The Cyclopedia Manual ... which supposedly was actually done by an American Mechanic and is missing the gefaws and big What? which happens in Chinese or Italian translations, is available in Kindle format ... which is kind of bizarre in itself.

http://www.amazon.com/2008-2012-Scooter-Service-Manual-ebook/dp/B00A44A9BW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1369778129&sr=8-1&keywords=Kymco+Super+8+150++manual

If you don't have a Kindle ... you can download a reader AP for free from Amazon. I browsed through about fifty pages of this (it's 671 pages long) and it is legible and coherent, but with out warnings and conversions to SAE volumes (such as .18L Rear drive lube could also be listed as 6.5 ounces) but it is better than trying to use the pathetic S8 50 manual which reads like it comes from a different planet, and isn't appropriate for the 150 anyway.

At least its something better than a total uneducated guess ...

Just got one by doing a search on Amazon, there is a Kindle version of the manual for about 25 bucks, instant download which is good. Only drawback is I can't print a page from the manual, can only view it on the screen.  Not a problem though, the service manual has lots more info than the owner's manual, and definitely worth the price.
