Im in NC as well.

Modded stock pipe actually does pretty well contrary to what people say.    I run stock carb (105jet), stock exhaust modded,  stock var, NCY clutch,  malossi 70cc sport cylinder.   Gobs of torque (pulls strong even with 2 peeps),  great accel,    tops out about 46 but thats all i want to stay outa trouble.   Tame sound and good mileage.

I have a TK pipe here but the 16mm carb cant keep up with it on 70cc cylinder and its tooo loud.

Might put a 21mm Delorto i have kicken around on for fun.

Super 8 / Re: 400$ to mod my scoot, what should I get?

Expansion exhaust to get more pep outa that 50.   Anyone will do just have to match it with jetting.        Ive never had the stock cylinder however.    Mine came with Airsal t6 which for 50cc is crazy fast with pipe.   If you want to be stealthy get Malossi 70cc kit and mod stock exhaust.     

Mine is modded stock exhaust, stock carb with aftermarket filter and 105jet,    NCY race clutch,   stock var,    Malossi 70cc sport cylinder.    I get 45mph and its tolerable noise wise.   ALOT of low end power this way and if you can believe it pretty darn good mileage.

Super 8 / Re: New to the Super 8 scene! bike rocks , when it runs right!

Well the bike is a serious screamer.    Have not worked out the problem but all signs point to a weak vacuum fuel pump.    I order a mikuni one.   We shall see!

The vibration seems to be lessoning it may just be the new piston/rings breaking in.

On a side not these bikes ride AMAZing.   I've rode enough scoots to say this bike hands down has the best handling of any ive owned before it.

It might be belt flutter or something.  Only happens at 35+   Very slow vibration.   gonna try and see if wheels are bent this morning.

yeah makes perfect sense.     i wonder if the fuel cap can be serviced?     

Other then this this issue and the weird cavitation/vibration at speed this bike is a beast!

Hey guys    Just got a super 8 last week.   Bike seems to be in pretty good shape.    Airsal topend (brand new)   TK pipe,  aftermarket var, kev belt,   good clutch etc.    Rockets to 45mph   Other then a wierd vibration at cruising speed seems good overall.

Problem im having is random fuel delivery issues.    Namely right after i fill up the tank!   I ride about a block and the bike dies...   Every time!       I think it has something to do with the vacuum fuel pump @ tank?

Anyone have this issue?
