Hey everyone!  It's been a long time since I've been here.  Hope all of you have been well.  So it's been getting nice here in the NE, and I've tried to get my Super 8 started  and I have been able to, but not without jumping it.  I've tried to charge the battery, but to no avail.  I'm in a tough spot in terms of needing a new battery, and was wondering if anyone knows if you can by a battery for a Super 8 anywhere other than online?  Any help would be mucho appreciated!  Thanks and WELCOME BACK WARM WEATHER!!!!   

Ok, so I decided to switch out the regular signals in front to the "dummy" signals.....I took off the covers and took the bulb out.  At that point I took the dummy cove off to make sure the bulb would fit.  After looking at everything, I decided that it would be best to have a friend who knows what he's doing do it.  I put the bulb back in, screwed everything back together, and now nothing!  The clock won't light up, no lights...NOTHING!  I was in a parade w/ a bunch of other scooters earlier, and everything was fine....got caught in a little rain, but not a downpour, so I doubt that had anything to do w. it...besides, when I was her, she gets soaked, obviously.....anyone have any ideas?  Is it safe to try and jump her off a regular car?  Man I hope someone is in here right now that can answer me!


Edit:  Found out that I can jump her off my car....no luck though

Is it worth it?  I know that it will help w/ gas mileage, although I do get about 70mpg.  I'm not looking for more speed, obviously, but am looking for overall better performance....doing the modifications to get her to be what she was meant to be!  Sling?  I know you have something for me....you always do, oh Jedi Master of Kymco!   

I stopped by the dealership that I traded my car for my scooter today to ask if they had rollers, or knew where to get them.  ( I know I can order them, but I have zero patience and want things right now!)  He says to stop up at his garage and talk to a couple of the guys there...they may have some for me...... I continue talking to the owner, and he tells me about a ride he's putting together that basically covers the entire south-southeast section of CT next Saturday.  He also tells me if I want, I can hop on a Super 8 for the ride so I won't have any troubles keeping up. (all the 150 decals have been stripped off)  Sounds good to me!  He tells me to take one out for a quick spin now...I hop on....HOLY HELL they're UNREAL!!!!  As I pull back up to the door, I say out loud, jokingly, "Man, I'd trade you my Agility + $500 for this thing..."  He replies w/ "done deal, and you have until June 10th to give me the $500" and sticks out his hand  .  Now, I love my scoot, but I have a sh** ton of hills to go up on the way to and from work, and top speed now is 20mph if I'm lucky up the hills.  The decals are removed from the Super 8, and I don't have the desire to really go over 45-50 at any given time, which I can do now on my Agility on level ground and downhill.....but, as I just said, the up hills KILL ME!  What would you guys do?  Take the deal or keep modifying my scoot?   

I want to start off by saying thank you to all of you that help out with questions for the newbs like me when it comes to problems and/or modifications!  It's great to know there's a place on the interwebs for us to go...  With that said, here's my scoot....

I had this in the general forum, so I trashed it, and brought it over here to the right one!  

First, I'd like to say hello to everyone here!! This is my first post, and though I wish it were to just say hello, unfortunately, it's not.  So, I got my Agility 50 about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and everything has been fine up until this past Friday.  I notice when I get her up to about 25mph + I start to hear a low rumble sound coming from the back wheel area.  It's not a very loud rumble, and it's not something that I had heard prior.  It sort of sounds as if there may be something loose, so yesterday, while I was modifying my CDI (thank you all for that info...gained 7mph!), I decided to take off the plate around the variator to see what I could see.  I didn't see anything that I thought looked out of place (keep in mind, I'm not that mechanically inclined, but have a butt load of common sense, so I know my limits).  Has anyone ever experienced this?  Any ideas?  Thanks in advance!
