Super 9 / Re: Hesitates when starting then suddenly takes off

mine has done it since i have had it. although i have controlled it adjusting the mixture screw, but i can more "feel" the right ratio in the throttle. Just ease on the throttle slowly, and feed it at the greatest rate to power "feel" possible. if there is a better solution, or really correct answer i would love to know it. good Luck

Alrighty then, it was a 49cc. Found it stamped on the cylinder, duh. :) I am going back with the bbk, and was wondering if the aftermarket technigas exhaust and the 100 main jet in the stock carb will sufficient for cooling and ease the damage on the engine? I would sure appreciate the info.

And Rage, Im not sure how it was doing it, it just did. I ran mulitple variations of weights, put the carb kit on, and the rest of the mods, and it was ridiculous. I was never the guy on the scooter holding a line of traffic back for miles. I live in the mtns of NC, and my whole intent behind trying different things was to be able to climb these mountains around here. It was a feat but the super9 pulls hills like a beast, and the tranny almost switches gears like a manual, but an automatic.

Thanks Areo, Rage, Vivo, much thanks. This place is great and an absolute ocean of information.

well feller's, I think I found the culprit. i took the carb and intake off to look at the reed valves they seem to be fine, no fraying or cracking or anything that looks to be in bad shape. So i took the cylinder and head off and removed the piston to measure the wear, and it was missing the top ring. I didnt see any bits down in the crank case, but on the side of the piston it was some kind of heat fused into the piston. The cylinder didnt show any signs of something traumatic happening oddly enough. So, i used the micrometer to check the go-nogo specs to see how worn it was, and it is right on the border line of needing replacement. Actually, the bike was hitting around 12.5k but wasnt quite to 60... closer to 56 (on GPS.) I believe I will go up to the 70cc bbk.

To my knowledge, it is all stock as far as the cylinder and crank, but I have put 1500k clutch springs, different variator ramp, have went up and down in roller/slider weights, changed to a 1500 torque spring (which im thinking of trying the 2k), sigma 6 carb kit w/ 100 mj, and a hp coil wire, put a cold-air intake filter with a "manufactured" air scoop fabricated, aftermarket exhaust that i hve nearly gutted, and thats bout all i can think of now, although im sure my wife will say i have enough hours in it to fabricate an entire fleet of scooters. I run high test petro and royal purple 2t performance oil.

I do say the bbk isnt on it to the best of my knowledge, but i do have the cylinder off so if there are any known markers or numbers to verify either size, i would love to know. I too am amazed by this little beast.

wow, now that is what i call help!! Thank you, Areomyst. I had been listening to some advice that i knew wasnt most valid. I have been doing the research, but once again, i have found the best info right here. I will definitely check the reed valve, and probably check on a new CDI. Would the reed valve be making any noise before towards the "end of its time?" by chance. These frigging scoots are awesome and i would hate to let it go. Thanks again, i will check tomorrow and let all know.

mechanical as in what, the valves, rod, could a fuse be bad and still be firing but not letting it crank?

WOW!!! Awesome. I thought i was performing plenty of upgrading, but you have gotten the grand prize. And it looks incredible to top it off. I too will one day learn your kung fu scooter  skills.

I was coming home tonight whenever my bike simply dies on me. It ran great then all of a sudden, it started losing power, then pretty much bogged out and died. I pushed it up a hill on the side of the 4 lane, then rode it down to a parking lot where i started the diagnostics. I have done all the mechanic work myself including aftermarket exhaust, hp coil wire, iridium plug, carb jet kit, torque springs, clutch springs, roller weights, brakes, de-restricting sleeve, belt, installed night time parking lights in the factory brake light housing that look flawlessly factory. It was running close to 60 on the flats at about 10.5k rpm, awesome!! Till now. I dont know what is wrong but am leaning toward the worst end, as in a bent valve, broken spring, something. I would appreciate any advice, ideas, fixes, etc. I love my Super 9 scoot, and use it daily as primary source of transpo to and from school, work, and anywhere else a feller needs to go. Much Thanks in advance.

I do have fire from the plug, I have fuel, it splashes out of carb whenever air filter is off and my hand is choking it. I am not sure but thanks.

Right on and that truth I second. I also have a question about the intake vs. exhaust. Im not sure if its natural for the intake to be so loud. Its like the intake serves as the exhaust as well it is so loud. So I took the muffler off and dis-assembled it and the packing was completely stopped up. It had a cake off carbon that matted the fibers together. I shaved off what I could without feeling like it would harm it. Is that normal to be so loud or is there anything else I cam do.

Actually, love my kymco, I weigh about 170 and 5'11". If u consider that to be heavier. And im not the person that doesn't understand physics. I. Am in college for Engineering. But I wasn't sure about mixing the sliders with the rollers.

The 7 gram rollers are leaving the 5gram sliders with nothing to do, giving erratic performance. Try all 6 gram rollers, the sliders are getting hung up.
Its seems to be quite amazing. I replaced the mix rollers of 5g sliders and 7g rollers with all 5g sliders, and it ran almost perfectly today. Huge hill down road from my house that used to be a beast climbing at 25, today stroked up at 40 (according to speedometer). Kind of funny really, but im glad whatever it is. Although the bike is very close to being right-on, seems as tho there is something not quite right with the fuel/air mix. I have a cold air intake and custom fabricated a pipe that angles the filter toward the air, in an effort to ram-jet the carb. Im not sure if this is a power move or a bad idea? Comments again are welcome either way.

By the way, thank all that has taken the time to help a fellow Super 9'er in the efforts. I absolutely love this thing and want it rolling right.

LOL, as you commented I was writing about changing them all back to the same weights. Thanks

It had started this last night but I didn't put this belt on until today. The last mod was th 1500 torque spring. Could it be something else?

I have an '06 Super 9 with technigas exhaust, 100 main jet carb kit, 1500 torque spring, 1500 clutch springs, a belt that appears to be not quite the right size but i have researched and found it to be very close, a mix of 5g slider weights and 7g rollers, hp coil and plug wire, an NGK BR8HX iridium plug, open air intake filter.       I have made these mods, including cleaning out the stoppage in the muffler, and am still having issues. I live in the mountains of NC, and am trying to gear the bike for hill climbing and have a little fun on the straights and downhill. The bike starts out great from a cold start, but when I come to a stop, it doesnt want to drop gears back down and acts like the clutch is seized against the outer. I am relatively new to the scooter world and modifying, and am puzzled at the moment.

Please Help if anyone can!!!

Or tell me what is done wrong... either will be appreciated as both are a welcomed learning experience.
