Super 8 150 / Re: Burning smell after running for a few miles
« on: April 17, 2014, 05:15:32 PM »
I emailed the dealer and this is the exact response:  "The smell is completely normal. When the scoots are new, there is a product called cosmolene that is sprayed on the machine to keep it from weathering while it is crated. It will burn off and be good to go. That is the smell of a new machine!"

As for the smoke, it is just whisps. Nothing crazy. So I think I will be ok. Thank god for two year warranties.

Super 8 150 / [SOLVED]Burning smell after running for a few miles

Hey ladies and gents. I have a brand new scoot. 2013. I'm in the break in period right now. I noticed that after 3-10 mile ride the exhaust emits a foul smelling burning paint smell. I can also see a bit of smoke coming out from underneath the aluminum heat shields. Could this be packing material? Did anybody else get this?

Thank you for your time,

Super 8 150 / Aftermarket Exhaust options for a 2013
« on: April 17, 2014, 03:16:49 AM »
Hey fellow Kymcoians. I just purchased a brand new 2013 Super 8 150. I'm looking to put a new exhaust on it. I have 2 requirements.  1. It can't need other parts of the engine adjusted. My dealer said it was ok if I put one on and it wouldn't void the warranty as long as I didn't need to rejet or anything along those lines. 2. I can't make any physical modifications to the cosmetics. So. I've had my eye on two. The first choice is Two Brothers VALE. This exhaust looks great. I'm hesitant for 2 reasons. One. The reasons I listed above. And two. Because every part site I've been on lists the super 8 150 up to 2010. No exhaust for 2013. Has that part of the super 8 really changed since it's launch?  The yoshimura I'm also looking at. I'm a total newb here so. Thank you in advance for any advise!!!
