Super 9 / 2005 Super 9 LC
« on: February 28, 2013, 04:44:42 PM »
Question for the smart masses...

My S9 is stock other than the exhaust, which is a Tecnigas Next-R, and adjusted roller weights to accommodate the exhaust for my almost 200 lbs self.  I want to smooth out the powerband with a malossi multivar variator, however I want to be certain that I get all the right parts in one order.  Can anyone recommend the correct clutch springs, compression spring, and variator rollers for my scooter accounting for my weight?

Even a guess based upon your experience, and/or your own ride, would be appreciated.

I am not looking to build out much more than exhaust and transmission.  This thing runs great, just over 50MPH on a flat road, with nice acceleration.  I just have a dip in the powerband around 25MPH, and it kicks back in at about 35MPH.  My research tells me that a performance variator will nearly eliminate that.  I am fairly certain that I will have to get different weight rollers to accommodate the new variator and compression spring.  I think the malossi kits come with a white compression spring and 9g rollers.  I don't recall my exact current roller weight, but I was looking to just get the right stuff right away.

If your experience is that the malossi kits have all the right stuff to go along with my exhaust and otherwise stock scooter, then I am good with that information.

If your experience tells you otherwise, please throw it out there, and I will take everything you say into account when researching further.

Thanks in advance!

What does a performance clutch enhance on a scooter?

Thanks!

I have been researching the belt, and it is for a 125cc or 150cc GY6 engine.  I know that Kymcos have a GY6 clone engine, but my scooter is a 50cc.  How did you come to know that this belt for a larger engine would work great in a 50cc driven transmission?  Was it a trial and error thing, or did you hear/read about it somewhere?  I have seen you talk about this belt a bit on the forum, but was never able to figure out your source.  Just curious mostly...

:)

Does anyone have experience with the Dr. Pulley sliding rollers?
They claim to extend the variator out in a better way...will this enhance performance, or just prevent abnormal wear?

Thanks for responding, wordslinger, I appreciate the specific information, especially on the roller weights.  I will check into the belt.  Any recommendations on best place to get one?

I just acquired a 2005 S9 LC.  It is derestricted already and can hit 50mph on a slight hill.  I am looking to get faster acceleration, and a little more top end.  After spending a few days on this forum, I think I know what I want to do, but figured I would ask for advice also.  I cannot afford to get a new pipe, or rejet due to new pipe, at the moment...so I will save that for later.

In order of what I think I should do:

1) performance variator
2) slider rollers with flat sides to push out more
3) new contra spring

What brand variator do you recommend for this particular scooter?
What weight rollers would be best to match a 200lb rider?
What color (rpm rating) spring would be the best to match everying?

For down the line when I can afford the pipe...which pipe would give me a good overall improvement, top end and acceleration performance?  Does anyone have particular experience with multiple exhausts, and settling on one that works best?  I know I will have to rejet, for the exhaust, and I will probably have a professional do that part.

I do not want to go to a 70cc, but I think I can get a little boost from the first 3 upgrades.

Thoughts, suggestions, comments?

Thanks!
