That's how I did it. The wrench that came with the bike works perfectly. Just make sure the wedge is tight. Also, it makes life easier if you take the side paneling off, I left it on and when the nut finally broke loose I scraped my arm on the plastic. Took a bit of skin off, but no damage to the plastic.

I was able to go from under the seat to loosen the 2 bolts on the chasis. I had to take the air filter off. I left all the hoses attached since I didn't have a way to pinch them. I just had to turn the carb slightly to get to the screws on the fuel bowl.

I did this just to install the "speed kit" from kymco. The dealer wanted $50 but I've been trying to save cash by doing things myself.

All in all once I got over the intimidation factor it wasn't too difficult. Now getting the variator nut off without an impact wrench is pretty difficult, but I got it.

Anyone know where I can get a CDI for the 2 stroke? All I can find is this http://online.mortch.com/MIHPCDI-KYMSUP8-LEJ2-KYMCO-SUPER8 which is for the 4 stroke models.

Has anyone had any luck with a specific model?

So I'm a huge noob when it comes to mechanics. I spent my days learning computers and stuff like that. Now that I'm older I would like to get a lot more hands on. I haven't been able to find any diagram or anything on how to remove the innards of the Kymco Like. Can anyone provide a quick howto on removing the carb? I've seen the removal on other scooters, and some go karts but it doesn't look quite the same on the Like.

Thanks.

Well from the Like 200 forum I've read that stock it can do ~60mph. So if I add some of these mods to the girlfriend's bike hopefully I can get her up to about the same speed. I'd really like to start backpacking around this summer. Hopefully finances will allow me to.

Awesome info! I want to get her scoot up to a decent speed because I'd like to go road tripping with her. I might get myself the like 200, or some other 200-300cc scoot.

It's my girlfriend's bike. She just got it last weeks so it's still completely stock. She's still breaking it in so I haven't even put the derestriction kit on it yet. I would like for the scooter to go a safer speed, maybe 45-50 or so? But that's all an "eventually" or "down the road" type project.

What replacement muffler would you recommend?
