Super 9 / Re: Starting issues and sparkplugs
« on: May 07, 2017, 02:43:52 AM »
hello gvh, you want ngk br8hsa sparkplug, ebay has them for $4 shipped, scrappydogscooters.  these 2t scooters use up sparkplugs, and need new plugs from time to time, I put in new plug at the 1st sign of any issues, like stalling at red light, hard to start, missfiring.

how many km's on your scooter?  is it low on coolant?, you probably need to change it out anyway.  if scooter has lots of km's or been awhile since run, probably needs full maintenance.  do a search, or read the old threads for Super 9 and you will get all the info you need to get your scooter running great.  cheers

Super 9 / Re: LC super9 with a 70 kit
« on: May 01, 2017, 03:58:29 PM »
hello johnyrr, a Malossi variator will give you a little more top speed, lets the belt go out a little farther on the pulley, so you get a slightly higher gear ratio.  A Malossi torque driver will give you a little more top speed too, lets the belt drop down a little farther on the driven pulley, again giving you a slightly higher gear ratio for more speed.

My speedo needle goes approx 1 inch pass 50mph/ 80km indicator, so I know I am flying at around 10,000revs.  I bet my 49cc has faster top speed than your 70cc?  Your 70cc should really accelerate hard, your CVT is not right IMO.

Lastly, a final gear kit is the ultimate solution for higher top speed.  I haven't installed one yet, may do it soon.  I got side tracked selling all my Kymcos except the best Super 9 LC I have, less than and 1000 kms and in very good shape.  It's still OEM, but I have all the goodies to make it fast, except 70cc kit.  You don't want final gear kit on 49cc, not enough HP to pull the higher gear I have read.

I also got a Honda Reflex, and love it, but only need one scooter, so I am planning to sell it and keep the Super 9 LC to hop it up.  Cheers

People 50 / Re: Calling long time People 50 2t owner's advice on service intervals.

I sold my 05 Kymco People 2T, but put over 12000 kms on her.  I think the service manual requirements are adequate minimum.  I bought mine used and already had approx 3000 kms, so I did many of the service points early.  A very relible scooter, never had any trouble with it.
 Cheers

Super 9 / Re: upgrade 49.5 cc to 70cc
« on: April 03, 2017, 01:34:38 PM »
hieumait, if you have some time, do some reading on this forum, it's all here, where to buy jets, how to tune carb, CVT, install BBK.  You will find conflicting information, so you will have to decide what seems best for you, just like the rest of the web.  I had a lot of fun researching, then tweaking my scooter, getting it to run better.  Hopefully, you will have a similar experience.

Have you checked your carb jets?  With the OEM carb, you can change idle jet and main jet.  Is your new carb still OEM carb?

I wouldn't do it until I figured out how to make 49cc run.

Your 49cc should be very fast with 125# rider, if it's tuned right.  You said it had tuned pipe, so just needs some TLC, and may surprise you how fast it can be.  Speedo arm, on my Super 9 LC, goes past the bottom right hand corner of the mileage box from time to time, I think going over 55mph, its turning over 10,000 revs and sounds sweet.

Or, maybe 70cc kit would be the easiest thing to do?  You have LC so should run cool.  Only 70cc kit I did was AC, I had trouble getting it to  run cool, so I wouldn't do 70cc kit on AC engine again, but will probably do 70cc on LC.  Unless you get taller final gear, 70cc doesn't make for more top speed, but a lot more torque, and acceleration.  Cheers

Super 9 / Re: go up hill bottom out
« on: April 01, 2017, 01:41:24 AM »
OK, I understand carb, you can bypass auto bystarter if you want, but will have to manually choke carb to start.

Why did you install 3gr and 6gr rollers?  How did it run with stock 8gr?  At your weight 125#, probably don't need really light weight rollers to get acceleration.  When rollers are too light, trad-off is often less top speed.  Engine peak torque is where you get max acceleration, speed up hill, with stock exhaust pipe peak torque is approx 7000 revs, less or more revs, engine is not working at maximum.  Good luck...

hieumait, how much you weigh?, your S9 LC is not running well.  Please clarify, are you saying you are turning 10,000 rpms and only going 20mph?

So pace, how you like your S9 LC?, hope it's running well for you, I have 2 now, one almost completely OEM, very low miles, the other approx 6000 miles runs fast, I love it.  Cheers

is the Agility 50 4T?, if so performance will be a lot less than People 50 2T.  I know performance is not an issue with you, but you may be surprised how slow these are if your previous scooter was 2T.

also, good idea to keep looking, and educate yourself some more about scooters.  when I got interested in scooters I shopped CL and when saw something interesting I researched it on web.  very good place for more information about a specific scooter is motorscooterguide.net.  that's how I figured out Kymco's are great scooters, and around here can be had for less $'s.

a couple of other good brands to look at are Sym and Genuine.  Good luck, have fun looking.  Cheers

go to motorscooterguide,net, has nice writeup on almost all scooters, including Kymco People 50.  these are great scooters IMO, I had 2005 People 50.  2003, if in good condition, should be a good one.  The early years, 2003 thru 2005 had less emission mods (exhaust pipe was better especially), so run better than years alter 2005 generally.

I like Heidenau tires, a new set really improved the ride, performance of my People 50.

I think $800 is a little high, but depends on where you are and the other available scooters, so maybe a good price in your area?  Good luck!

Super 9 / Re: Super 9 Electric Start Issue
« on: February 25, 2017, 03:58:12 PM »
do you know how to access the relay?, probably have  to remove some plastic panels, a pain, battery probably much easier to check, eliminate as the problem.  I have two 2003 Super 9's, and had one 2004 (sold), all needed batteries, but otherwise all the electric components work, except tach on one 2003 Super 9.  Sometimes, the switches, connections will act up if not used for a long time, have to disconnect/ reconnect wires to clear up connections, etc.  Cheers
