Vitality 50 / Re: Can you derestrict a Vitality 2t 2007?
« on: October 05, 2017, 03:18:27 AM »
Here is the list of what I did to my Aprilia
New variator from Molassi
68cc big bore kit
Rejetted carb
New clutch spring

That got me to 60 mph
Additional things
Clutch assembly
Expansion pipe

Things to look for

Flow restriction in the OEM exhaust (will look like a washer has been welded in... grind it out)

Spacer on cvt shaft

Hope this helps

Hey thanks I'll check for the spacer on cvt shaft. I replaced the exhaust so I don't think I have that problem, haha. I also changed my clutch assembly and my clutch spring. Do you know if I will get better acceleration with smaller springs in the clutch? They came with it so I'm not sure. I ordered a jet as well because I'm running a bit too rich right now, I'm at 116 which is stock so I'm getting a 114 hopefully that will be lean enough to get rid of my black spark plug syndrome.

46mph seems very good out of 50cc.
Strap? Your belt? 10yrs old? Yes, you will probably see a bit more speed with a new belt -- because it will surely be wider than your 10yr old belt....assuming that you purchased the stock Kymco belt. Aftermarket belts can be a crap-shoot.

But why do you think aftermarket belts can be a crap-shoot?

Also, I realize I have good speed but my friend's scooter which is a super 9 is 50cc and it was made in 2006 before the laws in my province forced scooters to be restricted. My scooter is 2007 so it is inherently restricted. His scooter on the other hand hits minimum 80 km/h and his acceleration and power he gets from his engine is out of this world.

Haha Stig I live in Quebec, I happen to speak English, but all the mechanics around here are french so I use the french terms for everything which is partially why I ask questions on here because it becomes difficult to research when I only know the french words for things haha.

Vitality 50 / Can you derestrict a Vitality 2t 2007?

Hey Forum! My Vitality goes great, but it seems to be bottlenecked at around 75 km/h and my acceleration isn't spot on. Two questions: How can I derestrict this this scooter and I bought a new strap because it's still stock and this scooter is almost 10 years old, will this affect my performance negatively?

Read this info on how to do a plug chop.

How does your scoot run with the new exhaust compared to the way it ran before?

Also it seems that I am running too rich, I'll have to figure out how to arrange that as well

Well for one, my acceleration/takeoff is sh** now but I have lots of power (more than before) going up hills once I get enough speed. But like I said my takeoff is unbearable.

After installing new jet you will need to do spark plug "chops" or visual readings of the plug after a good test run. What you want is a plug that has a slight tan or grey electrode NOT white or black. White is too lean black is too rich.

Hey I did the spark plug test and the spark was chocolate colour and I asked my scooter shop and they said that's okay, although my spark plug had black all around it's head. is that a problem?

Hey Kymco riders! I just installed this pipe on my Kymco vitality 2t 50.

http://www.racingplanetusa.com/exhaust-tecnigas-next-chrome-kymco-horizontal-p-760-1.html?backcPathco=1&cPath=2_14#.WciG18iGO70

Awesome sound but according to my local scooter shop it's required to adjust my jet on my carburetor. I opened and took apart my carburetor and cleaned the outside for a start (it was black haha) but I noticed some little specs in the carburetor. So I have these questions 1. How can I clean the interior of my carburetor? 2. Do I need to change my jet or simply adjust it? 3. If I need to adjust/change the jet, how do I do so? What sounds am I looking for? 

Thanks in advance :)

Vitality 50 / Vitality 2t 50 2008 - Increase tire size?
« on: September 04, 2017, 02:05:33 AM »
Hey Kymco enthusiasts!

I have a used Kymco Vitality 2t 50 from 2008 (25 000 km). It's my first scooter I've ever owned, and it's a lot of fun. I changed the handlebars and speedometer and it looks really cool. I've included an attachment showing my scooter (I also painted it). The thing is, my speedometer is made for wheels 13" and above but my scooter has 12" wheels. So my speedometer is always reading the wrong speeds, as well it always shows that I have less gas than what I actually have.

Is it possible to increase wheel size to make up for this issue that I'm having, also, would it be possible to bring the wheel back like on a modified ruckus or bws? I think that would be really cool!

Thanks for answering, and I'm going to keep you guys updated on this scooter I'm planning on getting this thing to hit 100 km/h. So far I've replaced the clutch for more acceleration, next is the variator. Any suggestions on getting this thing going?
