Yes, in terms of scooters Taiwan Kymco's are 100x better than chinese scooters (I own both)
However the idea that everything manufactured in China being garbage is a complete fallacy.
I work for a company that deals with parts out of China and I have been there. 
For every crap company building the cheapest possible product, there is another across the street with state of the art equipment making product as good or better than anything in the US/ Taiwan / Japan / Germany / You name it!

Me too, I think thats the most annoying thing about changing to a K&N free flow is the fact that it gets 5x louder

I was wanting to put mine inside an air box to protect it from rain and also to quieten it down a bit.

Hey baddi... does that danish forum have any information about Kymco Super 8?
Sounds like you have a lot of good information.

How were you able to measure your accerlation down to the seconds like that?

I have been going purely on feel and how quick I can get up to speed before I hit a stop sign in my neighborhood!

Hey guys, heres what i did to make my agility go 52 MPH (82 km/h measured on speedometer):

Derestricted variator, CDI cut and stuff.

Air filter & jets: you would like to get a medium sized air filter, as a too small or too big isnt doing properly. With a medium sized powerfilter, ive expierienced the best effect with #84 and #86 jets, but ended up with #84, as this saves a little bit fuel.

Variator & rollers: I went with Malossi Multivar 2000, as ive heard on a danish forum, that this was a company with alot of expierience in tuningparts. The roller weight is all about enertia (the power which is requirered to make an object move) and momentum (how much power an object has stored in its movement = how much it can push), and heavier rollers has more in both. Also clutch spring has something to do with this, as it counteracts the power from the rollers, in order to keep the belt tight. With the Malossi variator came 6g rollers and a white spring, which i believe is a 33kg spring.
I used the white spring and tried both 6g rollers and 5.5g, but expierienced that although the 5.5g has a lower enertia, and starts rolling at lower RPM's, it lacks the momentum to get into highest gear, even at max RPM's.

The diffrence in acceleration with 5.5 and 6g rollers was this:
                  5.5g                     6g
0-30 km/h:   6.3 seconds          4.9 seconds
0-50 km/h    13 seconds           10.41 seconds
0-66 km/h    22 seconds           17.74 seconds
0-75 km/h    N/A                     25.39 seconds.

I measured in km/h, as i live in Denmark, but i hope that you can understand where im going with this, saying that 0.5g can make a diffrence in several seconds in accellerating. Also the "guru" of the danish forum which im on, sais that 6.25g is the best on his agility so its around there, and not always "the lighter the better"

Im pretty sure they deliver outside the UK if you dont live here,their wesite says 20 day delivery for outside UK and says they use DHL.

Not too many left now and heres me giving away a link to them, better be one left for me in a few weeks 

I hope they have some left for you... I dont see any Kymco's on the compatible models however.
I dont like the risk of having to modify it to make it work!

The cooler looking Tach is 2x the price of Streido's
What do you connect the two wires to in order to measure RPM's?

Does scootertrap have a website...
Sounds like clearance deals to me!

Where did you get the rev sensor for that cheap?  Everything I have seen was over $50.00
Id rather put that money towards something to make it faster!

He has a nice polini variator I have been debating with myself about for the last month.
$85.00 shipped... seems like a great price, but not sure of the gain I will get.
95mm face width instead of 88.9 so that has to count for something, right?
