Super 8 / Gear up kit
« on: November 21, 2010, 10:07:40 PM »
Just a bit of advice please,

I bought a 10% gear up kit for my Super 8 and as advertised it takes away the restriction that the 139QMB engine has at about 45mph. So because these are bigger gears, how much faster would the scooter go, are we talking late 50's, late 60's??  ???

Super 8 / Reduction gearing
« on: October 31, 2010, 10:41:21 PM »
My scoot makes a strange kind of knocking/scratching noise when it hits 45mph. I have read on the forum that the S84T's can only reach this speed as the reduction gearing is too small or something. So I want to upgrade it to allow it to do 50+ easily as I am alos going to purchase an 80cc kit for it as well.

Can anyone suggest reduction gearing to solve the problem?? ???

Super 8 / Brake light only works when tail light is on!!??
« on: October 27, 2010, 09:48:17 PM »
Hi guys.. can any of you work this out?

My brake light has been playing up stupid with me the last few weeks and at the beginning of every ride I had to make sure the brake light was workingm if it wasnt I had to back the rear carrier down and it nudged something in the rear cluster unit and the brake light would work when the brake handles were pressed. However just now my brake light wont work at all. When my lights are OFF and the tail light is OFF my brake light will not work at all. But when I put either side lights or headlights ON and my tail light comes on, my brake light will also come on and stay ON without me even pressing the brake handles. So now at night Im riding around with my brake light constantly ON it wont go OFF.

Do any of you know what is wrong/what I can do??

Super 8 / Speedo not working??
« on: October 03, 2010, 03:08:53 PM »
Hi all,

My speedo is not working. It shows nothing during riding.. the needle doesnt move and also the mileage on my clock doesnt alter either. I had a look at the front wheel.. spinned it round a couple of times and there seems to be like crunching of the bearings inside.

Do any of you know how to rectify it??

Thanks.

Super 8 / Headlight bulbs
« on: July 25, 2010, 04:08:17 PM »
Im looking to change my headlight bulbs for something with a bit more brightness and intensity. As well as being more "sporty lokking"  :P

I was thinking of these: http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_710165_langId_-1_categoryId_165582

They are quite powerful.. 12V 55W and use Xenon gas as well. But will they be too powerful for the bike and demand too much of a power load? As I think the stanard ones in the S8's are 12V 18W

Super 8 / Scoot STILL refuses to go past 70km/h??
« on: July 12, 2010, 05:02:37 PM »
Well I can say now I have done a lot to my bike now and after all this modding it still plainly refuses to go past the 70km/h - 43mph barrier, the power just cuts even on down hill as if there is another restriction.

I have:

Derestricted the variator - Got a Polini race one. It has 5.6g rollers which seem to run smooth and fine.

Derestricted the CDI - The violet/pink wire is cut (only one) and is tapped up.

It has been upjetted to an 82.

It has a new Leo Vince exhaust which yesterday I also removed the manifold cone from so the exhaust is now derestricted (I thought that doing this would solve the problem but it hasnt it still cus the power at 70km/h.


I cant think of anything else that would need doing to it  ???


Please help  ??? :-[

Super 8 / Engine oil all gone???
« on: July 10, 2010, 05:06:59 PM »
Hello guys... wondered if you could help me... when my bike went in for a service a few weeks ago they noted that the engine oil was very low, only 300cc approx drained out. They replaced it with Motul 5100 10w40 4T engine oil. But now I'm very worried.. I've just come to check my oil today to find that when I wipe the dipstick clean and put it back in for checking.. when I take it out.. no oil is shown what so ever. I am really quite concerned about this. Considering that it has had fresh new oil about 3 week ago and I have done about 1100km since the service, is this normal? It's not a two-stroke so doesnt burn oil and therefore shouldnt need replacing all that often? It's weird how it has all gone this quick? There is no leaks either as overnight when I come to it in the morning there is no oil on the garage floor so if its not losing oil.. what can it be?

Super 8 / 12v socket installation
« on: June 06, 2010, 07:33:29 PM »
Hi guys..

Bit of advice please.. I am looking to install a 12v scooter socket for my Super 8, so that when I am out and about and my phone gets low on battery I can charge it up.

I am looking at this 12v socket: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/12v-Scooter-Cigarette-Socket-Lambretta-Vespa-Piaggio-/330439675359?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item4cefbd4ddf

I already have neon lighting controlled by a switch connected directly to the battery. What I want to know is if I also connect this socket directly to the battery as well as the neons (Which I rarely use and are usually always off but still connected up), will it be too much of a demand having two power demands? Also when anything is not plugged into the 12v socket and the igniton is off.. will it still draw power? I hope not. It should only draw power when something is connected to the socket yes?

Thanks for any help.. much appreciated.

Super 8 / Scooter won't start?
« on: June 03, 2010, 03:14:45 PM »
Hi guys..

Well its not the scooter's fault it isn't starting.. its mine. I was messing with the wires that connect to th CDI unit to try and install some neon lighting but then found out they dont go there.. anyway I wrapped some wires together and tried starting it and the wires frazzled and smelled a bit. I have put everything back in its original position and now the scooter doesn't start. It turns over and tries to kick in but it just doesnt.. even the kick start wont work. I think I've really done it  :'(

All the electrics.. indicators/lights and battery etc work fine but it just wont start.. (it tries too but it just doesn't kick in).
The wires look a bit brownish/black now.. I checked th fuses as well and they are all ok.. I am wondering if I have blown the CDI unit or the wires??

My bke was working fine and perfect until I decided to mess with it :-\

I have a mechanic coming out to have a look at it.

Do any of you guys know whats up??

Super 8 / Engine rev's high when rebound the main stand??
« on: May 24, 2010, 06:49:17 AM »
Hello all, I am new here, but have had my Super 8 50 4 Stroke for about 4 weeks now and I love it, it's so economical and easy to ride.

I just have a problem though. When the scooter is on the main stand, the engine starts and turns over very slowly and doesnt turn the back wheel and it jut keeps the scooter ticking over smoothly, slowly and quietly. However when I leave the engine running and push the scooter forward and put it off the main stand, when any weight is put on the back wheel, the engine revs go quite high and the clutch kicks in and tries to move the scooter forward, causing me to keep the back brake pressed while stationary. This happens whether the engine is hot or cold, it doesnt matter. I suspect it may be the Automatic Choke, but I dont really know what it is?

Can any of you help with this problem?

Many thanks,

Steve.
