Super 8 150 / Re: CVT rollers top speed question
« on: May 02, 2017, 11:50:35 PM »
guys, every time I put a chinese part from ebay into this thing, the scoot looses 1-2mph. so after replacing variator the thing goes around 48mph on a straight road.
I'm done. will prob donate it or do a non operation once registration expires in september. after 5 years of heavy riding in busy city traffic this thing is beaten down badly overall. the steering column is loose, weird noises coming out everywhere, plastics are broken off. oil leaking somewhere. 5 years/8k on this thing is like 15-20 years on a car.

Mr Paul: so i replaced the carb with chinese for .20 usd (thing sucks I know that).  emptied puke tube
the carb prob gave me -1mph at best lol. but doesn't die when cold/idle.
might clean the kymco one and put it back at some point.
going to to install  new fuel filter (chinese was leaking), have new variator, belt and clutch pad. if those things don't do it I'm done with this thing.

Technical | How To / 5w40 synthetic oil ?

I did put it in yesterday. in hope to achieve higher top end (which it did not). but engine feels smoother during acceleration.
Wondering if this will cause any issues....

Technical | How To / got new carb - had to remove evap (CA only?) system
« on: April 22, 2017, 07:37:48 PM »
I figured it is easier to put a new 20usd carb in, then clean the old one. what I did not realize that new carb has no evap connector. this comes from the tank. btw, dumbest thing ever, I see first hand how stupid gov regulations make things more expensive (pretty sure scoot would be 50$ cheaper without this).
so I disconnected everything, and let the hoses hang freely, thing runs great. I suppose this won't cause any problems in terms of performance?

guys, look at the pic. where is it??? did it fall out? how does this scooter even go? would this mean that it runs super rich? I can't get it above 52mph, would that explain it?

guys, so my wife, which weighs 80 pounds or so less, got EXACTLY the same speed as I - 52mph straight road. slight uphill thing drops to 48 or so.
something is wrong here.....I wonder if engine took some damage, some time ago, when I did oil change, only 200ml / 8oz came out.
I didn't check it forever then...I know those things eat oil even when new.....
I also noticed some oil residue on the CVT and air filter cover, no idea where this is coming out. engine sounds good......
how hard is to do carb/engine components stuff ?

I did put 15g rollers back in. I reach about 51mph max. I think the 17g put me at 52-53mph max.
I don't know if its because they are more cheap rollers. but honestly I won't pay 50+usd for pulleys, just to learn that i get maybe +1mph.
I did replace the spark plug with NGK standart. before I had performance brisk plug. it sounded differently, and I think it prob gave me another 1-2mph.
so after doing, engine oil, cvt oil, valve adjustment, rollers, plug - I lost 1-2mph lol. (probably because of plug)

yeah I did tire pressure is fine. still have stock tires on it.
man those 17g roller truly suck.

I believe that will get you back up to speed. One small thing, have you checked your tire pressure? I am absolutely with you on losing weight! (But spending money on parts is easier for me  :))

replaced spark plug, adjusted valves, replaced air filter  - were all off/dirty - 52mph, no difference
last thing I have coming is 15g rollers, I do feel that the 17g might in fact slow it down 1-2mph, due to rev limiting
also dumped a carb/injector cleaner into the tank, maybe it will help some, don't feel like doing more advanced work for an extra 2mph.
I guess loosing some weight will help a bit too.

Trumper: countryside WI, everybody goes 55-60. if you go 50 they overtake you. trying to squeeze some extra juice out of it for fun. I have a cruiser too, this is just the fun bike I can take into pieces lol.
the injectors is a good idea....i noticed bike is hesitating when launching often, sea foam does help for a while, but comes back quickly

sorry typo, scoot is 2013, 5 years old. I just checked the belt, looks good.

I replaced the rollers, some cheap OEM 12g for some less cheap 'performance' style 17g. look like pulleys, just cost 1/3
accel is noticable lower, top end +1mph. 53 instead of 52.
i'm disappointed. the rollers really don't seem to make a differnence.

I have a new spark plug coming and an air filter, but I have a feeing that there is no easy way to increase top end

scoot is 2003, 5600miles. reading that belt should go futher....
i weigh 250 and gave him hell as a daily commuter in L.A.
like you mentioned I need to adjust valves, wasn't done since 2k or so. plug was changes at 2k as well. air filter at 2k as well.
time to do some spring cleaning....
ordered 17g rollers as well, curious to see what diff it will make

I replaced my CVT roller to 12 Gram which I ordered a while ago to increase acceleration (which it did  very slightly). my top end is exactly 52mph.
since I moved to the country side, I need better top end instead of acceleration.
what weight should I buy? how much difference can it make?
when I got my kymco new, I could go 55 easily, after 4 years or so, i barely get to 52. another reasons for this? the tension on my throttle cable  is good.
