Super 9 / Re: super 9 aftermarket led tail light
« on: October 20, 2011, 11:49:04 PM »
You just need to search, any Kymco dealer can get the part so long as you have the part number. Getting the part number is the difficult part.
Here is a site, includes the parts diagram for reference;
http://partsfinder.onlinemicrofiche.com/actionmotorsportsktm/Kymco_OEM/KymcoSC.asp?Type=13&A=43&B=33
The link provided is for a 2007 and is all red. As mentioned I think the clear red clear was done in 2004.

Super 9 / Re: super 9 aftermarket led tail light
« on: October 20, 2011, 01:10:46 AM »
Thanks for the compliments, I made more cosmetic changes to the scooter before I did any wrenching on the CVT or engine LOL
I bought mine from a place in the mid-west somewhere, I wish I can remember but it was about 3 years ago. The guy there was super cool and could get any part for the Kymco............ I know most places can as well but he was helpful. I bought a bunch of misc parts from him.
where can i buy new lenses mine are smashed. lol

I don't know of any LED kits out there, I am sure there are some. There is a mod you can do to remove the mud flap and reposition the turn indicators................ this is what I did to mine;
I bought a lens cover for an '04 and earlier model (Think it's an 04) where the tail light is red and the ends are clear. Then drill out holes on the ends of the rear light assembly, and "build" a light socket with wiring, set it to fit the hole. If this is what you are talking about let me know and can provide additional how to info. The hardest part was finding amber colored bulbs.
I did the same similar thing up front and removed the lights from the handlebars, moved the lights down next to the headlighttoo.

Super 9 / Re: Kymco Super 9 Ac 2001 Tuning options?
« on: October 18, 2011, 02:04:37 AM »
I bought a new CDI after I upgraded to a 70 kit, didn't notice the rev limiter on the stock CDI until I did the BBK upgrade.
Anyway I got this one;

I know it says 4T 150cc engines, it was recommend to me and was skeptical at first. Plug and play and works great.

Super 9 / Re: I need a quick price check on a 2007 Super 9, very much appreciated!
« on: August 16, 2011, 09:17:37 PM »
Yeah I would jump all over the S9 especially if it's LC.......... they put out about 1HP more then the AC version. Not to mention they are more forgiving when tuning. Also it's probably 8,500 KM, not miles, as the speedo reads in KM. My '07 AC has 14,000+ KM and still runs strong.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Super 9 / Re: Has anyone had any experience with the Dr.pulley roller weight?
« on: August 16, 2011, 09:13:50 PM »
Good to hear, I too chew through roller weights and tired of getting the flat spots. I have used the Jasil and many others, they all seem to flatten out relatively quick.

Super 9 / Is Technigas RS II the only exhaust available with a BBK?
« on: August 16, 2011, 09:12:00 PM »
I am upgrading to a 70cc Malossi, and getting a 19mm carb (Probably Arreche) and shopping for exhaust pipes.
I am interested in a couple pipes including the Yasuni C16 and Stage6 Pro. The Technigas RS II is an option as well, I currently have the Next R with the stock engine. I can't find any other options for the Kymco other then the Technigas from a couple places. And those places only have it in chrome.
Anyone have any online resources where I could check out other pipes available for the Kymco or is the Technigas RS II in chrome the only option available?

Super 9 / Lets talk tires
« on: July 17, 2011, 04:34:29 PM »
Just curious what everyone is using.
I had the original up front and it was getting dry rotted ( 4 years old & 15K km) and I needed to replace the rear anyway. It was the third rear tire I have gone through due to nails and plugs that wouldn't hold up.
Anyway I picked up the Michelin Pilot Sport SC for the front and rear. The difference is amazing; the grip is excellent (dry and wet), ride nice and smooth, absorbs small bumps well, and begs to be riden at an angle......... so much fun around turns now. I highly recommend this tire. I never imagined there would be such a noticble difference just from a tire upgrade.
Anyone else have a preference?

Super 9 / Squeezing a little more power, modify airbox and manifold?
« on: June 21, 2011, 03:48:22 PM »
Hi all,
I have an '07 Super 9 AC that has been good to me, 15,000km good so far. Early on I played with the transmission; upgraded variator, stronger contra & clutch springs, played with the roller weights. I also put on a tuned pipe and opened the jet a little. It is pretty well dialed in and I can get it to top speed with consistent RPM's all the way through to about ~45MPH depending on the wind. (Speedo indicates 50 or more with needle to the M in MPH on speedo).
The next obvious upgrade would be a 70cc kit, pipe, and carb. But until then I was thinking of modifying the air coming into and leaving the carburator. I have an upgraded manifold that is a couple MM bigger in diameter then stock and noticed the hose from the airbox to the carb seems restrictive as well. I saw somewhere (yahoo groups?) a mod to replace that tube with a radiator hose.
My question is would opening the airflow to and from the carb a few MM provide any additional power? I have read the only restrictions to the AC in the USA is the speedboss, exhaust and air intake and not the CDI. The manifold I have is for/from a Canadian version of the S9.
Is this modification worth it? Obviously I would have to adjust the jetting........... just wonder what kind of (if any) performance increase should I expect.

Super 9 / Re: TUNE-UP TIME--EASY
« on: April 06, 2011, 11:58:05 PM »
did the same, and new lines and cleaned the csrb. First time I took it apart, removed gaskets and sprayed clean. It fired up after a couple kicks. After a quick run I put enough charge on it to start it again. Not bad for 3 years and 13K km to have original battery and start/run so easy with a little cleaning.

General Discussion / Re: Question about a warranty issue
« on: January 02, 2009, 02:06:24 AM »
Thanks, I'll ask about the $100. I was going to slip them a c-note, maybe a $50 for their troubles but this sounds like a forced gratuity.
In terms of taking pics, the dealer has all the old parts and said Kymco will want them if they honor the claim. Not sure which side it was but I think it was the variator side. They replaced both main bearings... not sure about the seals but I am sure they did it right. They weren't real keen on spliting the case if they didn't have too though, glad they did and now we know where the metal came from that wrecked the piston. I haven't seen anything in writing in terms of what was done, I have only seen the old parts that were replaced. The bearing looked like a mini grenade exploded ripping out a small section of the cage, the ball bearings don't have the uniform spacing anymore either and I might have lost one in addition to part of the cage that holds them in place.

General Discussion / Question about a warranty issue
« on: January 01, 2009, 03:14:14 PM »
I bought my 07 Super 9 back on 7/31/07 new, put 9700KM on it before I had an issue. I have heavily modded the CVT, only engine mods were a performance pipe and drilled the main jet a size bigger to accomodate it. This pipe and jet mod was done around 1500KM. I have used BelRay Si7 2 stroke oil consistently, it has never drank any other oil. The CDI or rev limiter was never altered.
I was riding at WOT (like I always do) when it stopped. I knew the piston was seized. Took it to the shop, they found a piece of metal had got into the combustion chamber and nicked the piston head, top of the piston, as well the side skirt but couldn't figure out where it came from. They installed a new piston and jug not knowing if it would be covered under warranty because of the exhaust pipe mod. After installing it they noticed it still didn't sound and feel right so they split the case open.
They found a main bearing next to the crank had failed. The piece of metal was a part of the bearing cage that holds the ball bearings in place. As a result pieces of this bearing worked it's way up the transfer ports, damaged the gears for the oil pump as well the piston. The dealer ordered and installed; a new piston, new jug, new head, new crank, new main bearings, and a new crank....... basically a new engine top and bottom. Over $500 in parts alone and 8+ hours of labor.
Kymco wants pre-authorization for any engine work greater then $250. Because the dealer had already invested in installing a new piston and jug splitting the case open took the repair over $250. They feel that Kymco will cover it and commented no mod would cause the failure I experienced. Kymco is dragging their feet though, they don't open until the 5th of January and the Dealers bill for the parts will be due before Kymco decides.
As a result I gave him $300 towards the repair to get my scooter back and out of his shop. If Kymco denies the claim then I will have to pay the balance (he will charge me cost on parts, help with labor rates) If Kymco approves the claim then I get back $200. Either way I am out $100, why? Is there a deductable for engine repairs under warranty? I was going to ask the dealer but he is gone for a while.
Do you think Kymco will honor this? If not then why not? What is the $100 for, anyone hear of this?
Thanks in advanced and happy new year!

Super 9 / Re: Tuning new Super 9 AC?
« on: July 29, 2008, 10:27:35 PM »
Getting another pipe will be a waste of money on a stock AC Super 9.. The AC models dont have the green wire to disconnect the rev limiter. You will need to by a unrestricted CDI off Ebay $125 and take your cvt spacer out and throw it in the trash.. Go buy one that dosen't have the coller on it, Kymco part $25.. Or take your stock one to a machine shop with a lathe and have it modified.. Derestricted you can acheive 40-45mph depending on your weight.. Dont get a pipe until you plan on carb and cylinder mods..
There is no rev limiter in the 07 CDI, buying another is a waste of money. The exhaust is very restrictive due to all the new emmissions standards. The "boss mod", a tuned performance pipe, bigger main jet, and lighter roller weights I got mine to 50-55 indicated with the Technigas type R pipe the biggest performance gain.
I have also replaced the contra spring with a stiffer one which eliminates the low RPM's coming out of turns, up hills or off top end after a breif deceleration..... no more flat spots in accelerating now and the RPM's stay in the peak powerband.
