Scooters - 125 to 300 => Agility 125 => Topic started by: maximus404 on March 19, 2009, 01:21:51 AM

hey guys, i recently bought a used agility 125 from a guy in my area. the scooter was a salvage title but the thing runs extremely well. the outside looks like crap due to what looks like a front end collision with a post or something but as for the frame it looked unscathed. my question is that the scoot viers to the left when the brakes are applied. the scoot veirs to the left without doing anything but its drivable. i was wondering wht could cause this issue. any info would really help.
thanks

could be bent forks i rekon or loose head bearings

...If I ride with no hands (an act of which I dont condone)..Mine veers slightly to the left....I bought it new...other than that, it tracks straight, even under hard braking..

The frame may LOOK straight, but something IS bent. you can try to compensate by raising the right fork SLIGHTLY in the clamps. 1/4 inch is alot so i repeat SLIGHTLY. I do not want to give dangerous advice, but mine did the same (i could not let the bars go) I raised the right fork 3/16", and can stand no hands. carefull!

After the crash and scooter or motorcycle falling on one side, usually if the forks are not bent, it is the metal part that connects the forks that gets bent. It looks like a "triangle", I do not know what it's called in English and do not have manual at hands to check it out.

Triple tree. Could be that or more often the post through the neck. Some things can be compensated for to regain handling, but true it still it will not be perfect. like I said earlier BE CAREFULL! This is a time where smaller is better
