Movie 150 / Performance Upgrade Part 4
« on: April 22, 2016, 08:08:41 AM »
Has been a while since I work on my Scooter mainly due to the winter season, I was snowboarding instead of riding.
This time I installed a 63mm big bore kit plus high lift cam. Installation wasn't too difficult, take no more than half day. Performance gain on this BBK are amazing, especially off the line. My setup includes BBK, high lift cam, performance CDI, pipe, variator, clutch spring and 28mm carb, I was able to hit 70 mph+.
Installing BBK doesn't require removing the motor, but it does make it easier, especially when removing and installing the Piston.
Got an extra head, For future plans, gonna send my stock head to have bigger valves install plus port and polish

I am now really to install more performance parts, thanks to my oversea friend
Takamura Exhaust Pipe:
This Pipe is made for Kymco Racing 150, it bolts right up with 2 mounting bolts instead of 3 bolts like the stock pipe, it has a small carbon fiber heat shield and stainless piping and black muffler, it doesn't stand out as other bing bing pipes that are full polish or full carbon fiber, is sleeper type of pipe. Is a half chamber and half straight design, not as quiet as stock but not as loud as a straight pipe. Good for stock 150cc or later upgrade big bore to 63mm piston.
Performance CDI:
It replace that stock CDI unit that is located inside the front panel of the scooter.
Performance intake manifold with universal throttle cable:
With this intake manifold, I am ready to install my old OKO 28mm flat slide carb, also now i can get rid of all the garbage emission stuffs.

After I installed my Variator, Clutch, front caliper, and quick throttle, My next upgrade are the rear suspensions.
There are many brands to choose from: RPM, NCY, RRGS, Stage 6 etc. I chose GEARS RACING model HILL-2 rear shocks for my Scooter. The shocks come with a REAL reservoir and are fully adjustable from spring preload, compression, height, and rebound.
This particular model is made for Street and Track, therefore is not super stiff on road and perform outstanding on turns. Riding my Scooter with the GEARS RACING shocks gives me more confidence on the road especially when i hang a sweeper turn.
I also ordered some Dunlop TT93 street/track tires. Once i get those tires installed, I will goto the local mini bike track and test it out.

After 200 miles break in, I decide to do some performance upgrades on my Scooter.
1. Variator Kit plus Oversize Clutch.
After installing the full kit, Very noticeable acceleration gain. The top end gain about 3 mph, not much but at least now I feel like I start from 1st gear instead of 2rd if I am driving a stick shift car. For more power and top end, still need to get Big Bore kit, performance pipe,and bigger carb.
2. Four pistons front brake caliper
This NCY 4 pots brake caliper with caliper adapter and performance brake pads install directly on to the stock 240mm brake rotor. Now the front brake are so strong that i can easily do a stoppy. maybe or may not suitable for some people, for me I am loving it.
3. Quick Throttle
Stock Throttle is about 1/4 turn to WOT, with the Quick Throttle, only 1/8 turn to WOT. The throttle is like an On/Off switch, maybe or may not suitable for some people, for me I am loving it.

Movie 150 / Kymco Movie 150 (Racing 150) review
« on: August 10, 2015, 07:47:43 AM »
Hey guys, I recently purchased a Movie 150, It is an awesome Scooter. It looks Nice, great power and good handling for a stock 150cc scooter.
In Taiwan, they actually has 3 different models: RACING 125, RACING 150, and RACING KING 180. Early model pre 2010 is actually carbureted just like the US model Movie 150, then post 2010 is all fuel injected.
The Racing 150 is actually one of the popular race scooter use for track racing in Taiwan, therefore there are TONS of performance parts made for it in Taiwan, but unfortunately not in the US. It is possible some of GY6 parts might fit, like pipes, manifold, variator etc.
I am currently breaking in the engine (only put 50 miles on it), After that I will starts to mod it. I will share some info and DIY in the future, hopefully will be useful for you guys.
