Ok all. I just talked directly to Kymco USA customer service and they said that US Kymco scooters should not have come with derestricted variators or jets. There was a batch in a shipment that were meant for overseas but accidentally came here. So the ones of you that had a scooter with the derestriction stuff under the seat got lucky. The rest of us didn't get lucky. It makes me feel better that this guy isn't being a douche and trying to rip me off. Still I could have used those thing for free.

OK. So I got an email back from Kymco USA that said I needed to contact my dealer about de-restricting my scooter because they "cannot discuss any information on de-restricting my unit". They also said that no scooter should be sold with any de-restriction components or information left to the consumer. So that sucks. Now I have no backup when I go talk to that guy.

Oh also, does anyone feel like giving me some detailed instructions/pics on how to take out the snorkel from my air vent? I don't really know my way around scooters enough.

Yeah I just read about the var and jet being under the seat. I went and checked last night and I didn't get them so I'm gonna have to go back to the dealer and get them. That makes me mad, freaking jerk. Thanks guys! I'm hoping this will hook me up!

Ok I'm seeing quite a few of these subjects similar to my question but I thought I'd go ahead and ask anyway. To start off, I don't really know much about location of parts or terminology. I live in Daytona Beach, FL, I'm 195 lbs and I like long walks on the beach. My Super 8 only does 27 on flat ground. I JUST started reading around trying to find out what to do and how to do it. I read that the 2011 Super 8 50 2t doesn't a CDI. My manual says "Ignition type - DC-CDI". Does this just mean that the CDI isn't restricted? Because I looked today and couldn't find the pink/purple wires to cut. I'm looking to do some cheap mods to get my speed up. It sucks going 25-27mph on a 45mph road! Dude at my dealership said I need to get a new spacer for the variator. Should I just remove any spacers and leave them off? People are also talking about taking the snorkel? off in the air filter area. Any ideas? I'm gonna see about getting a new jet. Maual says it's a 16mm but people are talking about stock 65's. I don't know if they are just different measurements or what. Would I be looking for a 16mm 80 jet? I'm kinda cheezed that the CDI problem isn't one that I have. I was hoping for an easy speed increaser. Anyway, any cheap suggestions would help. Also if anyone can find any pics or give instructions that would be great too! Thanks a lot!
