Super 8 / American Kymco Super 8 50cc 4 stroke
« on: June 11, 2011, 11:30:24 PM »
Just a word of advice, I bought my Kymco from a cycle shop here in Detroit Michigan.
I wasted $10.00 on a derestricted variator boss online just to fine out that mine didnt have that restrictive collar.
Then I wasted another $10.00 on a #82 Main jet just to find out mine already had one.

So the only restriction in place on my bike when I bought it was the CDI wire which I cut...
That took me from 30mph to 37mph.

I changed the main jet to a #88 and put a free flow K&N Filter on and now I max out at 35mph.... but its quicker to get there.... WHAT GIVES?

Should I really waste my money on a race variator and lighter weights or just go straight to the 80cc big bore kit?

I just purchased a Kymco super 8 50cc 4stroke from the local dealer.
They tried to upsell me to the 250cc but I didnt want to deal with registration licensing and insurance.

However, this thing is entirely too slow to be safe.
I cant get it over 32MPH

Anyone have any experience with this kit?  Is it worth while?

If so anyone have step by step instructions for the install?
