Hi guys, im new here. Does anyone know where i can find a shop manual or chassis pictures (engine mounts) of super8 2t? I noticed that the 2t version is on monoshock while the 4t uses 2. I was thinking if it would be safe to convert my 125 4t into a monoshock.

..Welcome to th' Forum!


.....you probably don't want to do that...the 125 is a bit heavier, and developes greater torque...

..it needs the extra support of dual shocks...

...go to "http://www.scribd.com" and search your scoot and "Service Manual"..bet there's one there...

Thanks for welcoming me. :D

Yes, i believe that the 125 is a bit heavier, but the shock does not carry the engine's weight since the engine is below the shock. if they have the same chassis, most probably they're carrying the same weight. Though of course, i will replace my suspension with those that are designed for monoshock since the stock shocks may be too soft if the other one is removed.


already tried searching thru scribd, didn't find any. :(

...i was thinking more along the torque created causing a ..."squat" and maybe a "twist" in the frame...

I dont think a torque coming from a less than 10hp engine can twist or squat the frame and mountings, unless these are really put in bad places.

I've seen modified scooters with lots of torque using monoshock and i havent heard someone got a "twisted" frame.

Hope someone could provide me with the mounting points on the 2t version...

Hi wordslinger,

The link you provided is for the 50cc 4-stroke, which is also a dual shock similar to the 125. i think i need the 50cc 2t manual..

Thanks!
