iv only just bought(26.9.09) a 1991 model in good condition except for a few crack in the body work where the previous owner must have dropped it..can anyone help me with information on where i could get some new body parts.many thanks.
starts first time on kick start
dont always start with electric start and finding it hard to find new body parts.
ive got a 1999 x8r,, theyre great scooters and the acceleration is great,, so far ive got it up to 65 mph and soon hope to get 70-80 out of it, got it fully derestricted, 70cc big bore kit, leo vince tt exhaust,, hebo air filter, 6.5g rolers,polini race belt
my next parts im buying will hopefully be: racing clutch racing reed valves 19 or 21m carb
if anyone got an x8r that does a speed of 70 or over id like to know what youve had done to get it there,, safe
i love my honda x8r ... but it just about makes 40mph... i really want 45mph... to keep up with everyonee.. any body know how i can get that extra speed.. the exhaust is derestricted i think.. when it gets to 40 it sounds if its struggling
first off hardly any one in here nos what there talking about when it comes to the x8r ive had mine for over a year and have had no problems at all wiith it to start with the first thing i brought was a pm tuning cdi box with an adjustable switch this took me to 40mph this costs about £70-£100 for a race cdi the next thing i got was a leo vince tt exhuast best one u can get for under £100 and i fited the rollers what came with the exhuast the next thing i got wa sa pm tuning adjustable clutch was only £20 what i fort was a bargin i also have a mallosi kevlar belt and now my bike goes off the clock i also have a pm tuning boost bottle what give u an extra boost every time u open the throtle hopefuly ill have a race coil and spark plug in a few weeks i also want a mallosi mhr variator.

i have owned my honda x8rs 2003 now for 6months i have found it very good i get 52mph with a ginanelli racing exhaust and 6.3 gram rollers and a derestricted cdi what i got done for a tneer, hoping to get an unlimited cdi next.
ive had my honda x8rs for about 2 months now and i have derestricted the variator myself and the exhaust but does anyone know how to derestricted the cdi
ive had my honda x8r-s for a few months , and i brought it for £300 of my mate, i started riding it quit alot , but when my cylinder went i realised how much was rong with it , first of all it didnt have a cowl to cool the cylinder down so i brought a new cylinder, piston, piston rings, and a lot more adding up to about £170, ive put all my new parts on but it doesnt seem like it wants to go ?i had a polini 50cc sport kit on it before and i think it might have something to do with it .... any ideas?
Hi, ive had my x8r-x for around 6 months now. and its done me proud (apart from a carberetta problem). when buyign it only had the CDI deresticted (sent off to x8r-tuning . co . uk for 13 quid!) and does 40 downhill. for those of you who have the stock honda exhaust and are stuck at 40 i am experiencing the same issue. The CDI is allowing the revs to be higher but the exhaust stops the bike accellerating at 40. (this happens because the exhaust limits output - when downhill, at 39 my bike begins to "cough" and pull back as the exhaust does not "approve" of the output). I have just ordered a leovince zx exhaust which should prevent this and i hope ill be goes 45-50 downhill. If anyone have fitted an aftermaket exhaust after havign the same performance as i am currently, what speed did you get after the new exhaust? Also, does anyone have advice on fitting a new variator and where to take it/can i do it myself?!
Cheers!
A big scooter which handles nicely, sounds beautiful and looks amazing, when falling over on its side only the indicator and lower panel is exposed to the ground =P
hard to get parts and 3 things to derestict!

hi have owned my scooter for several months now but i am sick to death of the low speed and accelaration due to the scooter being restricted . I believe from researching de-restricting a honda xr8x that i need to do 3 things: the cdi unit; variator and exhaust. I have a zx sports exhaust fitted but the scooter is stil extremely slow. Can anyone please inform me in detail on how to de-restrict the cdi rev counter, variator and whether or not i need to do anything to my exhaust???. plzplzplzplzplzplzplz help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! email me on [Log in to view email]
I have a 51 plate x8r adn bought it for 180 quid, i thought this was a bargain, i have been reading alot of comments and alot of them are a load of bo***x, to derestrict the bike first you have to change the cdi, i put a race cdi in this took me to 40, also i derestricted the exhaust myself by getting a 20mm hole saw on my drill and drilling out the cone in the exhaust, next i changed the variator and rollers this hardly made any difference, so the next thing do do is put and oversized pulley and new kevlar belt,
i have had my x8r for 1 year now and like everyone else found it slow. but i put a gianelli racin exhaust on a new kevlar drive belt and some 4 gram rollers this icreased its speed from 35-50. i am also soon gettin a 21mm carb making it a 70 getting a racing cdi unit and getting a gear up kit this should take the bike up to almost 75!
hey peoplei have a 98 x8rs mines currently doin 55 mph you might find this unbelievable but thats how fast its goin?? im quite amazed as i am dissapointed wid this speed?? but after reading u guys comments here i guess im quite lucky to have a speeedy litlle thing.
does anyone have any spares that they cam sell to me?? i need a fuel cap (original), front panels, and rh side rear panel??
ive brought my honda x8r s restricted, so i derestricted the exhaust and the variator and got the cdi done and it done 40 on the flat and 40 down hill because it still had a rev limiter in the cdi, so i got a new race cdi and now it still does 40-42 on the flat but it now does 50+ easy down hill does any 1 know why its so bad on the flat??? please help jon
