Hello all from Australia New to scooters bought 2010 kymco vibe

[Escalus]

i know right vibe sux as a name...zx 50 sounds heaps better any way just saying gday and whats the main differences in the year models or isn't there much? also whats the first thing i should do to stop that bit of lag before you take off...?

[sidthesloth]

Differences arent too many, the earlier ones had a 10 mm wrist pin, later had 12mm, I am not sure what year the change was, about 2003 I think. Some have a kill switch, some dont, some have a dimmer switch, some dont. My speedo goes to 80 kmh, some go to 100, wish I had that one. I dont know about the lag but if you derestrict your cdi you will have more revs available at takd off, however, I would recommend derestricting the variator first. If you are so inclined, you can have a lot of fun modding these little scoots. And hey, welcome to the forum, a great place to be.

welcome to the forum.........on the variator, take off the outer drive face, you will see the variator drive boss inside/on the var. itself.pull this out and grind that lipped edge off.make it the same size all the way across. that will be step 1.   next, the cdi..

...Welcome to th' Forum........Escalus!....

..like that name!!

 

..variator derestricting involves removing the "shoulder" on your scoot's variator drive boss, or just replacing it with a purchased boss that has no shoulder...


..you've come to the right place for increased knowledge....


peace
