You will need to mod up a cover for it if riding in the wet or rain. Mine came with one that worked ok in a small shower but in wet weather the scoot died and it couldnt go over 30 or past 1/2-3/4 throttle. I made a better cover up out the bottom of an old 2L plastic Coke bottle thats been fine since, even in real heavy rain.
Not ran mine for too long so not sure about how its goin to be in the cold over winter, guess i'll find out soon enough tho. :-\

lol that dr no joke going through my head now

Already have a spare 2 l bottle made up for it. I keep in the scoot for a rainy day.
I was thinking of cuting a hole in the bottom of the seat box and put a elbow like hose on it so it well be under my a_ _ on wet days .
-
To get the best filtering, most open air filters need filter oil, but that depends on your type of filter. :)

i had to do that to fit my polini filter, its a bit of a beasty filter and wouldnt fit via "conventional" means..so OUT came the saw and i got to work on the seat. just need to direct a hose from the outside and into the seat so the filter has some air getting to it.

Nice job I like that.
-
i had thought of doing that but dident know if would work as under the seat is warn air, not cold. let us know how it works for you.
-
Should work fine, if you use a hole-saw and cut a 50mm hole in front you can run some 50mm flexi hose into it from outside, maybe even cut another 50mm hole in black plastic under the front of the seat and run the hose from there.
-
takes up your storage under the seat but I would rather do that then have the storage.
I was mainly thinking of doing that only threw the winter when the weather is colder should help the scoot run and start better but i want mine a little more farther up under the seat.
-
yea only did that because i had no other choice. i will be running some hose into the seat so it has cool air at all times. i have adjusted the angle of the filter so it sits nearer the outside, runs fine at the moment and makes a hell of a noise ;D
-
sounds good. will have to order all my bits tomorrow lol get ready for the leo that should arive tomorrow or tuesday.

I would put my old belt back in again till the new one arrived. I always measure the new one against the old if its a brand i never used before, many come up short.
-
would love to but its to far gone. when it gets up to 10mph just slips and judders. will not go any where on full throtle.lol

well if that not bad enough i bought a gates belt for the a 50. £21.50. it is way to short. putting in high. so it trys to stall on pull of. when gets going it will reach 40 on flat( think at 40 belt is fully stretched) but its done my head in the last week so new belt has been ordered.narku
Kymco Agility RS 50cc HQ Drive Belt. hope this one works.

i have a naraku belt sitting in my parts box. the belt was a little longer and i could hear it slapping the inside of the cvt cover so i changed it straight back to the oem belt to avoid doing any damage.
probably will get another oem belt and see how i get on with it.

i would suppose it would be ok. when its colder the air is denser meaning more air (presumably) is going into the combustion chamber..dont know if because of the denser air you will need a bigger jet.....this is just speculation though havnt ran the Ag with the polini in the cold yet.
-
heres my open air filter, you have to bear with the vid, i fart arse around starting her up and opening the seat....but you do get to see some polini :D and hear it too ;D

-

yea she sounds quite because of my phone, she is in fact quite a lairy thing, there will be another vid soon once i get a new belt..my speed is really suffering at the moment 10mph should be 25 and 40 should be very VERY close to 50.

found out last week that when deresting a agility the belt will rub on the bendix. so it may not be the belt as such. was told that you have to take the bendix out when fully derestricting. had the same with my narkau belt wore it down a little where it was rubbing. took the bendix out, now not a problem. the belt is perfect. but have to start on kick start.

if anyone needs a cover for there air filter. Just use a peanut butter jar. works great.
