Super 8 / Re: 2013 Super 8 losing power.

I'd definitely check the compression if I were you. If the compression is getting lower, open the cylinder and see what's going on ...
This is usually the culprit then check your contra spring.

Super 8 / Maxing out a Super 8 50 2T. Need more info pls
« on: July 11, 2015, 04:00:21 AM »
Hi

Let me list what I have and what it's doing and lastly what I'd like to accomplish in here. All knowledge and experience are appreciated:

2012 Super 8 50 2T - In Colorado Denver

======Upgrades:======

Malossi 70cc BBK
Stock air filter - Snorkel out
Dellorto 19mm Carb - 91 main jet
Leo Vince ZX-R (Cone taken out)
Malossi Variator - White Contra spring - 6Gram rollers
Malossi Racing red torque springs


=======What's it doing?=========
 
--- 0-5 or 0-10mph is VERY sluggish, then it takes off with full power upto 35mph. Then crawls to 40, 45 and 50 wot
HOWEVER the SLIGHTEST hill, even one I didn't notice it's a hill, it'll make it hard to accelerate from 25mph and up... sometimes it even stalls at 30-35mph at WOT
when there's head wind or side wind.
Steep up hill kills it all the way to 25mph.

So what can I do to remedy this? I also want to be able to hit 60mph mark.


========The parts I'm waiting to be delivered next week:=======

Malossi Primary gear MHR 15/44
Malossi Delta Clutch + Wing Bell (then going down to a sports torque spring)
Malossi Torsion controller
Malossi Red contra spring 35%

Any help is appreciated.

Here are the parts I installed.

1. Malossi 70cc kit
2. Malossi Variator kit
3. Leo Vince ZX-R
4. 5.7gram rollers that came with my Leo Vince Exhaust.

I opened the stock carb and it has a #70 jet on it.

performace dramatically increased and after 15mph, the performance kicked in even more. Not sure what my top speed is, since I went beyond the 50mph mark in the spedometer.

Another thing is that I'm in Colorado.


A. Do I still need to re-jet?
B. Can I blow my engine up like this?

The stock jet is a #82 in the 2t super 8. The 4t might use a #70 but not the 2t. They are wrong about the #70.  You will not go lean with that. I lived in Red Feather lakes ( Mts near Fort Collins) area at 8000 ft in Colorado with not a problem. The exhaust is not that restricted in that scoot. My super 8 2t never got better the 60mpg. With or without the stock pipe.

1. Understood. Will change the jet to #91 . If it is indeed #70, should I still change it to #91?
2. Hmmm.... I already bought the Leo Vince SP3 exhaust... so I guess I'm stuck with it.
3. How do you do a tune up yourself btw? What is it that needed tuning every 2000 miles?
I don't want to have to pay sportique everytime couple of months for tuning if I can do it myself.

Thank you again for sharing the experience.

I'm not joking around... I'm a total newbie and know nothing about these scooters. I just had mine a week ago.

I'm sorry, I meant what do you think of #72? I contacted sportique again and they told me to make sure I use #72 or they will drill it out since they said that stock is #70.

The bike is bought in Indiana and shipped to Colorado.

And how do you check the MPG on this thing? Feels like the restrictions in the exhaust and everthing is causing it to eat more gas.

Thanks for the video, Pimpy, I have been reading all your replies here.

I actually need it to go beyond 50mph, and the above parts are what I was told to get.

The jet though... I'm in Colorado, so we have 1/3 less air here. Plus Sportique told me that they use a #72 , otherwise it'll become too rich.

1. What do you think? And why #92?

2. What do you think of this video: *he has 9 pparts to it and this is part 8)

Hi Guys,

New to scooters and forum here. Got myself a used Super 8 50 2T and found it only goes 27mph.
So I contacted Spi parts and they recommended:

1. Malossi 70cc Bigbore kit for peoples 50
2. Malossi Variator kit (white spring)
3. Leo Vince SP3 exhaust
4. #72 jet
5. Polini Kevlar belt

I just bought them all, but the thing is now... I have never taken a scooter apart before and I want to start doing so, but
I'm afraid of damaging the scooter even if I manage to install everything.

Can some of you give me an instruction of step by step or even better a detailed video so I don't mess up, especially on little little things
that I may miss?

Thank you
