Movie 150 / Re: Movie performance upgrades
« on: January 09, 2015, 02:04:24 AM »
Zombie I get what you mean by keeping the air box, but my Movie is just a toy, I dont have to ride in the wet weather, unless I get caught in a florida summer squall. I thought the bottom of the air box might be a good place to open up, between the CVT cover and airbox. I could open a couple 1.25" holes. If it did not work out I could always repair the holes. Or Do you think it gets enough thru that snorkel even after a pipe and new jetting

BettenANDlosing, you said you striped out all the emissions crud. I would like to talk to you about that some time, because I would like to do the same. There are a lot of what appear to be vacum lines, to the air box, carb, cylinder head. Do you plug these holes or do some need to be left?

Thanks for all the replies, I will have to do a little more research. It is a good idea to look up part numbers of things like the variator and compare them to the super 8 part numbers. What is the reason to leave the air box. Does it not restrict airflow?

Movie 150 / Movie performance upgrades
« on: January 08, 2015, 07:16:35 PM »
I recently acquired a Movie 150. I like the pep of the motor but I feel like it is so restricted because of the stock airbox and exhaust. Because there are so few Kymco Movies out there, I am having a hard time finding any information on upgraded parts for this scooter.  I see a lot of parts for the Kymco super 8 150, but I am not sure they will work, is the Movie a a GY6 motor? I would like to add a Two Brothers pipe, or something similar. I know the airbox will need to be opened up and the carb will need to be rejetted. Another thing that should be addressed is upgrading the CVT. If there is anyone out there that has worked on this scooter or any suggestions, that would be appreciated.
