G'day all, as I have sold my zx50 I am now looking at buying another bike or scooter for commuting to work and back. I have not yet decided which way I will go yet. I do like the scooter as they are more practical with storage and the ability to carry gear with them. I would like to go as large as possible with keeping the flat floor. Without the flat floor it will lose the ability to carry larger items. I am also of the opinion that without the flat floor, I may as well buy a bike. From what I have seen anything over 125cc loses the flat floor. With the Agility 125, what can current owners tell me about them. What are they like for commuting, what sort of speeds are they capable of, what is the handling like, reliability, what is the storage like? With this one, I will not be doing any mods to the engine, but may play with roller weights and clutch springs in the distant future if I feel it is needed. The one I have seen advertised is an Agility RS125, do these have much floor space?
Any input is appreciated.
Sid.

This is really quite trivial, but while fitting the tacho to my ZX50 today I had to take the front panel off to route the wire down to the coil. While feeding the wire I noticed two wires on the scoot were rubbing on each other. Though they were not touching the frame and risking an earth short, they had worn through the insulation on one wire and almost through the other. I put some 3mm heatshrink over them for insulation and tied together to stop further rubbing. As I already had a new regulator that I bought a couple of weeks ago, I decide to fit it while I had the access, now it seems that the headlight doesn't flicker with the indicators. I thought that when a regulator died it would just be a case of now it works and now it doesn't. I am about to go out on the scoot in a few minutes so will see if the light is any better. I thought the headlight flicking with the indicators was from a weak battery.
A bit of useless info, but when working on your scoot, have a quick look at any wires, you may prevent a breakdown and save yourself some money, frustration and a scoot that won't go when you most need it.

G'day all, some time ago someone posted a thread about drive belt sizes. I don't remember who it was, or what section it was in.
I am in need of a new belt, I have a 729-17.7-30 coming from scrappydog scooters, I also have a 732-18.5-8 coming from Dayco. I don't know whether these will fit, but I have seen 743 advertised for the ZX50. The belt that is on mine now measures 720mm long. This is the genuine belt, part no. 23100-KCX-9000.
When I rang a dealer in Adelaide today asking for a belt for the ZX50, he said he had one in stock, but when he mentioned the part no.
23100-KEB7-9000 I mentioned the wrong part no. and he had a look and found the 23100-KCX-9000 and compared them . According to this fellow, the KEB7 supersedes the KCX.
I got onto Stadium yamaha website and looked through the various models, it seems that the ZX50 is the only one to use the 23100-KCX-9000 belt
The following models use a 23100-KEB7-900:
Agility 50
Vitality 50 4T
Super 9 a/c 2007

G'day all, I have been at it again. Have managed to get some money together and buy some more bits for the scoot. I am still going to keep my exhaust, for now, but I have just fitted a new variator as the slides in the old one were worn. I have bought a new cylinder kit, 47mm and a 44mm crankshaft. Once I make up a crank puller I will strip the engine and see how this new gear goes together. Unfortunately I bought a cylinder kit that was made in China, so I may have made a mistake already, but will remain optimistic. With my previous crankcase work it should be ok. Hopefully.
cheers,

So I went for a ride yesterday, it was a nice day for it so I took the camera. I must get my act together and get a camera I can video on the bike with. The route i took coming home is a little longer than the straight through main road, but when you see the pics, you will see why it is worth it. in all honesty, the pics really don't do it justice, if I can get some video, that would show how nice it is. Obviously, I didn't do this ride on the scooter, I took the GS.
The first couple pics are from the Port Germain Gorge. The original road was put through here in 1879, for grain from the eastern side to be carted to the Pt. Germain jetty for loading onto boats.

Kymco speedos seem to be quite optimistic. When I held my GPS unit on a ride, 70kmh indicated was 61 by the GPS, 60 was 56.
So I went and bought a bicycle computer to put on the ZX. Now, I have rolled out the wheel and come up with 1422mm. The speedo unit I bought stated as being for 20" to 27" wheels. I put in my circumfrence and this speedo worked Quite well, it appeared to be in line with what I got with the GPS.
BUT BUT BUT,
81.9kmh, she dies, goes backward, 79 75 69 57 then hovers around until I start to slow down. This unit is suposed to go up to 99.9 kmh or 99.9 mph. My thinking was that the wheel is only 12" diameter, so maybe it is too many rpm for the little computer to cope with, but if so, what about 90mph, I thought maybe too much clearance between the magnet and pickup, so I closed that up to as close as I can safely, still the same.
Anyone have any ideas, or should I just accept it as a dud and buy a different brand? Not a big issue, just an annoying curiosity.

G'day All,
I recently ordered a cdi and it turned up today.... but, the wiring is different.
Mine has two plugs and the new unit has only one with 5 wires. My original unit has 6 wires between the two plugs, but the light green one can be discounted because it is for the rev limiter.
I am wondering if anyone can help with how to connect it up. The wire descriptions are below.
Stock CDI

main plug
green
black/yellow
blue/yellow

Second plug
black/white
black/red

New CDI
red
yellow
black
green
blue
