So turns out the CVT was already de-restricted, and from what I can tell only the ECU and CDI are keeping it from going faster or making more power. I made another post with pictures of said modules. https://www.kymcoforum.com/index.php?topic=32402.0

Okay, so I went under the seat storage to see about a screw that limits my throttle pull, buuut the dealer had already removed that.

I pulled the airbox and all its hoses apart and found a restrictor in there and removed that, but I don't think it did much.

Took the CVT cover off (gasket suddenly got way too big to fit back on so until I can get a new one, I'm running without. If that's a big issue I'll put a new one on sooner, but I don't think it's that big an issue personally).
Before I could even figure out how to take the variator nut off I saw there was no washer restricting that at all.

It seems like this particular Kymco really is just limited by the ECU/CDI module (see pics attached).
My dealer said they don't deal with any of that stuff and that I'm on my own. I'm not expecting massive gains; maybe like 5mph more, 10 at the absolute max.

I'm willing to buy aftermarket ECU and CDI modules and test them, but I'm very hesitant to cut any wires that I wouldn't as easily be able to replace.

Anybody have any ideas? Suggestions? My indicated speed always sits around 26-28 mph on the speedo. I'm aware it's not accurate but even so I'm fairly certain I'm not running a full 30mph.

General Discussion / Like 150i or Super 8 150?

Just what the title says.
The like 150i is about 20lbs heavier fully fueled but claims to make 3more HP and the same torque as well as getting about 20mpg higher.
The Super 8 150 is 10ish HP and the same torque, but is carbureted so has the potential to be modded a lot easier for more power.

Which would y'all pick assuming they're both brand new and the same price?

I got a 2020 model (dealer said it was 2021 but whatever) like 50i. Fuel injected 50ish cc 4 stroke with a cvt.

If anything, what can I do to de-restrict/increase power and/or top speed? I don't think it's a gy6 motor, if I can figure it out I'll try to add a pic of the little metal stamp under the cvt box.
