Super 8 / Re: American Kymco Super 8 50cc 4 stroke
« on: July 30, 2011, 02:05:25 PM »
Honestly the best upgrade I got was going to 5g KOSO sliders

Gave me better acceleration.

I just dont know where my RPM's are now.

5g is enough to push the belt all the way up the variator
I just need to make sure Im not runnint at 10K + RPMs and going to blow my motor!

Dont bother... I have already done that with no improvement.
I have a performance exhaust, but I need to have it welded to a header before I can see if that improves anything.

More likely a little less...
Anything over 40mph and your in the 5% zone I believe.

www.partsforscooters sells Dr. Pulley sliders for under $25.00
Best in my opinion.

Dont change the clutch spring its a waste
all it does is cause your engine to have to rev higher to get your scoot to move.

Super 8 / Re: #82 and #84 advice? Now getting more air but less fuel.
« on: July 25, 2011, 05:23:34 PM »
The one I got from Tapai was correct for my super 8 but they only have the #88

I was able to find a #85 on www.partsforscooters.com

I dont think they had a #84 however.

ONly other suggestion would be www.jetsrus.com

Agreed....
And trust me, you will never know it all, there is way too much involved in modding your scoot.

Nice.... they need to allow you to give REP points on this site!
Great idea, and even better with the dynabead suggestion.

G'day Freerider, you can balance your wheels yourself. With mine I got some weights from a tyre place, when I took my front wheel off I used the axle to mount the wheel on a pair of jack stands, then spun the wheel and allowed it to come to a stop by itself. If the same point stopped at the bottom each time, that is the heavier spot, so place a weight on the opposite side and spin again, if the wheel stops at different points each time, then the wheel is balanced. With the rear wheel, I bought two small bearings to put into the spline, then put a small shaft through to support the wheel on the jack stands and do the same. The weights I got from the tyre place were 5 and 10 gram weights. You can also use dyna beads which go inside the tyre and balance the wheel as you ride. There are also gel versions.

If you were most happy with 5g rollers you should have went with 6g sliders.
Always go 1g heavier with sliders.

People 50 / Re: Why does my stock variator out perform my new Polini one?
« on: July 08, 2011, 12:21:23 PM »
Why in the world would I have to mess with my idle mixture or idle speed screws?  I dont think you know what you are talking about.
This has nothing to do wtih the performance of the bike other than startup and idle.

Anyways, partsforscooters was out of clutch springs so I had to stick with the handlebar and some dr. pulley sliders... not bad for $30.00 shipped.

Wish I would have seen this before the purchase, but too late now.
I have the super8 and have been searching for the holy grail of making it faster.
I didnt have the shouldered drive boss restirction so that was a waste of time.
I can tell you that I went to a free flow air filter and a #85 main jet.  The thing runs great now (sound and stable)
However doesnt give you much more speed 40+ on the scoot but GPS verified at 36.3mph top.

Get some 5 or 6g Dr. Puley (or cheaper alternative) sliders to notice a ton more pep.

Also make sure you pull out your CDI (in the battery compartment) and cut one of the two pink and violet wires  that will get you the best MPH benifit

Finally I recommend a battery tender because the clock on this thing kills the battery if you dont drive it every day.

Cut the CDI that will give you the additional 6-8mph that you are looking for.
THen check your main jet... mine was already an #82 which is fine for a scoot with a cut CDI
No reason to change a jet because you have removed a rev limiter... only reason to upjet is if  you change the amount of air coming in (ie. Free flow air filter)

Agility 50 / Re: Need help finalizing my tuning thoughts
« on: July 05, 2011, 03:21:31 PM »
Just dont want to send my cell phone flying while doing 40mph.

I checked the air in my tires and I was only 15lbs on the front, I changed that to 32 and we went riding last night and she was doing 40+ on the spedo, but max on the gps was about 36.3mph.

Getting there.... I think upping my sliders 1g to 6g might be the way to go.
