General Discussion / Re: How many miles on your Kymco scooter ?
« on: October 03, 2014, 06:24:50 PM »
I just got one. A 2002 Super 9, water cooled. It has 7700 miles on it, and as near as I can tell, nothing has been changed. I was told the governor has been messed with, I have no idea what that means. Haven't had it long enough to know what MPG I can get.

Read up on everything CVT related you can find. That will give you plenty to do in the winter.

I had that once, took a lot of shots to cure... ::)

Thanks Zombie and maddog.
I am still just getting used to this new toy. I have owned and ridden many 4 stroke bikes over the years, this is my first scooter.

I haven't even checked the plug, and I know I need an air filter. It has 7700 miles on it, so I am betting there are some maintenance items due. I plan on putting it up when the weather turns and doing all dat good stuff.

Right now it stalls in the morning, but once it warms up a bit no problem. Again, the most I have done is new battery and fresh hi test gas.

I do love the feel of air in the hair and bugs in my teeth!  :D

Got my 2002 S9 a new battery and she scoots good!

Well, pretty good....is it normal to have to rev to about 4 grand to get going? The scoot sat for a while, so I am wondering if corrosion may be on the centrifugal (?) clutch (if that what is is called) or maybe my manly 225# is bogging it down. My son, previous owner, weighs in at 150# soaking wet.

Other than that, what is a good brand of 2 cycle oil to use. I know I don't want/need the cheap stuff.

Thanks!

Super 9 / Re: New guy....question about year

Thanks for the encouragement, Zombie. It was just taking up space in my son's basement and they're about to have a baby, and since he couldn't find a kid seat for it....well....I got it now!

Rode it twice, had to kick start it as the battery was dead. Then it stalls because the CDI needs 12V, or some such nonsense...so I am procuring a battery before it gets too cold to ride here.

Did you know that you have to mash the brake lever to get the starter to engage?
Found that out after I charged the battery, removed and tested the starter relay and when the troubleshooting guide said "won't start, do the brake lights come on"....a little light went off in my head.

I guess a lesson from my son would have come in handy, but he's got new daddy brains.....

Got her up to 45 or so, on a dirt road...little shaky. Any place I can get knobby tires for this scoot?

Never mind....after I cleaned the plate off of all of the gunk, I found June 2002 etched into the plate... ;D

Oh well, maybe next time I'll have a harder question for ya'll

Super 9 / New guy....question about year
« on: September 17, 2014, 03:49:19 PM »
Hi all,
New here and new scooter owner. I have a Kymco Super 9, and the motor appears to be a SH10B.
My question, how do I determine the year? Is it in the frame number?
Thank you.....I'm sure I'll be asking questions as I progress.

Yes, I do have the service manual, and I have looked through all 205 pages, but can't seem to find where the VIN is broken down into real info!
