Shaving the head will increase your compression, may give you more power but not sure if it'll be noticeable. If the compression's too high, your electric start may not have enough power to deal with that. Naturally you'd want to run higher octane fuel and like Kenny said a CHT gauge is definitely s...

You're right, that's the general idea but it all depends on the moped's setup. See in Hawaii a lot of us are running strokers and the riders are like 200 pounds and up. 2k clutch springs won't cut it when you see those bikes with Arrow chamber pipes or Scorpions. The clutch spring type is usually ba...

Good job on the experiment, I'm sure you can understand how it feels when you alter the weights now and how it affects acceleration power and top speed. Keep in mind that gear upgrades are a very good investment but if your engine is near stock (power wise), you might hit the ceiling regarding the H...

Flow would mean that it doesn't act like honey in the lines. As Tru72 said earlier, injector formulations are made to be thinner (less viscous) so it'd flow easier than premix. Premix formulations are made for when you mix it outside of the moped in a gas can and shaken up before it's used in the mo...

Marine specific oil formulations are quite different than those specifically engineered for high performance moped applications, at least with certain brands of oils.

A stroker motor is all about an engine where the connecting rod between the piston and crankshaft having more leverage to turn the crankshaft. Try to imagine what it'd be like turning a ratchet to loosen a stubborn/seized nut or bolt with a very short handle. That is like how it is with a normal mot...

The rule I live by is to never use crappy oil in any 2 stroke moped. The GN2 is the best you can use for a stock application with oil injection.

I and quite a few others have modded mopeds that're modded (bigger bore, stroker, etc.) and premixing is the way to go.

If you're going to be even somewhat serious with tuning your own moped, the first thing I'd highly recommend is to get a set of weights of differing grams like that multipack VT sells. Get yourself one of those trays like the ones for tackle boxes (you'll find them cheap at a hardware store) and sep...

Both the center and clutch springs do different jobs but keep in mind that it's the entirety of the transmission (boss, pulley, weights, ramp, belt, rear pulley, center spring, clutch, clutch weight and clutch springs) need to all work together in order to run properly. The center spring is nearly a...

Clutch was probably assembled improperly, I don't see how the clips that holds the 3 pieces could come off if installed correctly. BTW if you want more bottom end, you'd normally go with lighter weights but then again you have to notice the engine rpm as well, if the rpms are climbing quickly and yo...

I use a Daytona tach with a 18k rev limit, inductive type. Reads very well, doesn't jump around like it's possessed and updates very quickly. Cost me 175 bucks.

Thx for that guys, lol I hope it helps the peeps here. I'm new here and I hope to give back as much as I'm learning from this forum. I could add the rear pulley explanation which would explore the center spring matter(torque spring) into this but I figure I'd save that for later.

I think he meant to say "new" muffler. The information is too vague to really help out just yet.

This is a crude explanation but it goes something like this. Keep in mind that adjusting the weights often times goes hand in hand with the center spring tension at the rear pulley. If you're a heavier rider (person's weight), you might need to go with lighter weights. How this works is that imagine...

To give you a solid reply, I'll need to know a few more things.

1. How heavy are you?

2. Is the DD50 not moving fast enough uphill for you? Meaning it's not like it's slowing down going uphill, perhaps you just want to climb faster?

or

3. Is it losing power uphill, thus slowing down?
