I’m wondering if there is anything that will make my headlights brighter...is it as simple as different bulbs? Is there anything that will make a noticible difference? I’m also wondering if there are any easy upgrades I can do to add a little more speed either on the top end or even a little more pep pff the line. I have seen references to air filter pods for this and wondering they are something to consider? What else? Thanks in advance.

So I purchased my 2014 super 8 150 about 4 years ago and it ran great mostly, the battery drained too quickly but it was always reliable and if stalled occasionally would start back up instantly no issue...then it sat untouched for like 2 years. I got a new battery, air filter, drained the gas, sea foamed, wouldn’t start and based on research seemed like a dirty carb from sitting, ended up replacing the carb, and it starts, and runs, but I’ll ride it around for a few hours, stop places etc and it is great. Then I’ll go to it later or the next day it will start up then after a few blocks or so it dies and if I can get it started right back it does when I hit the throttle. After sitting for A day charging the battery (which isn’t always drained) I can usually get it going again and 1/2 the time the same cycle repeats, other times it will die almost immediately at speed in traffic (fun!) the other night I rode it all over then stopped for a couple hours and when I went to ride it again dead within a block. I charged the battery, and got it going and in the 3 miles to my home it died 3 times. I was able to get it going each time by opening then closing the gas cap and spraying some starting fluid but there’s clearly a problem that nobody seems to be able to identify. It’s my only transportation and I’m about to go crazy...anyone have this issue? Or have any ideas? I’ve already taken it to a shop, spent $200 and a week and a half and I’m not sure they did anything 😒 it has been suggested that i need a better battery, but it seems like it’s more than that to me. I don’t want to keep throwing money at it if it’s not gonna make a difference...
