IT FITS!
I have been having trouble with my stock clutch. It seems that after 3000 miles the clutch was protesting by being grabby and jerky.
I tried cleaning the thing and roughing up the pads, but that only helped temporarily.
I did a little research and found a good price on clutches (Velocita Performance Clutch $42) for the GY6 (Monster GY6 parts), which Kymco uses for the engine and drive train for the Super 8. The clutch I received was blue and looked different that the picture, but as you will see below, this was not a problem.
Along with the clutch, I ordered the recommended yellow torque spring for $14.
The part came via FedEx this past Saturday in a nice compact box. This was less than a week after I placed the order with ground shipping.
I have had the belt cover and clutch off many times, so that was no problem. Getting the large nut off the clutch assembly was a little tricky.
I had to use two clamps to secure the thing to a post. I then was able to muscle off the nut with a pair of large pliers, which is not the right tool, but I don't have an adjustable wrench that large. In any case, it worked. Be careful here as the whole assembly is spring loaded and will come apart quickly.
I was worried that this would be the wrong part, but
it fit perfectly! I needed my wife to screw on the nut as I held the assembly together, but it all went together well.
The whole job only took about an hour.
Let's face it, I was not hoping for my scooter to become a torque monster, and it didn't. What I did get was a nice smooth clutch feel, which is exactly what I wanted.
The better feel is more apparent when the bike is warmed up.
I was temped to get Monster GY6's "Power Pack 2", which includes the performance variator and weights. This probably would have increased torque a bit, but I am not complaining. Check out Monster GY6's hot rod scooters while you are looking at their website.
