Hey guys Just got a super 8 last week. Bike seems to be in pretty good shape. Airsal topend (brand new) TK pipe, aftermarket var, kev belt, good clutch etc. Rockets to 45mph Other then a wierd vibration at cruising speed seems good overall.
Problem im having is random fuel delivery issues. Namely right after i fill up the tank! I ride about a block and the bike dies... Every time! I think it has something to do with the vacuum fuel pump @ tank?
Anyone have this issue?
-
Yup! vacuum... try loosening your fuel cap...
-
yeah makes perfect sense. i wonder if the fuel cap can be serviced?
Other then this this issue and the weird cavitation/vibration at speed this bike is a beast!
-
What kind of vibration? Try inspecting your motor mounts..
-
It might be belt flutter or something. Only happens at 35+ Very slow vibration. gonna try and see if wheels are bent this morning.

Well the bike is a serious screamer. Have not worked out the problem but all signs point to a weak vacuum fuel pump. I order a mikuni one. We shall see!
The vibration seems to be lessoning it may just be the new piston/rings breaking in.
On a side not these bikes ride AMAZing. I've rode enough scoots to say this bike hands down has the best handling of any ive owned before it.
