like to hear from anyone who has gone the 4 valve rout and how it went. Bob

Hi Justwanttoride, i know what you mean about shocks and ride. The shock spring is too stiff for a 195 lb rider, it is like riding a bucking horse. But new shocks are expensive. I have thought of going to a Wrecking yard and trying to get some old shocks of a small bike ?. What tires would you recommend ?.

Hi you lot, i have been reading all the old posts, and cant find what i need. Please read and advise. My Super 8 150 runs nice, but bogs a little on hills. I have been thinking of adding a 4 valve head and better breathing and carb (bigger Jets). I cant find if anyone thinks the exhaust is too restrictive. I find a post where they think that noise is what you get from a new exhaust. Do any of you have an opinion. Thanks.

Hi this is such a wonderful forum site. Here goes an newby type question ?.
My super 8 150 has a production date of late 2008. The engine number begins KV30S1000664. So how does that relate to the 157QMJ line of engines. The QMJ line seems to list all the hop up parts ?.
I appreciate your experience and help. At least i know the difference between a two stroke and a four cycle. Thanks Bob

Hi the weights just don't cost that much, so i went with the standard 12 gram. I feel it smoothed everything up. Take off mid range and pickup. I was happy with the results. I am mostly in 45 mph traffic, occasionally into 55 mph traffic.
If i wanted a faster machine i would have bought a bigger sized scooter. A Super 8 150 is good value for the money.

Hi check your belt, i noticed that it vibrates at certain places as the variator is working. I tested it with the cover off. The bottom of the belt slaps around a bit. No harm to the belt, just an annoying noise. I think it may be due to a stronger main spring at the clutch. Yes i did all the mods at once. It did smooth the clutch take up and give stronger response to the throttle mid range. ?? but the belt slap ??, time will tell it only happens at certain speeds and position of the variator.

Thanks i was unsure what to do with it.
