Oh, I forgot !
I also mounted a top box, spot lights, a lowish high screen, bigger mirrors, mirror extention brackets, cross bar for a phone holder, phone holder, and a smallish bag between my feet on the Agility.
I've also bought a light kit for the top box but the kit still needs to get installed.
I think these components will also get more expensive and some items might not even be available locally in the near future.
I haven't made calculations, but I think the total costs of all assesories on my Agility probably matches the initially price I've paid for the Agility. This does not bother me - I've bought the Agility at a very good price. Should I decide to sell, I think I should still get my money back.

......... I know there is a reusable filter but i am afraid maybe the thread is damaged inside so.. what to do leave it like this. This is not cause engine failure??

I have no knowledge about Downtown models but you are correct - if the thread is damaged at the inside and you manage to remove that nut you will probably face a bigger problem.

I assume the Downtown models have onother drain plug like the other models and you always use the other plug to drain the oil during oil changes.

I never found any dirt stuck at my scooters' screen filters and I've never seen any comments from anyone who ever found any dirt at those filters.

The purpose of the screen filters is to prevent any bigger pieces of engine components getting sucked into the oil pump - causing damage to the oil pump. Any bigger pieces of engine material will be sitting at the outside of the filter mesh (between the bolt and the mesh).

If you use another bolt to drain oil during oil changes I would not worry about removing the damaged bolt and I would rather not try to remove it.

Instead of trying to remove that bolt I would rather drain the oil by removing the other drain plug (if the scooter has another drain plug), put the drain plug back in place, and use Kreosene instead of oil to fill up again. DO NOT START THE ENGINE - just "shake" the scooter a couple of times to the left and right. The kreosene should "wash" off the dirt (if any) from the filter mesh.
Then remove the other drain plug again, and drain the kreosene properly. Just make sure there is no kreosene left in the engine.
Then put the plug back in place again, and and fill up with engine oil.

I have done this in the past to my first Agility when I've had problems with the original nut at the mesh filter. I've ordered a new nut afterwards.

My scooters and motorcycle also get parked indoors but I use the scooters to commute to work. Unfortunately there is no indoor or under cover parking for the scooters at work and I don’t like exposing the scoots to the sun and other weather conditions all day long.

The Silverwing’s cover get stored in the top box but the Agility’s top box is too small - the cover get strapped to the rear end of the seat.

Good day everyone ,

Since the tariffs started kicking in I started wondering whether it might be better to start ordering components like tires, cvt belts, some electric components etc. sooner than later ?
I could be wrong but I think chances that suitable scooter tires, CVT belts, etc. will ever be manufactred in the US are very slim. The reason being - I think the demand for scooters and scooter parts in the US is way to low to insure that manufacturers in the US will get involved in manufacturing scooter parts.

Also - I did some reading elsewhere which indicated that Chinese supplyers are currently dumping shipments which were on it's way to the US in the sea - and they have stopped loading shipments to the US because they recon their components will be so expensive, nobody will buy it.
I am not sure if this is true but if so - I started wondering whether there might be a shortage of tires, CVT belts, etc somewhere in future.

Maybe it might be better to order some components now before suppliers start running out of stock ?

Michelin CityGrip wil be a very good  choice but I’ve actually bought an extra set of rims for my Agility, as well as as a set of dual purpose  /“knobbies” for exploring backroads in our area.

I did some reading elsewhere and someone has mentioned that the dual purpuse tires at one of his two Agilities offers a better grip on all road conditions.

The tires on my Agility were still in almost new condition and it would be total sin just to replace it. Therefore I decided to buy the extra rims. The knobbies still need to be mounted.

I am not bothered that much about mileage on tires any longer. If the knobbies do not last I can still put the original rims and tires back in place. In the meanwhile I should be able to discover the scenery at the backroads with confidence.

It all depends on riding conditions. My Boulevard is more stable in strong wind so I usually use the Boulevard on a windy day.
I enjoy the Silverwing  in general and I love the Agility, so I find it difficult to say what I actually prefer.
I’ve spent endless hours riding a bicycle when I was a child and I guess anything with handlebars will keep me happy. Even a bicycle.

@scooterfan,
could be off, but did you check your carbs float level?
Sometimes a too low floater causes this enrichment on fuel and a soaked sparkplug.

Yes, I did. The float level is exactly the same as indicated at the Service Manual.

When I initially brought the Agility home I actually layed it down on it’s side top of a matress on a trailer. According to what I’ve read that was probably a mistake - the Evap canister probably got flooded when the scoot was lying on it’s side.

I hope toget this sorted  when the weather start getting better.
