Super 8 / Re: 13 50cc 2T mods?
« on: July 02, 2016, 03:48:59 AM »
Greeting Again forum!  It's been a good while, just checking in...I bought this same scooter ('13 50 2t) for my son. He did some upgrades and didn't really use it to much. He dropped it off for me to use this summer...having fun riding it.  It has a Naraku pipe that looks and sounds nice, Malossi perf. variator upgrade, and 86 carb jet.  It runs pretty well, and gets a good balance of take off/top end.

One question regaurding this 'snorkle' to the air box from previous pipe. This hose assembly is stiil running up into the air box. ?  hmm. He said the shop that put the pipe on and did carb set-up left the hose as it is now.  I think I will remove it and close off pathway.

thanks in advance if anyone can offer info or suggestions on this. Keith

I call my super 8 "The POS I should have never bought".

I call my People 250 "Rolling Elephant"

Wow Pimpy 0_0 - I am very happy with my 2013 Super 8 50 2T!  Haters gonna hate.  She has yet to get a name...only about 50 miles otr at this point.

Here is the picture of my new scoot!  Just under 50 miles on it so far...break-in is just so not fun!  I am getting tired of riding around my neighborhood already.

2013 Super 8 50 2T - have not decided on her name yet.

Super 8 / 2013 Super 8 2t

Hello!

Just brought home a new Super 50 2t - yes!  I am a veteran rider...but have been away from scoots for several years.  This forum helped me a great deal with my final decision on what to buy. Thanks! Also a shout out to Pimpy1...he has already been a good help to me as well.

So now I am ready to start researching and making my wish list for performance upgrades.  I don't want to do a 70cc kit...but do think I will try to go right up to that point.  I do have the smooth boss and #82 jet that I got with the scoot.

Here is what I am considering; Variator, airbox, exhaust...maybe stiffer springs.  I like that exhaust ideas from Pimpy1...looks good and helps performance, but not a red flag for our SC lawboys.

I know it's a bit of work talking to the noobs with all of our excitement and non-stop questions...but help and assistance is greatly appreciated.  Thanks, Keith

Very well done sir! Thanks for taking the time to post this info for everyone...anyone thinking about getting a Super 8 should benefit from your experience.  Are you still in Asheville btw...awesome town!

@ Pimpy1 - I got the 2 stroke!  (2013 model in Red!) I am so pumped...glad I did my research...and this forum was a big help. And I did indeed get the smooth boss and the jet...thanks & good looking out!  I think I will wait until I am good and broken in before I make the changes.  (Unless I get word otherwise.)  The service manager helped me load it up for transport to may house...75 miles of highway between this particular dealer and my place.

He also talked to me about the rollers.  He said stock were 9g, and I should get 6g in when I do the mod.

Any help or tips are welcomed.  Thanks!

It been a good while since I had a scoot...many years ago in Germany I had a Peugeot 150, can't remember the model, but it was pretty cool. I also had the pleasure of owning a late 60 Vespa...should have brought them home when I packed out.

Hello! New user, first post.

I just picked up a Super 8 50 today at Hager Motor Sports in Rock Hill, SC.  I have been looking around and doing research for months...trying to make a final decision on what to get.  I had all but decided on an Agility 50, but they had a few 2013's left that were special deals...and then I saw it...the Super 8 - I knew I had to take one home! $1800 and change...and I feel like this was a very good deal.   ;D

I am very pleased.  I would have been happy with the Agility I am sure...but this baby is so much better.
