The only other ways you could be running so rich are clogged air box, bad float level, or a clogged pipe/silencer.
Maybe try it one time w/o the silencer. Or cut a few holes in the Air box. You can always seal the holes. Maybe one 1" hole at a time so as Not to pass up the jets you have.



A silencer? WOW.. I would have thought they wouldn't run if that was clogged..
CAN richness be associated with any electrical issue?......at all?
My batt went dead after a cpl days, charged it. Was fine.... for a cpl more days.
Yesterday when i tried my horn, you could actually FEEL a "power loss?" when pressing the button. Horn very weak anyway.
My front brake switch would kill the engine when pressed....everytime... I was like WTH?...unplugged it and it stopped.
I have NO front on this thing. the turn signals aren't working cuz i haven't gotten the front plugged in so i know it's not my H.L or front turns... :D


OH sh**, I forgot the most important part........
The L.C S9 is a D.C. fired and won't fire w/o a good battery in the box and of course the brake switch pressed.
My black one and another wouldn't for sure all kymco's need the switch pressed.....
Haze WILL start...No brake switch, dead ass battery. Kicks right up.
Can anyone explain THAT part?.. :o  :-\


Well, it's 11:30 here now and i had went and placed the nose from the black s9 on Haze to verify my lights, switches....... Nothing.. OH, I did get the "passing" light...No Hi, No Lo beam, and no tail light.
I KNOW the lights work... They were on my black s9 and i dam sure rode in the dark (brake light works now, i plugged the front switch back in)Turns won't work unless all 4 are hooked up.
I did find a loose ground wire attaching under the voltage regulator. Charging battery now, hope that'll help now.

I hate electrical...... >:(

You found both issues I would have suggested. Either the regulator is fried, or a bad engine/chassis ground. Maybe from the new paint insulating your grounds... The DC fired scoot Cannot start without a battery/charge. The bat is what fires the cdi. so if your regulator is shot there will be no charge to fire the scoot. I would chase ALL the grounds on the frame/engine, and sandpaper under the bolts to get shiny new metal. You can always spray paint over it after attaching your grounds to prevent oxidation.

Well after re-tightening and re-arranging that groung wire AND
Re-re-adjusting the oil feed (for gp)
Taking mix to 1/2 out
Another plug
she ran a lot better today. Seemed a tad slower but it is a tad windy
I THINK i may have some clutch slippage?????
(rpms are up there but not as fast as it was and then you feel it "catch"/maybe fully engage??
Seems like it's more whiny then you can feel the "catch" of 2nd)... could actually feel it
That would be the flys, correct?...the flys are worn...(of course the belt is worn as well)


I had ordered a pen and did one tire on the ag. I send Word a pic. I LOVE this look.. Imma do all the tires...check this....



I know it's not perfect but for the 1st time... not tooooo awful but i love this....
Who's bloody with me?

I actually like it! Wish it was offered in the tire.
I was thinking why it was flooding. The Auto choke... It needs a proper ground to close. It may have been flooding it the whole time.

The more I see it the more I like it too. Adds some class.

What up guys?..
Yeah them painted letters change the whole look. REAL dam easy to go outside the lines though.

Well, i was having some cvt isssues the other day. Changed it around. Luckily i had received a new Bando OEM belt.
Bando belt....Naraku 5.2g rollers w/oem var
OEM clutch(again) w/worn out NCY 2000?(red)
My stall sux ass. I have none now. The 1st 20-30ft is crap now, BUT the mid felt a bit better and the top was 5-6MPH FASTER.. WTF...WTF...
It shouldn't be possible, IDT.... A shorter belt, UP .1 on the rollers shouldn't net a mph increase should it?????
I did make a crappy 1 handed vid yesterday but didnt get it up-loaded last night..
Well several actaully... A 15sec for pic messages and a 1-1/2min for a top shot....
Maybe my instrument cluster about to go...(think it came off a '02)
I finally have an update for Blacky.  ;D
AND a small update for Lil Red. 8)
The whole family will breathe TOGETHER again..  ;D  ;)

See here???????
This is an example of what i mean WTH...
A SHORTER belt, .1 heavier on the roller
You can see the rpm are lower in the vid with a higher top.... WTH?????
I took 2 other vids of the ride back home. My skills suck tho. Of course that was with my cell phone and not a real device. ::) 1 vid is about this length and the other is about 2 minutes. My ride on some of the back rds i have to take.


IDK WHY every time i post a vid that it does this double crap instead of just the reg vid shot as on the top.
Any ideas??  Well nobody uses photobucket but me i think. Maybe i copy the wrong link?????
