Super 9 / Polini Variator
« on: May 03, 2014, 07:01:51 PM »
So I am ordering parts from SPI but I had a question?

Should I order an upgraded variator upgrade spring also if I get the Polini Variator or does it come with an aftermarket one already that fits?

I'm thinking that I might need to order a spring but just wanted to confirm.

BTW...

What is the main difference between the Malossi Fly and Delta Clutch?

I know that one is almost double the other in price but I also notice that it looks like the Delta would be more able to tune specific to your style of riding.

I don't know if that is something that I would necessarily need but it would be a nice thing to have if I plan on really dialing in my scoot.

I will definitely get ahold of him so I can make my Sup9 "Scoot"!

I'm putting together the "Grocery list" and what he suggests on top of what I "think" I need I will get.

:D

Thanks very much!

BTW...I plan on documenting in photos each and everything I do to the Sup9.  I work at Apple as a Creative (Instructor) here in Denver and also shoot professional hockey and lacrosse.  So I kinda know a thing or two about making good in depth videos and photo presentations about stuff.

As soon as things start showing up I will start the tinkering!

Ok well looks like I am going to be doing the 70cc upgrade!

I did a compression test this morning and it averaged about 85psi.

So looks like I need to make a grocery list of things to get.

I found out also that the scoot is all stock and there has been no aftermarket upgrades done on it.

I didn't go out and check top RPM because I know that considering I will be making some major changes to the scoot those figures will completly change.

As a heads up again IM a tall and big guy so I need to set this up for that.

So now I need to know exact part numbers and such of what to put on it so I can get it to "Scoot"!

;D

So when I had my last Sup9 in 2005 I purchased it brand new.  So I never needed to do a compression test because of that.

So what is the best way to do one now that I have the proper device to perform the test?

The best suggestion I have is do a compression test, and see what you have. It should be 120psi or better.

How does acceleration feel/sound? Do you have one steady rpm from a dead stop to full throttle? Or is there a point it feels like it "shifts" gear.
What are the top speed rpm's? What are the cruise speed rpm's? Factory carb/airbox? Factory pipe?

Most important... How much mulla ($$$) do you want to put into it?

No matter what you do to it 55-60 is about top speed for the engine/gearing. Josh or slinger would know if shorter gears are available.
 Sooooo Bottom line is you can make more power, and get better Accel., higher cruise, and smoother transition of the cvt but to know where to begin you have to answer those questions i posted

Acceleration feels constant to me but I do feel at certain points it does "shifts gears".

Haven't checked the top or cruise rpm's so I will test that out this weekend when it's warmer.

I will check and do a compression test on it this weekend also.

It's the factory air box and pipe.  Will look at the carb but I would guess it's stock also.

I was also planning on checking on the roller weights and figuring out if they we're stock or not or at least finding out what weight they are.

As far as money goes, lets just say I hate the word "frugal"

 ;D

So as far as the Contra spring is there a specific color that I should get?

Now also understand that I haven't had a chance to look "under the hood" yet at my Sup9 and see what the previous owner did to it.  It will keep a good constant 45mph on the flats and I can get to 55 on slight downhills.  So I know something has been done to it so far.

My goal is more top end speed.  I don't care about off the line as I really am not using this as a racer.  I want to also have better constant speed when going up hills.

I plan on tearing apart the bike this weekend and looking into it and seeing what I already do have and then go from there.

Do you have specific part numbers or such of which variator and other parts to get?

Also as far as exhaust goes.  If I take the stock muffler off and it still has the restrictor "Venturi" or washer thingy at the end of it that goes into the engine head.  Will it help much if I do take that off with a disc grinder and un-restrict it?

And what in the aftermarket exhausts make them be better than the stock?

So is there a specific place and also size of what the holes should be?

Thanks for the initial help...now the real questions.

Originally I wanted to do the 70cc upgrade but honestly from how it's performing I don't know if I really need it.

It's running a good clip between 40-50mph depending on grade of hill.

So if I don't want to do the 70cc upgrade what all should I probably do to it besides the exhaust?

Variator, Kevlar belt, clutch...etc?

I am a tall guy 6'3" 230lbs and I am going to use this around Denver as my street photography commuter as driving my car just becomes a hassle when I want to park and shoot.

A lot of the streets I traverse on are 45mph so I would like to up-tune the scoot so I can keep a constant 45mph+ speed.

Thanks for the help

So it really doesn't make much difference in upgrading it for more breathability?

Only other question to ask is where are the mirrors?  Those seem to be missing from the photo.

So I am now starting to get ready to upgrade the Sup9 with the 70cc kit and such. 

What recommendations do you have for an air filter upgrade that doesn't make the scooter sound like I actually removed the muffler?

Dunno...but I get my parts from Racingplanetusa, mopedhospital and stooterworks

Stooterworks or Scooterworks out of Chicago?

Personally if the deal feels good when you spoke with the individual I dont think you can really go wrong.

I just picked up a 2004 myself here in Denver and I got it for $1,100.  The thing was in pristine condition and the owner of it was very nice.  I even picked it over a 2003 version that was in just as good condition that was $100 less.  The owners of both bikes were very nice but in the end going for a year newer was the better deal.

You can't really go wrong with these babies as you can upgrade them so much it's scary!

When I originally lived in Madison, WI the owner of the local scooter shop turned me on to them and said the Super 9 was probably the best all around for the money scooter in the Kymco lineup for what all you could do with it.

Yes there were other scooters and the Kymco line is just amazing with build, quality, and performance.  But Im a larger (taller) guy and the Super 9 is so versitaile for what you can do with it.
