First off hello everyone I'm new to scooters but have rode/raced motorcycles some years ago.
I have a 2013 Kymco Super8 150cc it runs ok but I would like to wake it up.So here
are some of my thoughts and this is where you can help/advise.
1 Some kind of exhaust but don't want real loud this is for street use.
2 How about a 30mm carb with pump
3 a different intake manifold & air filter
4 Improvements to ignition cdi box? coil ? iridium plug?
5 new cam & what one do I choose?
Now I will sit back and see what is recomended
Thank you all

macgyver150 Hi I'm new to the scooter scene to but what I've read in this forum a 30mm carb. is way too big the cdi up grade is a no brainier every one does that.as well as the air cleaner .the iridium plug can't hurt I up graded to one as well.as far as a cam goes wait and see what Alley or Cyborg has to say these guy know there scooters and can guide you in the right direction good luck and welcome to the scooter world.

I'm with John. Are you looking to whip any race bike you see on the street or are you looking for better mileage or what?
But my first recommendation is to always check out and get rid of the PAIR or EGR system. You'll pick up power and fuel economy at the same time.

Now I will sit back and see what is recomended Thank you all 1A. free flow exhaust will not do much for you with a stock motor. 2A. Bigger carb without adding Displacement is a waste. You can just upjet your current carb for the stock motor 3A. Free flow Air Filter and Free Flow muffler will help a bit because you will have to upjet the carb. 4A. All that will give you easier starts, better mpg and with the performance CDI a little kick on the low end due to advanced timing. 5A. Cams are for low end or high revves which do you want. Top end or bottom end. But you have to tell us what you want and expect top end or bottom end or little of both. But remember to get little of both you give up a little on either end. Or you can go lots of good low end or lots of good top end. But the best bang for your bucks is work with your CVT first get that tuned right for little more ump off the line and little more top end. Then you can work on the motor for more power. Alleyoop |

Thank you all for your input so far. What I'm
Looking to do is have a good strong reliable
Street bike. This one is not bad but any
Improovement would be nice. I have even
Concidered a complete 180 Motor with the
Thought that any improvements would work
With a new motor.
