Greetings:

Welcome indeed. It's a good ratio for stock block if it's 10:1, but how'd you end up with SE50 gears in a '95?

Gears from an SE50 (AF05e) fit right in with no problems. It is the other way round that causes problems.(AF16 gears in a AF05)

The 11:1 ratio is better than the stock 12.1:1

How fast do you wanna go?
How much do you wanna spend?

$100 will buy you a 82cc kit
$150 will buy a nice aftermarket pipe
$150 will get you a Bigger Carb and Intake.
$50 will get you gears

$450 total = easy 55 - 60mph

That would be very exciting ! :imo:

The proper pipe for your set up will help performance. The wrong pipe for your set up will hinder performance. A pipe on that bike will get you up to 40 with ease if you upjet to match. Without having the original gears from that engine, it will cost over $100 to get any gear ratio besides 10.2:1 for your scoot.
