Yeah, a little over 30mph sounds about right, Cardie. Wow, a Super 8 at 16!!! I'm jealous, I didn't get my first scooter 'til I turned 43, lol. hahaha. You are gonna love it! What color is it? You have a pic of it yet? Good luck on your test!  :)

Its blue and yellow, ill upload a pic later once I find out how! Cheers :D

Is it safe to just cut this rev limiter wire, I mean, is it there to stop the engine over revving or just to limit the power? Can an engine of this size actually over rev or just get to its own natureal limit? I dont want to take it out and give it full throttle and find that the engine overheats or smashes the valves to pieces at 14,000 RPM!

Cardie...
 
welcome to the fold.  I was at my local shop this weekend and saw the exact scoot you have.

sa-weet!  I'm thinking of saving up for the 150cc version, same color.

hit the forum hard and often...
read old posts to help catch up...
ask any question you need answerd...
don't be afraid to derestrict when you are ready, its easier than we all thought.

Everybody else...

32 and its my first scoot, my mom wants one now... she's retired.

yup.  Check the how to and other areas.  You can cut deep on that side of the cdi and not have a problem.

What about this bolt in the middle of the heat shield on the exhaust? Is this holding anything inside the exhaust or just a service hole or restricting the air flow out of the exhaust?
