Agility 125 / Re: Sudden Load Exhaust

Yes, there is a hex-headed cap screw on a little pipe "extension" about three inches before the muffler starts. It is probably a standard metric size - my guess is 6mm. You could buy an assortment of screws at a hardware store cheap and see which one fits.

Agility 125 / Re: Fuel Gauge Sticking on E

Mario, thanks for your reply.

I just rode the scooter and the gauge did not stay unstuck. The needle is all over the place - sometimes correct (based on a visual check of the fuel) and sometimes creeping towards E. It seems to be slowly and intermittently unsticking.

By cleaning, do you mean the float and float arm or the electrical contacts on the sender unit?

Thanks,
Ed

Agility 125 / Re: Tire recommendation for Agility 125

I considered the City Grips. But the only rear I could find has a 62 load range, and I did not want this. Not everyone agrees, but I think 62 "reinforced" rear tire would ride harder than a 56 non-reinforced. I agree that the City Grips are nice, though.

Agility 125 / Tire recommendation for Agility 125
« on: July 07, 2011, 04:54:22 PM »
The used 2007 Agility I purchased a few months ago had approximately 16,000 km on it. It had the OE front tire, and a replacement Pirelli Diablo Scooter tire in the rear. I didn't like either, for many reasons ... and they didn't match, either visually or in handling characteristics.

I purchased a matched set of Pirelli SL26 tires, at the standard size: 120/70-12 in the front and 130/70-12 for the rear. The load range is 51 for the front and 56 for the rear (I did not want a 62 load range for the rear).  The scooter and me together (approx 385 lbs.) are well within the load limits for a 56/51 set.

The scooter has a much better ride and handles much better. They stick well also.

Best,
Ed

Agility 125 / Re: What oils do you guys use in your agility 125

I purchased a used 2007 Agility 125.  I made my first oil change with Shell Rotella T 15W-40, after doing some research. This is what the store where I purchased the scooter recommended also.

Agility 125 / Fuel Gauge Sticking on E
« on: July 07, 2011, 03:47:17 PM »
The fuel gauge on my 2007 Agility 125 seems to be sticking on E.

I filled it up last night while it was on the side stand. This morning, I noticed that the gauge was stuck in E. When I lean the scooter to the right, the needle moves up towards F, never quite reaching it, but when I straighten out the scooter, it goes back to E.

My thought is that the sender (float) is sticking in some way and that I have to take out the sender unit and look at it. On the other hand, it could theoretically be the gauge itself, but if it was the gauge, I don't think it would register at all.

UPDATE: I opened up the tank and jiggled the float, and pushed it down a few times with a long screwdriver. At first, the needle moved and went back to E. Then, after a few times, it went to F and stayed there. So I don't think it's the gauge. It is possible that I moved the float the wrong way when I inserted the yellow tube from my 2-gallon gasoline tank. It is also possible that the fuel sender is just sticking more than it should.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ed
