..it really grabs and sets you on your way, as long as you get it dialed in, along with the rest of your setup...

...here's mine, on nina, and it's the most torquey setup, take-off thru top speed that i've ever been able to dial...

..all these bits are seated in by now, and i'm really liking the way she's performing...

..i'll start at the beginning..

..malossi air filter, oem carb with a 38pj and a 122 main and a redneck needle mod that raises it .025", ngk br8hs (not hsa)  plug indexed to 7:00 (best i could get thisn), tecnigas next pipe( $75.00)

..using amsoil interceptor injected...

..malossi variator and drive boss with 6 gr dr pulley sliders, oem drive face..

..Gates BOOST premium 732-18.5-28 drive belt..

..naraku gy6 styled (unrestricted) driven pulley and torque driver, malossi blue 1500 contra..

..dr pulley HiT clutch set with 31kg clutch spring (next to stiffest) and 9.2kg pillow springs (stiffest)..

..with a warmed-up, hard throttle take-off, nina jumps at 8000  for about 1 second, then launches at 9200...

..maintains 9200 on a flat ground run up to 50 indicated...

..she will peg the speedo, and i mean peg against the side of the instrument panel @ 9800 on a downhill...

..never falls below 8300 up even my steepest hills...

..the best part is, that i can feel acceleration and torque throughout..and that makes riding this scoot ssso enjoyable...

Sweet! I have a tear rolling down my cheek. It's been a long road my friend.

..getting into, and keeping in the powerband was the toughest thing i ever tried to do...

..finally, i've hit the right combination of bits!!

..sad thing is, i have brand new torque spring base and new oem a50 pulleys i bought for this...

..don't really wanna mess with her now tho!!

[Rage]

What is this plug index you speak of? Also, do you have a link for the redneck needle mod? What does that do exactly?

Did you ever check out that 2wheelpros.com? I had a great experience there..... got the a50 pulleys cheaper there loaded with all the bearings than yamaha for just the pulleys....

[wordslinger]

..that would be at the very beginning of this thread, and it enrichens the fuel mix during mid-throttle, which is desirable when tuning to a free-flow filter and pipe...

[wordslinger]

..are they "KYMCO?"..

..cause that's what i wanted to buy, not a "compatible" pulley set, but real OEM...

[wordslinger]

What is this plug index you speak of?

..that's where you get the opening of the plugs electrodes pointing directly toward the exhaust port, by adding shims...

..supposed to be better that way...

..somebody said it was better that way, so it must be!!

Yes... real Kymco. Most of the label is in chinese...lol Kymco labels and all. I was very happy to see all the bearings included. Thought that was a, oversight on the website. Even the belt is Kymco/bando belt. I can send pics if you need.....

[wordslinger]

..sure!...pics are gooood...

[Rage]

..sure!...pics are gooood...

Now u have to wait. Im at work..... but rest assured, all kymco OEM parts

Sooo.... have the open end of the plug facing as close to 7:00 as possible?

[wordslinger]

Now u have to wait. Im at work

...me too...lol..



..no, on the super 9, the exhaust port is at the "bottom", so 6 o'clock would be closer...

..i always mark my plug with a sharpie, across from the gap, and try to get the sharpie mark straight up on top...

[Rage]

Any trick to getting off the nut holding in the clutch? I already got off the variator nut. Been searching you tube.... .I dont have a air wrench. I saw someone do it by just holding the brake and a wrench...... that didnt work

Electric impact wrench from Harbor Freight. About $45

Or, you could get one of these
