Theres a google translate dropdown box to the right on the website to translate to your language.

Post by: Calothrix on May 11, 2010, 03:08:41 AM: Thanks guys. I found out Google even translates when you don't ask it to. For some reason, about 3 days ago, whenever I google something, the page comes back partially in English and partially in Dutch! I think our PC is possessed ???

Post by: alchemy67 on May 12, 2010, 07:49:21 AM: Really interesting write up there!!! Is 10,000 rpm possible on a super 8 50? I have a rev counter on my super 8 and I get worried when it's at 8,600rpm!!

Post by: Shaka on May 12, 2010, 03:39:58 PM: To my knowledge the S8 is a 4-stroke, so 10,000 rpm is not really feasible. I'm sure others may argue otherwise though. It would most likely take some pretty heavy mods to spin a 4T that fast!

Post by: scootergrisen on May 13, 2010, 11:22:41 PM: I dont know how fast the engine spins i dont have a rev counter on my scooter.

I have removed the google translate dropdown box with languages because it makes my site slow sÃ¥ now i just have a link to google translation in english and then you can choose others languages from there.

Post by: old mod on January 29, 2011, 11:31:46 PM: This is a really good description of how to do maintenance/ upgrade the transmission on a typical scoot. My question is, why is there no link to, or from the technical/ how to section?
I also think the google translate leaves a lot to be desired! Didn't understand quite a lot there!!!! LOL

Post by: old mod on January 30, 2011, 07:48:38 PM: Hi scootergrisen, I meant the, General discussion section, in the Technical/How To section. I noticed that the super 8 is very similar to my agility city, the main difference being the size of wheels and the city's rear disc brake, apart from the better looking bodywork on the super 8
