Did you know that Kymco was a Honda parts manufacturer before they started making their own bikes? Hope that helps.

Thanks again Vivo. Ripped off the variator 'n bits that go with it. Took it to a shop and tried to compare it to a honda dio variator. I read somewhere that might work.. Just my luck, they didn't have the parts in stock. Story of my life.
Anyway have blown the budget for this month with tires, weight rollers a new impact wrench etc.
I'll wait for the new stock (performance part) to come in and see how that goes. Failing that, I'll rip everything off and snap a few photos or search for some id, tags or numbers or something.
Thanks again. I'll let you know how it goes. Probably next month after I get a few $$ back in my pocket.

Wow..I'm excited for you too Luigi. How did the install go? I'm a newbie here and really starting to pick up a lot of interesting tips. I read somewhere else on this site about someone installing a bbk. How much did that kit cost you?
I'm in two minds at the moment. Tinker with my old Kymco or simply upgrading my bike to a newer one. It's really hard to find bits and pieces over here. Japan that is.
So have you installed the kit yet?

Thanks for the suggestion, Vivo. That brings me to the other problem I face...Communication barrier!! I will have a scout around (with parts in hand) and see where my limited Japanese gets me. I think also, the next warm, sunny day I will get out there and snap a photo of the old girl, upload it and see if anyone recognizes her.
I think I read somewhere that 2-strokes are getting harder to get in the US. We are facing the same challenges here in Japan. They aren't making nor importing these engines anymore..Shame!! Always been on a 2-stroke. Nice and easy..

Hey all,
Looks like I have found a good spot to find some answers. Or the pot of gold at the end of my rainbow. I live in Japan and while I realize this site is mostly american based I haven't been able to find any other Kymco fan gathering anywhere.
As the title suggests I have a "Kymco Sooner 50ss." I know I am going to need new variator, rollers etc.. They are quite worn. But everywhere I go leaves me with another dead end. No-one has anything on Kymco. The shop I originally bought it wants to charge an arm and a leg for even the simplest parts.
My question, well there are two.
1) What is the actual model of my scooter? Is it a ZF-50?
2) Is there another make that I can steal parts from? Maybe a Honda?
Sorry, that's four questions. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
