He already hung himself earlier Zombie, lifes too short. F*ck it.

And he told you already, if you dont have anything intelligent to say dont say anything at all. You're just being silly now ;D I want to be in captain sensibles scooter club and get all serious and pedantic. (Wow big word there,  what does that mean? ;D )

Blue i got your back buddy, me & you, just like butch and sundance  :D
..........wait a minute, they got shot to pieces at the end by the Bolivian Army  :'(

and that bike in the vid  is prolly faster than a stock A50 anyway zombie.

Hung myself? Nah, I have more important things to do other than arguing with two uneducated fools who can't understand a one part poised question or provide an answer that is even related to the topic at hand.

Not the way to make friends is it really? Maybe if you actually posed the question a little better then we would know wtf you were asking and would've been better able to answer it to your satisfaction? If you post a vague question you get vague answers.

Prolly not the best idea to start calling folk unintelligent? Hope you dont have any problems or other vague questions to ask as you may find you have little response if you feel the need to insult people on here, just sayin'. Glad youre finally happy  ::)


A two sentence poised question with a one part answer? Yea...

Responses such as "who cares if its legal make it go faster and injoy it lol. just dont get cought ..." and "If the speed limit is 30 and you go over 30, on a hill or not, youre getting done for speeding if you get caught ..." in no way contributes to the goal of the discussion and is a 'no sh**' response.

Can't say anything about SC but MN is probably not all that different. In MN most two wheeled vehicles with an engine displacement less than 50 cc can get moped plates and don't require a motorcycle endorsement on your drivers license. On the DMV website there is list of about ten scooters that have 49 cc displacement but still must be licensed as motorcycles and require a motorcycle drivers license. I don't know if the difference is speed or horsepower but the scooters that I'm familiar with that are on the list can all go over 35 mph.

There is not a speed limit per se for a scooter other than the posted limit for that road. Exceeding 30 down hill is okay, at least here in MN. If a cop sees you going over 30 (or 35 or whatever he feels is too fast) and the scoot has moped plates he can pull you over. There are two tickets you could get. If the scooter has been de-stricted or had a big bore kit installed or otherwise modified so as to not meet the state requirements for a moped license you can get a ticket for an improperly licensed vehicle (moped plates instead of motorcycle plates). If the scoot, as it existed when you were stopped, required a motorcycle drivers license, you could get a ticket for driving a motorcycle without a motorcycle license (assuming that you don't have a motorcycle license). If the scoot is stock, you're okay.

That being said, I've never seen or heard of a cop doing this. I know several guys with seriously hopped up 49 cc scoots and several with big bore kits in their (formerly) 49 cc machines. All these guys go too fast and generally ride like dicks. They don't seem to ever get stopped.

I've been riding motorcycles for nearly 40 years and bought my first scooter (Kymco agility 125) this past spring. One thing I noticed early on is that cops, at least in the twin cities, pretty much ignore scooters except for (maybe) parking violations.

Thank you for your reply, at least someone here is intelligent enough to provide an insightful response to my question.

No one has really answered my question, but oh well.  I'll have to ask my local officer.

My current residence is in South Carolina and the only law I can find dictating the speed of a two wheeled vehicle to be classified as a moped is that if it doesn't exceed 30 mph on level ground.  Now, I can't find anything stating it can't go over 30 down hill or about that there needs to be a speed regulator.  Does anyone have a better insight on this?

Well I ordered a smooth boss, I just hope there isn't another restriction.

Well I was assuming the washer was there to prevent direct contact of the bendix and casing when starting the scooter, so I left it on for safe measures.  I'm planning on removing it today though, as the sound is really bothering me.

Heh, sorry for the constant flow of questions, but I have another.

I have a rattling noise coming from my belt drive cover, so I opened it and discovered the noise was coming from a washer that sits on the shaft of the electric starter and the case cover.  It's quite annoying, so has anyone else had this problem and removed the washer without any problems?

What about just derestricting without any other mods? Would that damage my engine or any other component?

I'm currently looking at this one.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNRESTRICTED-VARIATOR-DRIVE-BOSS-KYMCO-Agility-50-Vitality-50-Sento-50-/260881239776?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3cbdbbcee0#ht_2136wt_1180

Would it fit?

Also, what is a good rated online store to buy a jet kit from or other components?  I'm located in the U.S.

Is there no set jet size that people use with the K&N filter or would it be better buying a large carburetor with the K&N filter?  There are some carburetors on Ebay for decent prices.

How would I go about increasing my jet size and ensuring I have the a50 engine?

Also, won't water get in the cold air filter when it rains?

Another question, would I see any increase in performance from an open air filter compared to stock?  If so, do you recommend any specific models?

I haven't been able to find any info on derestricting the 2012 Kymco Agility 50 nor about the CDI.  Does anyone know about this, as the 30 mph limit is killing me.
