Nice, I finally grew some balls and cut the CDI wire. There was a definite power gain and I hit 40 on a flat, 42 downhill! thats all I really hoped because I live in Boston and theres a street light every 5 feet.

I just cut the wire on my CDI and let a mechanic handle the bushing and jet.

So I have purchased a Polini High Speed Variator and Technigas Silent Pro Exhaust.  mlsmith2924 I will let you know how this goes. 
Tseg I think the Variator should clear the rev issue when you disconnect the Purple wire.

I will also look at a bigger jet as well to match the exhaust.

Yes! please do good sir

Brought it to the mechanic and found out it was a carb issue, he was able to derestrict too while fixing the issue.

I got the jet installed today.  Went from a 75 to an 82.  Better ability to hold the top end now and getting there a little faster. 
I did manage to hit 40mph downhill though after. 
So the list of what I have done:
1. Removed violet wire form harness to CDI - close 32-33 mph on flats
2. Change boss - got to 36 mph on downhill still 32-33 mph on flats but very boggy
3. Changed Jet to an 82 - solid 32-33 mph on flats got to 40mph downhill engine was peppy again.

The guy who did the jet for me told me I needed to change the exhaust and up the jet to a 92 to get the most out of it.

Was there a washer in the Intake Manifold?  The guy I was dealing with today didn't seem to think so.


heres the link for the washer on the intake manifold

Also I asked about the cdi, and he said if it runs at 12000 rpm for too long it can damage the engine. If I cut the wire in the stock cdi, is it completely unlimited rpms or An increase?
My bikes a 4 stroke and has an 8 pin cdi

so I just got my super 8 50x 2016 derestricted (main jet, smooth boss, manifold washer removed) and I can only hit 35 on a flat.  Am I missing something here? the mechanic said he was surprised it wasn't hitting 40. Any recommendations for air filters and exhaust?

I checked the carb and it was clean, no residue anywhere. And upon checking it, the idle speed screw isn't working at all. Ive attached a couple videos to show what I'm talking about.

Super 8 / Re: Does a 2016 super 8 50x have a limiter/governer
« on: May 02, 2017, 10:55:16 PM »
I have the exact same bike. I'm a total noob, but this dude on the forum "Roytheroach" has a 2016 super 8 4T as well. Try searching his name, he has an entire thread on the restrictors.  So far the ones I am aware of are the washer lodged in the intake valve from the carb, the main jet being too low, the CDI having an RPM limiter and speed limiter, and the variator bushing having a shoulder on it.  I live in Boston and needless to say it's pretty hilly, I removed the washer and the torque is MUCH better

when I accelerated it before the modification, and before storage it worked fine. I took it out of storage, made sure it was up to snuff and did the modification. Maybe I just didn't notice it before. I'll be able to check the carb tmrw and let you guys know.

Hey all,
I'm not much of a gear head, but I have been reading up on the forum and I removed a washer that was lodged in the tube from my carb to my engine.  This was definitely an upgrade as my bike now has much better acceleration.  However, when I am idling for a long time, for instance at a stoplight, and I accelerate my engine bogs down and sometimes turns off completely.  Is this an issue with the jetting of my scooter or do I need to adjust the air/fuel mixture on the carb?  If it is the latter, where can I find the screw to adjust the air/fuel mixture??

General Discussion / which cdi box?
« on: October 26, 2016, 01:06:10 AM »
Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has any experience with either of these cdi boxes for my super 8 4T.  Currently it has a stock 8 pin model and I don't feel like cutting into it and voiding my warranty.  She's a 2016 and I'm positive that the cdi is restricted because I can't get her over 28 downhill.

Awesome! Do you know a good variator bushing brand? And also do you reccomend new rollers?
