Title: Out riding my Super 8 150
Post by: klaviator on May 10, 2016, 04:35:58 PM
I was out riding a few days ago when this happened.

I don't know if I'll keep it long enough to get 33,333.3

  I would be happy with another 2679 miles.  24901, distance around the world.  Has it treated you well so far?

Thanks for that bit of info.  It gives me something to shoot for.  So far I have owned 5 bikes that I have ridden that far.

I have had some issues with my Super 8 but the engine, CVT, Brakes and suspension have all held up well despite the fact that I run it pretty hard.  I have had some electrical and carb issues as well as fasteners falling out or failing.  It's not quite up to Japanese quality standards but still pretty good.  It was my first scooter and I have no regrets buying it.

love to see that kind of mileage on a Kymco scoot! What's your oil change interval on your scooter?

1200 miles.  I use Rotella T-6 full synthetic.

I was thinking about upgrading my scoot this Christmas but I don't even have 14000 miles on it

And "they" say 150's won't go that far! "They" say scooters are done at 20k miles! Keep on provin' them wrong!

Want to get better functions, go to Amazon, and type in kymco performance plugs, will show 2, one yellow. A yellow might not come, only 1 does. They are both the same, and are a perfect fit from the c7 plug that came with scooter. It a Brisk plug=NAOR14LGS, which is equal to all 7no# plugs.

Ignore the spam. 

I got out and did some riding on my S-8 today.  Here's some pics I took.

Nice, hopefully the ground isn't too soft and you get stuck. :)

It was dry.  I wouldn't have gone there if it was muddy......at least not on my scooter.  Last time I went there it was a little muddy but I was on my KLR.

Nice pics. The KLR is probably a little more mud worthy.

Great pictures! I have a People 150 with 18000k on it. The motor feels like it could just keep going, and going, and going.

I rode to Wally world today and picked up $87.21 worth of groceries.

And I got it all to fit....barely.  That's a new record for me. :)

Awe and I was so looking forward to a photo of the shopping cart hitched up to the back of the scoot ready to head down the road. :)

Are you a meat eater or Vegetarian? Eating all wabbit food it would take two scooters to get all my veggies and fruit home.

I eat both.  I had two whole chickens in there as well a bunch of wabbit food and of course some ice cream!

I do the same thing! Except I am not as good at packing things as you are.  I love going to my local Publix Supermarket and seeing the looks on the employees face when I allow them to take the groceries out with me.

Same with us, Mr. Paul. Between my wife and I and our 2 scooters with top cases, we can pack in a lot of groceries. We use our top cases, hang big bags on the floorboard hooks between our legs, and also carry a backpack for smaller items. People are always surprised that we can get it all organized and packed into our 2 scooters. It is an art form, for sure.  :)

Scooters are incredibly versatile.  I have hauled a couple of 50# bags of sand home from Home Depot on my S-8 as well as other large or bulky items.  I could haul more stuff on my majesty but for around town riding I just prefer my S-8.

Brought a live Xmas tree home on my Honda  90 in California.
Used to see a whole village on a Honda 90 in Vietnam. ....with livestock.
