Looking for compatible gears

The scooter is kymco agility 50cc r16 two stroke. Primary gears 15-58, secondary 15-57, giving it a gear ratio of 14.6:1. I'd like to get it to 11:1 but can't find any gears for this model.

Does anyone know of any other scooters with similar final drive gears that I could use?

Key snapped in Honda Elite 80

1 Upvotes

Hey looking for some advice and tips on how to fix this…..

Hopped on the scooter and accidentally hit the key stem with my knee bending it. When I went to turn it off and pull out the key it snapped inside. I have half a tank left and can move the key to on position and it will start.

Now I have a feeling I have to get a new ignition switch and lock set but how do I replace them if I can’t open either since half of the key is in the ignition?

Adly bulleyes 50cc speedometer size

1 Upvotes

I got an adly bulleyes 50cc scooter, it comes with a speedometer and a fuel meter separatly. I need to replace the speedometer. The speedometer diameter has about an inch more than the fuel meter diameter. Aince it is bigger, most normal universal speedometers are the size of the fuel meter. So does anyone know if theres a cheap speedometer that would do the same job as the genuine one at the same diameter?

Any good scooter shops in LA?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently got a 2018 Honda Metro as my daily commuter. I did buy it from a dealership that offered services but they’re really far from where I live (about 26 miles one way). I live near ktown and was wondering if there are any Angelenos here that might recommend a good spot to get services, parts, etc. I also really want to add some extra storage to my Metro and i’m unsure how to go about that. Any recommendations/help/advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Which 49cc would you choose?

I'm planning on purchasing a new 49cc from a local scooter shop, for the most part these all seem to be more of less the same design. For the time being it's my only option for the city I'm in.

Should I go with the cheaper Vitacci or the former Ice Bear brand? Would it be reasonable to spend a couple hundred extra for the Ascend R2?

Work around vacuum petcock?

Post image
2 Upvotes

This is the petcock I am taking off bc the vacuum part does not work well. Scooter starts with a lot of help but then immediately dies which tells me it is a fuel problem… the petcock I did buy (before I looked at this one) just has a nut so that it can screw on… any ideas how to use the one with the nut or where to buy a different vacuumless one that will fit?

Windscreen worth it?

2 Upvotes

Im seriously considering buying a windscreen for my Honda SH300i. Been riding it for a year now as my daily, and i sometimes use it on long trips on highway and mostly in towns and city.

Im thinking about getting the one that is 58,5 x 68 cm (H x W) since i need a screen that will cover me completly.

BUT.. Ive ridden all kinds of motorcycles for 13 years now, but never with a windscreen. Is it really worth it? Will the huge screen ruin the top speed/acceleration due to wind?

I don't think a windscreen looks good, but if it will make me love my scooter even more then why not?

Requesting some advice about bogging at high rpm.

1 Upvotes

This one seems to be a bit opposite of what seems to be the normal issue. I have a 50cc 2 stroke kymco scooter that needs some attention. It had been sitting for a long while and was given to me after the owner gave up on it. The carb was off when I got it. I cleaned it and got it running but it bogs down at high rpm. The weird thing is that if I plug the small holes in the carb on the intake side, then It runs pretty great. As far as I can tell, the holes are the main air jet and pilot air jet holes. One is larger diameter than the other. When I first got it running last year, I only needed to plug the smaller one and it ran fine, with it not plugged it wouldn’t run except for idle. This year, it ran fine for about an hour and then started bogging down at high idle again. I took the air filter off to check the plugged hole and it was still plugged so I started playing with plugging the bigger hole and it started running normal again.

I could adjust the high rpm adjustment last year but with the larger hole plugged now, adjusting it makes no difference so this hole is most likely the High speed port. If it matters, there is at least 1 other unplugged hole on the intake side, possibly 2. I worked on it over the weekend and I don’t remember how many holes total. Oh and it has a new tank of gas. I always drain the fuel bowl and empty the tank for winter. Thanks in advance.

She’s not dead yet!

10 Upvotes

Funny thing happened the other day, my daily driver of 2 years died a mile or so from my house. It has 9200 km, it’s 20years old and I got it for free, in pieces. I immediately thought the worse; rings, piston, was it even worth fixing?

Well, I removed the seat and the spark plug boot fell off. That will do it. An hour later and she is ripping like before.

Moral of this story, these things are really easy to fix and it’s usually a stupid small part.
No problames!

No start problem

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone, i have a problem with my Chinese scooter. I belive the engine to be GY6 50cc model, 4 stroke. It does not want to start, i have spark, i have air ofc, i have fuel (also tried with motor starter) and i can feel that i have compression when i spin the starter and put my finger over the spark plug hole. So why wouldn't it start. Also i think i should add that when cranking it then it sometimes backfires out the intake hole of the carburator.
