handles. One question, that I'm sure has been asked an answered: I have a pretty strong shimmy at 45-50+ MPH. To me, and my automotive background, it feels like a tire is out of balance. Everything else is tight. Tires are original Cheng Shin (sp?) that are otherwise healthy (no dry-rot, plenty of tread), cheap as they are.
Tire(s) out of balance?
Thanks all! Looking forward to some great riding!
