TOP SPEED--AM I CRAZY OR DID A 50CC KYMCO SUPER 9 DO 52MPH

[0BARK4322]

JUST WONDERING IF THE SPEED IS RIGHT--52MPH (SPEEDO ONLY SAYS 50MPH)ON A SLIGHT DOWNHILL AND MORE ON THE TACH ""WOW"" FOR A 50CC SUPER 9 WITH REV LIM & BOSS DE-RESTRICTED---HAS ANYONE GOT MORE WITH SIMPLY MODS AND IF I DO EXHAUST WILL IT DO MORE

Congratulations!  You have entered the zone of super fine tuning!   The spedo is usually a bit optimistic, but your probably pretty close to 50mph.  I have found it very difficult to achieve over 52mph (on spedo) with my zx50.  It has been much trial and error with trying to fine tune the carb to get that little motor to spin faster!  It is possible to get yours faster, but not by any simple mods I know of.  A new exhaust may help, but you will probably need a new intake/carb to really see an improvement.

I just finished posting on your other thread. There are a few things you can think about! How does the theme from the Twilight Zone go?

[Shaka]

Something like this?!

[zombie]

How the FRIGG did you find that?

[Shaka]

Wasn't very hard!  Surf Canyon works great!

[zombie]

You LIKE that huuuhhhh!  I just don't see why it dosent work w/ Opera!

[Shaka]

I've never used Opera, I just use google.

[zombie]

I use Opera 10.? I had Chrome, and firefox. Opera has a lot more features that  apply to the real world. I found it faster, and easier. I am still a basic noob though.

I have a ZX that does 50mph with a aftermarket variator and cdi derestriction, a People50 that does 50mph with a derestricted boss drive and derestricted exhaust and a Yup50 that I just bought yesterday that went from a 35mph stock speed (I expected 30mph, just like every other scooter but was surprised by 35mph), I did the cdi modification and it shot up to 40mph.  Later today I will do the boss drive and see how fast it will go.

Shaka is getting frustrated. Perhaps you may have an idea for him. Keeps bouncing on the 50mph mark when he should be closer to 60 w/ his mods.

[Shaka]

Yes- VERY frustrated!!  I will accept any ideas!  What's your setup yaj?

[yajblackburn]

My setup is stock.  Just the aftermarket variator and the cdi modification. Stock cylinder, stock exhaust, stock carb, stock airbox.......stock everything else.  Maybe I'm just really aerodynamic

[Shaka]

Wow, mine would only do about 42mph with the CDI and stock but unrestricted variatior!  You must be aerodydamic, I don't know, I'm pretty skinny though!

[yajblackburn]

Well us skinny meme's do have that areodynamic ability, I'm 6'3 170.  My ZX is not just a derestricted boss drive, the whole variator/weights were replaced with a high performance one with a different angled face plate and variator face.  I never just derestricted the boss drive with stock variator to see the difference.  I got the variator from VT Cycles in Hawaii for around $60.00.  I believe it was a Kelli racing variator, not sure what gm the weights are.  On a flat nice stretch it will go over 50mph....a nice paved road with no wind that is.  On average it's around 50mph  I once got it to almost 60mph going downhill.....and it wasnt scary at all, it was actually quite comfortable.
