Hello all,
It's been quite some time since I've posted here. I was pushing a SunL SL50QT that I had a 80cc BBK put on. Good times, but I decided to step up to something with more power, so I bought a Kymco Agility 125 (which I've nicknamed Metreaus).
I love this bike. 23, 140 km (as of this post) and it still starts right up. Rode it during the recent "Polar Vortex" and handled it's own like a king. Even with my 300+ lbs. butt, it still moves swiftly to 60mph (all parts are stock, PAIR/EGR system intact).
However, I'd like to find a 150-170cc engine that I could swap the original for. Why?
1. I don't want to make any mods to the original engine (as a precaution and to have a backup).
2. I'd like to have a standardized GY6 for parts commonality. Kymco-specific parts have been VERY tricky to find.
3. Experimental/learning curve purposes; I will have some time to burn to grow my skills in repairing/maintaining a scooter and wish to do so.
As for the engines, I've considered getting either a basic 150cc or the Scrappydog 170cc engine, but I'd like to know the specificatios of either so I know which parts I need to buy or avoid (if the engine already has those parts)...like the variator size, whether it has a performance head, etc. and which engine choice will be best. If possible, please include your current setup; this will help me figure out which parts I need to go after
NOTES:
I ride on roads with speed limits of 40+ regularly to get to/from work and everywhere else. Most of the roads I ride on have long stints between stoplights and midly steep grades.
I plan on getting an Ecotrans EFI kit for additional fuel savings.
I know this is mainly a Chinese-based GY6 forum, and that's why I've proposed the question here. The Kymco Forums usually focus on riding without modifications/performance parts.
