Super 8 150 / Wasted money on a 163cc kit!!!!!
« on: December 07, 2016, 04:32:25 AM »
So I have just bought a 163cc upgrade kit for my 150 only to be told by my mechanic that there would be no difference to performance unless I bought a cam for it. I've had a look on eBay and it seems they are not available so I guess basically I've just been ripped off!!! Typical pinoy business to only tell you half a story until AFTER you've parted with cash.

Super 8 150 / 125/150 shared parts?
« on: August 18, 2016, 10:22:30 AM »
I`m looking to modify and upgrade my super 8 and found a really good UK based store but unfortunately I was told the super 8 150 is not available in UK.
I`m just wondering does anyone know what normal parts EG brakes etc are common to both models?
Until the bike is still in break-in I will avoid engine mods but for now looking to upgrade the suspension and brakes? Any ideas guys :)

Super 8 150 / Delayed Clutch?
« on: August 11, 2016, 10:31:30 AM »
Ok this might be completely normal but I thought I`d ask.
When I pull off it seems like an aweful lot of revs required just to get moving, also if I want to just crawl at like 5-mph the revs required also seem very high?
I`m comparing to my wifes Yamaha Mio 115 which is much easier.
Is this normal or can the clutch be adjusted in some way?
Thanks

Super 8 150 / Hello from Philippines
« on: July 30, 2016, 10:30:45 AM »
Just thought I`d say hi and introduce myself.
I work in UK but live in PH and just got myself a super 8 150cc
Although my other bike is a 2015 Z1000 I`m over the moon with the Kymco
I`m just breaking in the engine right now and using variable revs all the time and changed first oil at 100km.
I will do another at 500km then 1000km before I start to push it a little.
I`m planning on squeezing a bit more power out of it as it struggles uphill when I have a back ride with me.
Ane thing I have noticed though is the my wife`s Yamaha Mio 115 is a LOT smoother and better response when pulling way...If anyone has any ideas on how to make it a bit more responsive then please let me know :)
Many thanks
Matty
