Update:  I ordered a extractor socket on Amazon and it worked.  Although I had to hammer the socket onto the nut to securely fasten it until I removed it with the impact drill. (I tried it with a torch wrench first, but no luck)

Now I reassembled the scooter with the new polini variator (w 5 gram sliders) and Kevlar belt.  Still the take off from a dead stop and hill climbs are VERY poor.  It takes me forever to accelerate up to 15 MPH. 

Would putting on a pod filter or messing with the air intake help with acceleration??

THANKS!

Good Luck!

The socket was definitely long enough to cover the entire nut.  Just not sure what happened because I test fitted the nut twice before I tried to remove it with the impact wrench.

Like a true novice I purchased a new performance clutch (which has 2K springs) thinking it would help. I did try to squeeze the driven pulley and contra spring together to get more room/extension to get the belt on, but I couldn't budge that thing! That's why I tried to remove the clutch nut again to get the belt on correctly and subsequently stripped the nut.  I had no problem squeezing the original clutch to get the belt on before.  This new performance clutch with a 2K contra spring was crazy stiff!

I've since read some forums on 2K contra springs and know think it was a bad decision....lesson learned.

Thanks again!

Yes.  It is still under warranty.  The dealer basically washed his hands with me and said that there is nothing much more he can do for me because he already derestricted it.  I had him take it back once already because it ran terrible with the new unrestricted CDI.  He then returned it to me and it runs good, but it still lacks power like I mentioned.  I also checked the CDI after he returned it and saw that it was the original Kymco OEM CDI.  I contacted him and he admitted that he reinstalled the OEM Kymco CDI because it ran better with it??  But never told me??

Now today I installed a polini variator and new sliders and tried to install a performance clutch.  The variator went smoothly but then I stripped the nut while trying to put it back on the clutch bell!!!  I'm a novice for sure, but did hand tighten the nut before using the impact wrench. 

Now I have no idea what to do.  I will contact my dealer but I'm sure he will not be much help.  I'm assuming I will have to cut the nut off somehow???  I should say not I, but a mechanic.....Happy Father's Day to me!!!

The worst thing for me is the acceleration because it's no slow it's dangerous trying to pull into traffic and across intersections.

Beause of that I was looking for a BBK for my scooter.  I was told that this engine (KG10T) is made solely by Kymco, and that there are no after market BBKs that are compatible?

Can anyone verify that this is correct??

I have a performance variator on the way.   If this gives me 5 more mph I will be very happy.....I also found out that there might not be a BBK available for my Kymco engine.
