Super 9 / Re: 2005 Super 9 LC
« on: March 03, 2013, 02:18:30 PM »
  I've found that rollers that are flat spotted can cause that,and you may want to step up to a 1500 rpm torque spring.That will help hill climbing and downshifting when accelerating from an rpm below the powerband (say around 8000 rpm). The rollers that come with the Technigas pipe are crap.Get a good set of rollers and go from there,I would start somewhere in the 6.5 gram weight area,but you may need to go lower depending on rpm's.

Super 9 / Re: Price check on 04' super nine?

  Thanks for the reply.That's about what I was expecting.I already have a super nine now but it's getting a lot of miles on it now so I figure having a backup can't be a bad thing.I love mine and I know you won't be able to get any like these anymore.

 Tel me what you think guys,I can't find any locally so I found one for $1200 shipped to me.It's Red and has 5500 kilometers,and the body has a few minor scratches but otherwise looks pristine.....what say you? Good deal or.....?

  The drive boss unrestricted has no shoulder on it,in other words its the same diameter all the way across it's entire length.

Super 9 / Re: So,I changed the clutch springs...*UPDATE*
« on: July 24, 2012, 09:40:04 AM »
I really don't need the top end so I may not do the agility pulley.I've already been pulled over several times,and have been very lucky,but next time I may not be.However I'm still getting the lag at takeoff,so the question is does anyone make clutch springs rated higher than 2000 rpm or should I just invest in a clutch and be done with it? Maybe higher quality clutch springs? Oh and has anyone tried that Naraku twist control I linked in an ealier post? It looks like at the very least it would keep the torque spring from binding and make "shifting" easier...?

Ok so what would that pulley do that the stock Super 9 does not...I"m guessing highrr topend due to different pulley angles? Would you need a different belt to work with it? How will this affect roller weight setup?

  I'm afraid if I add an airbox I'll possibly have to rejet then....I just really hate to get into carb stuff.I don't know enough about it,and it seems like a huge pain in the ass.

  The plugs come out looking a normal tan/gray color and I don't get any backfire.

 I never changed the jet on mine after the Next-R pipe change,but it does not seem to be running lean either.There are two jets with the Super 9 when new if I'm not mistaken,and the dealer I bought it from had already changed the boss to the one without the shoulder and unplugged the rev limiter so I'm guessing that maybe they also installed the bigger jet,but it is pure speculation.You definately need to change rollers with the pipe change.The Next-r comes with 6.5 gram rollers which are basically junk,I'd chuck em' immediatly and grab a set of stage six or other descent roller to compliment the pipe.I wonder if a bigger jet and airbox would really wake mine up,but damn it's really good now....I also wish now I would have bought the Malossi variator...

  Honestly I think it was worn out,but I have around 17,000 miles on mine,also I went a long time and never changed the rollers because I didn't know that I should.I started attemping to fix a dead spot I had at around 30-40 mph,before I did any mods and that progression lead me to here.As far as whether a new variator is necessary,well it probably depends on what your looking for,different people will give you different answers.

What have you done to your scoot tread?  Just curious
 
Tecnigas next R pipe
Jasil variator
1500 rpm torque spring
2000 rpm clutch springs
new OEM belt
recently repacked the exaust
currently using 6.25 rollers which I dropped back to after initilally using the 6.75's right after the torque spring change

On another note some surfaces inside the variator don't look as smooth as the should be (in the roller channels) so I'm thinking of taking a dremal and some polishing paste and try to clean it up a bit....thoughts?

Also can you get clutch springs stronger than 2000 rpm?

  After having the clutch springs in for a few days it seems they have lost some strength.Now I'm back to a lag/buildup before it hits the butter rpm zone (8500) then launches.On the plus side my top end is through the roof (needle way past the 50 MPH mark and it's way into the MPH/KMPH marking all the way to the right) and midrange couldn't be better for a stock engine.Now this was a cheap set of spring from racing planet,I'm wondering if a better set may last longer or do I just need to bite the bullet and drop the coin on a clutch? I'm just wondering why I can't seem to debug this problem....it seemed so good a few days ago.I don't think the flys are that worn and the bell doesn't look to be either but is it possible/likely they have anything to do with it? I can't quite get over the top end though...the feel is significantly faster (did I mention it hauls ass!) ,glad I keep a descent set of tires on it.I've been playing with a new OEM belt,and it is a factor in the higher top end,but the lag still occurs with either belt.

Have you changed rollers yet? If not,you definitely need too after that many miles.Do that first before doing anything else.One thing I have certainly learned is to do one thing at a time,so you know exactly which change had which effect.Hell I'm still running the original belt and have close to 17,000 miles on mine....lol.
