Super 8 / Variator Roller Weight
« on: March 29, 2023, 06:45:27 PM »
Kymco Super 8 50 (year 2021)
Almost 3000 miles.
I was getting about 33-37 mph top speed on bike's speedometer which may be off 1-2 mph. Depends on driving conditions (my state is allowed 35 mph so I'm legal).
All stock parts, but pulled purple CDI wire to increase from 26 mph to 33-37 mph. Boss was restricted with collar on it. No other modifications.
Opened variator and rollers were a bit flat. I think I put 8g new rollers but didn't measure (8g is based on product advertisement).
I did put a new unrestricted boss as old boss had some wear on it.
Now the acceleration is a bit bogged and slow to pickup speed. It has a hard time getting to 30-33 mph and not really higher.
What roller weight should I use? Previous was stock and I don't know their weight, but performance was good.
Any input?
Thanks!
