Title: Super 8 4 stroke Euro 4 2019
Post by: Tonse on February 10, 2019, 12:02:24 PM
Hey folks.
I'm thinking of buying a Kymco super 8, new 2019 model.
It's fuelinjected and therefore it's equipped with  an ECU  instead of CDI box. My question is : is it possible somehow to unrestrict the ECU so it goes a little faster, and how much more speed would it manage?

Super 8 is a 150, isn't it? I think only 50 cc bikes are restricted.

These types of queries are always puzzling!  Why not purchase a scooter that is ACTUALLY compatible with their speed expectations?

People have had real problems with the 50cc fuel injected euro stuff. I'd advise having a good trawl through the Agility 50 forum here. There's not much that can be changed on the bike and some have struggled with gearing are variators etc.

The Agility 50, is not fuel injected  here I Denmark and also on comes as a 30 km/t model. So I can't compare

I don't know what laws are in Denmark, so I cannot speak for Tonse.  While I have a few motorcycles, I like having a scooter for short local hops and to get around the bigger motorcycle swap meets (Mid-Ohio and Barber) .  In Missouri, no vehicle licensing is required for 49cc scooters (therefore no safety inspection either) making vehicle ownership that much simpler.  If I can modify my 49cc to go +35mph instead of -30mph, so much the better.  Seems like, though, however fast we go, wouldn't it be better to go just a little faster?

I believe Denmark has special requirements for little scooters - I get riding small engined stuff - it's fun to only be able to do 30 sometimes! :)
