Hi guys. Just curious if anyone has been able to mod a 90cc cylinder ,piston and head on a super 8 2 stroke ?. I know it isnt a simple task but is it possible or has it been done ? Thanks for any input on the topic in advance .

With enough time and money of course it,s possible,much better to stick to the normal 70cc upgrade or move up to larger platform.

I had a look, but can't find any 90cc cylinders that were designed to fit the super 8. It could be done still. But makes it a whole lot harder. You would need to find a kit that was close, with matching stud placement. Then you would need to bore the cases. And any machining to match the bore. Seems a lot of work. Would be much easier just to buy a platform with parts availability already there.

From previous Super 8 owners posts,the limiting factor on the engine is the very short final gearing,,No aftermarket up gearing was available at that time,so a stronger engine could'nt get that power to the road.. As the guys above say,just get a good quality 70cc kit and enjoy the ride!

Yeah thank you guys. I have the Mallossi cast iron 73cc kit on it now. With Leo Vince TT exhaust and 19mm carb . At the moment I have the engine out of it because I'm having a hell of a time finding Crank seals and a complete gasket kit so i can split the case and replace all gaskets because the scooter barely has 1000 miles on it but has been sitting since 2013 . Anyone recommend a usa seller with fast shipping that may have these parts ?
