General Discussion / What Did You Do To Your Scooter This Week?
« on: August 19, 2013, 06:37:34 PM »
I made a luggage rack,  added a bicycle rack to it.  Last week I repainted it, changed oils, added a magnet to the filter screen. Next week new muffler...shocks....windshield....the farkling has begun.

Super 8 150 / Shocks...Rough Ride!!
« on: August 19, 2013, 06:33:19 PM »
My S8 rides like a hay wagon meaning rough.... :( Has anyone changed shocks or the fork springs to get a better softer ride?  I think the factory set up is for 2 200 lb riders......

How do the TaoTao, Vento or other Chinese 150s ride?  I would buy shocks or one of them if it was smoother.

General Discussion / Re: Magnetic Drain Plug Kit.

If you want a cheap magnetic drain plug, get one for a BMW car they are less than 4 bucks shipped on ebay.

The size is 12mm x 1.5  I ordered one while waiting for the kits to be restocked.....if ever?

Update, the BMW car plug is to long to fit the super 8 engine.......So I cut it in half used red and black high temp jb weld and installed it in the filter screen cap, works great fit in the cavity of the cap perfect.

General Discussion / Voltage Regulator...
« on: August 12, 2013, 10:01:55 PM »
Anyone know where to get a cheap voltage regulator for a super 8 150....it is the 5 pin PITA.  Or know how to convert it to the cheap standard gy6 4 pin regulator? 

I bought this thing  thinking it was a  normal gy6 and all the cheap parts would work....NOT.

Friend, I have done a bit of reading about this subject as well, most of the mods are done on the 50cc scoots not so much on anything bigger other that a pipe jet kit or shim etc.  The clutch seems to be the best place to go for higher speeds. Maybe I will dig into that a little more.  I already shimmed my needle and the pipe is looking like the next thing.

Just as with my bikes cant leave anything stock for long....... ;D  Gotta be others that have modded 150s. Links???

 There is a kit for gy6 engines that includes 3 plugs and a magnet for the filter that is what I want.  BTW the plug is a 12mm x 1.5

General Discussion / Agiity 50 Backrest!!
« on: August 09, 2013, 11:14:22 PM »
Saw a very sweet scooter today the agility 50 with the flip up back seat that makes a backrest.  Great idea, I modified my Virago 250 several years ago to do the same thing.  A backrest is really nice on a long ride!!  Anyone have one?

After searching on ebay I found a company selling a CDI that advances the timing 4 degrees and eliminates the rev limiter. They also sell an exhaust system for gy6 150 based engines for 90 bucks shipped.    scooter-atvparts
