Please help me choose!
« on: October 07, 2011, 01:58:41 PM »
Hi all first post so please be gentle!
I have to chose between two scooters: I've owned a zuma for 4 years now but it will now be replaced with either:
1. 2006 LC super 9 with 11000km  1200$CAD
2. 2008 air cooled with 10000km 1000$
3. 2008 air cooled with 5000km 1800$
Mind I haven't seen the scooters yet but I'm told they are in excellent condition and stock.
Which to choose????
Thanks in advance

As the original owner of a 2004 Super 9 (all original - no mods) I would have to vote for the liquid cooled model.  There's nothing like zinging around town on a cool Summer (or Fall...or Spring) night 48+mph on the great handling Super 9.  Excellent front and rear disc brakes also!   13,000km on mine.

I love it so much, I bought a new Kymco, and then could not part with the Super 9.

Thanks for the suggestions! I actually went to try the scooter out out, the 2006 LC and I found good speed but lacking acceleration compared to my bws yamaha stock, what could be the cause?
Thanks

First thing I would do is check compression. Mine only had 90, it ran, but was weak. Should have like 130 or 140. New piston and rings and it runs great.  Good luck, super 9's LC 's are  great scooters.

A good cleaning in the cvt may help and install some new springs...Hope you choose the L.C...lol
