Re: Elite vs Zuma

The kymco zx50 is like a bigger elite as well. Bigger tires and brakes and larger pullies in the trans. The engine is a honda af16/18 clone.

Re: Elite vs Zuma

Zumas have a great motor but they are big and heavy and have the aero of a brick.

Re: Limitations of Dio motor?

Can a dio even breathe at revs anywhere near that high? Hard for me to believe it can pull enough air through those tiny intake windows to justify the revs, but i'm not a LEET TUNER :).
