Super 8 / Re: Super 8 50 Rear Tire Options?
« on: June 04, 2016, 01:20:15 PM »
Unfortunately no.  I've had no success with Google.  Looks like the major manufacturers and 2nd tier have our front tires, but not the rear 120/80/R14.  I'm curious to see if others have had success with 140/70/R14 at all.  I'm not very interested in the stock tires that are OM on the Super 8.

Super 8 / Super 8 50 Rear Tire Options?
« on: June 03, 2016, 09:10:19 PM »
I'm driving myself crazy attempting to look for a 120/80/R14 tire for my Super 8 50.  Has anyone had luck with a 140 at all?  I cannot find 130 either and am worried about the extra .37 inch width going to a 140/70/14.  I'd rub on the damn shock for sure.  Anyone have any suggestions or had any luck with anything?

Thanks!

Super 8 / Re: '13 Super 8 50 2T - Malossi BBK: Need Ideas for Carb size/Intake Options

Thanks all.  This is helpful. I'm going with the 19mm carb.

Do you think I could get away with modifying the stock air box, or would you suggest a cone filter??  I'm looking to keep the stock box and modify to reduce noise, but am aware I need more air.

Super 8 / '13 Super 8 50 2T - Malossi BBK: Need Ideas for Carb size/Intake Options
« on: May 11, 2016, 03:37:21 PM »
Hi all -

I've finally pulled the trigger on the Malossi 70cc BBK for my Super 8 50 2 Stroke.  I have a couple questions for the experts on the forum who've installed before or know what I need.  Please take note my current mods listed on my signature.  I am currently set-up to support the BBK, so I just need feedback on the below:

- Carb options: Would anyone recommend the 17.5mm or 19mm Carb? Is 17.5mm sufficient?  Thinking Naraku or Malossi. 

Naraku 17.5mm: http://www.racingplanetusa.com/carburetor-naraku-175mm-electric-choke-kymco-honda-p-166601-1.html?backcPathco=25&cPath=2_21356

Malossi 19mm: http://www.racingplanetusa.com/carburetor-malossi-phbg-kymco-sf10-p-314-1.html?backcPathco=25&cPath=2_21356

 - Air Intake:  I'd like to keep stock and modify if possible, but if that doesn't work, what would you all suggest?

Thanks!

You have a real nice simple recipe there w/o having to do a BBK.

Looks like its working well.

Thanks Chris.  I should be satisfied for a while before I get the itch to do anything else.  The only think I can think of is a BBK w/ a bigger carb down the line, but I'm happy the way it is.

I just threw in a #90 jet to my setup and I like the performance so far. Scooter seems to have a bit more pull and no bogging. Ill keep it in and check the plug for fouling in a weeks time.

Nice, let me know what you find!   I haven't updated anyone in a while, but I finally got the 6 gram Dr. Pulley sliders in and it's perfectly balanced.  I had the 5 gram sliders, but it was too light.

I installed the 5gram Dr. Pulley sliders last weekend.  Acceleration is good and top end is about 42ish.  I'm going to try 5.5 or 6 gram sliders.  While I feel the acceleration is better, I think I might be a tad too light.

Sounds real good. Had a nice cold Long Island Sound sunset ride last night.

Ill be posting my ADV Monster Model 40 auxiliary light mod soon.

Nice.  I'm in MN and the weather has been beautiful lately.  70s/80s.  I'm looking forward to a summer full of riding.

Yeah buddy!!!! Once you get what works best, get Dr. Pulley sliders in there.

Funny you mentioned the Dr. Pulley sliders! 

I actually just purchased the Dr. Pulley sliders off Amazon for $20.  5gram.  I figured those would work great, but maybe I should have tried to experiment with cheap 4 gram rollers.  It seems to run pretty well with 6.5 gram, but I can tell there is still a slight bit of lag.  Figured 5g would work well.

on another note, I appreciate your help on this forum Bettinandlosing and from Chris.  You both have been most helpful in helping me get my scooter the way I want it.  It's such a different ride.  Time, research, and a little patience is everything when modding these scooters.

Hey guys - I installed 6.5 gram rollers (all I had at this time) and what a difference!  I will be ordering lighter weights since I think it could run even better.  Thanks again for the help/suggestions!

Holy cow yeS!!! If I would have seen before you have 8.5g then yes thats the issue man!!! With a tuned pipe you might be as low as 4g rollers to hit the RPM range of that pipe!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, I feel like such a boob.  Tomorrow I will change the rollers.  Thanks for the help!

Update: So I put the blue Malosi (sport, not the red ones) clutch springs this week while utilizing the stock contra spring.  The acceleration is still sluggish up to 15mph then oens up. So I took everything apart and installed the purple Malosi contra spring.  I am still having the same issue with acceleration.  Is it the rollers being 8.5 gram?  Do I need to go down a gram or two?

These springs are baffling. Now the blues are stiffer than the reds.

I think I need something weaker than the greens though as Im in a lot of stop and go traffic. Maybe I should keep the stock spring on for now. Someone in another forum is saying even the green ones make him rev too much and is having issues in slower traffic.

Really eager to see how all works out for you.

I'm going to install this Wednesday.  I will update you then on the results. :)

Will aftermarket clutch springs fit on the stock clutch? Is there a certain brand we should look for ? I'd like to try a set of yellow or blues (just a step down from reds) myself.

Absolutely.  Here is what I bought.

Honestly I would start with the red and go from there. That pipe is high revving and needs the RPM to work right. It'll jump really good off the line once you find the best combo. I would order those off RP, might check if they have them in USA stock otherwise they will take months to get them in.

That makes sense.  I actually just ordered the springs (Malossi) off Amazon.  Should get it by Wednesday with Prime.  LOL.  2 day shipping is better than one month.  Thanks again for your help troubleshooting this.  I appreciate it.
