I have a 2009 Kymco Agility 125 with right around 2000 km (1250 miles), and use it as my pit bike at the drag strip mainly. I had bought it at the beginning of 2018 with around 1700-1800 km on it and it ran beautifully for the first 2 months of the race season. One day at the track it decided to not start after already being ridden half of the day, and I went through and checked if it had compression, fuel and spark. Compression was fine, i cleaned the carb and what finally did the trick was replacing the spark plug. After that it rode fine again for a couple weeks and randomly wouldn't start one morning, so I replaced the spark plug again and it ran at my house, so I rode it down the driveway and back again and it just quit. I replaced the coil/wire, cleaned the carb again and even checked and adjusted the valves but nothing worked. So I let it sit for 2 months for the rest of my racing season (season goes from April to October roughly) and I had went out to put it away for winter and it started without zero issues and warmed right up... What could cause behavior like this and what should I replace next so it will be reliable at the race track for me? I'm wondering if anyone else has had experience with any of this, a couple things I'm thinking next is to replace the cdi and/or the auto choke? I'd like to keep cost down and not replace both though.

I had a similar type of issue with one of my Kymco's. It ran fine when it was cool, and once it warmed up it would not start. It ended up being the CDI. But before you run out and get a replacement CDI, are you checking for spark right after it stops running ?

+1 on what Gsx600 said. Also check the plug cap the spring could be weak and pops of and when you replace the plug you get it seated back right.

I have not checked for spark after it quit, it hasn’t done it to me in quite a while.. I’ll have to do that
