im sure iv read it in the online manual but i scanned it today and couldnt find it :S i was sure i seen a page which said pressure from front and then ano for pressure at the back!
link to manual http://zmanual.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/kymco-draivers-manual-agility-50-kg-10.html (http://zmanual.blogspot.co.uk/2011/12/kymco-draivers-manual-agility-50-kg-10.html)

Cant just remember off hand but it tells you in the small Kymco owners manual book you got when you bought the scoot.
If i remember its about 23psi from and 25psi back in the book, i normally just do both tyres to 25psi.
If you dont have the owners manual then download the Workshop manual from this forum, its on here somewhere, i think i maybe even put one up a while ago. The workshop/service manual is good so even if you have the owners book its still worth downloading the workshop service manual.

...that should be between 35-40 psi.....
..i'm 230lbs...generally run 40-42...
..Avon Viper Strykes...
-
thats a big difference is it around 25psi or 35psi?
-
I stick with 30 to 35 psi gives a little more speed also.
-
manual says
1.5 kg/cm2 at front
2kg/cm2 at back
i found a converion guide on google http://www.microsolvtech.com/calculators_pres.asp#pres (http://www.microsolvtech.com/calculators_pres.asp#pres)
it says says
1.5kg/cm2 = 21.3 psi
2kg/cm2 = 28.4 psi
so is this correct? and if so wouldnt putting over 50% extra into front tyre be dangerous and 25% extra into back

I thought i had lost it and was just about to say i coud be wrong when i saw the post you put Gaza. I was pretty sure i did 25psi , thought the mANUAL SAID SOMETHING AROUND THERE.
i DID GET NEW TYRES LAST YEAR AND REMEMBER THE GUY THERE HAD INFLATED THEM TO 32PSI THOUGH ??? i JUST DEFLATED SOME OF THE AIR OUT, MIGHT GO UPPTO 30PSI NOW AND SEE HOW that feels tho.
:-[ Sorry 'bout the caps there, didnt realise, but im not re-typing it so there :P
-
the kind of tire and how wide they are might matter on how much air to put in theam.

This post will bring out the Flat Earthers... The TIRE has the inflation marked on the sidewall. The SCOOT has Nothing to do with inflation. The Manual states pressures for OEM tires. NOT after market. Avons run at 40psi, Chen Shins run at 25, Pirellis run at 38 ect. You have to adjust the pressures to what fits your style too. I have the same tire on both wheels, and run the front at 32, and the rear at 36. The front bites better, and the rear stays in contact better. 38 for both felt like solid rubber.
-
I better go pump up my Bridgestones then. Might even gain a little speed since im prob about 10psi under since i fitted them.
-
MPH, And MPG will improve. Tires are one of the biggest fuel thieves. If you really can't feel the difference in pressures just go with the tires label and Maintain that pressure.
-
...i run 35 on my front...40 in the rear...
..do go by the tire sidewaLL SPECS...THEN, IF YOU A BIG BOY LIKE ME, ADD 3-5 PSI...
...blue, lower tire pressures create lower speeds, relatively...

Well maybe thats where my lost 2-3mph' top end's been hiding then, im going to get pumping tomorrow ;D
50mph club here i come :D
-
when its cold outside and you need more rubber on the road go with less air and drive slow and easy.
more air for the days that stay worm. 5 to 10 psi over wont hurt. takes a lot more then that to say ..............whops to much bang.
-
I just went to the garage to pump mine up and saw on the sidewall it says max psi when cold is 25psi. Theyre Brigestone Mola's, pumped them up to 28psi anyway and i'll give that a go over the next couple of days and see how it feels to ride on.
-
I pump my tyres to 35psi front and 40psi rear i prefer them like that as there is less drag so better economy just be aware the more pressure the less tire surface makes contact with the road so may want to reduce pressure slightly in winter when the roads are more likely to be slippery...

25 is that any air in there they might roll right of the rim.

Thats what it says on the sidewall ???
-
Thats what it says on the sidewall ???
what size is the rim and tire.
-
12", front is 120, rear is 130. Bridgestone Molas ML50 tyres (tires).
See how it feels tomorrow going to work. I want to be sure i dont over inflate it and then lose grip in the rain

....wowww...that's lowest spec i ever heard of...

I know right. most tires need that much just so the bead well take on the rim.
-
..if i run an avon rear tire that low, my scoot would be revving high and running slow...
:-\
-
I Think I posted my Pirelli was flat. ZERO air, and I did not even notice. It did get squirrelly in a turn, and I thought maybe engine mounts. I leaned on the tire to pull, and found it had no air. These are some STIFF side walled tires.
-
On both my agilitys, there are a sticker just below the seat to the front, which sais how much air should be pumped into the tires when there are one or 2 riders. When reading this, it should be taken into consideration, that this bike is originally made for taiwanese people, who (like any other asian) is a little bit smaller than us western people, and usually weights around 50 kg. So if you are a strong man at 100 kg, pump the pressure for 2 riders. ;)
-
at 25 lb you can feel the dif then drive fast to go get air.
-
...those cheng shin oem tires were marginal, at best...
..tried kenda..(sucked)
..have one scoot with hidenaeu...they real good on dry pavement, but have slipped on wet ...
