Super 8 restricted to 40km/h (25mph) by dealer
« on: May 10, 2011, 06:15:19 PM »
Just received my 2011 Super 8 50 2T today which is great but we have major power issues.

The dealership I got my Kymco from (here in Massachusetts) "threatened" that they would restrict the throttle to 25mph if I didn't get plates on the scooter.  Which is rediculous, and well, they did just that.  I checked out the CDI unit, and to my surprise BOTH pink wires (that you see in some CDI diagrams) were not present, but it's beyond obvious that the throttle wont give my bike much juice. 

I'm aware I need to derestrict more than just the CDI, but I need to find out where they "further" restricted my bike to 25 mph (stock I think it does close to 34mph) with the throttle. Downhill it goes around 30 something, but on a flat nothing more than 25.

I will eventually swap out the variator, rollers, main jet, air filter, clutch and springs along with a new exhaust, but I need to at least derestrict the throttle.  when I cut the CDI on my 2009 Agility it jumped from 32 to about 37mph instantly.  25mph is just unacceptable, and downright embarassing.

Thanks!
