Vento Stage 1 Upgrade! (56k watchout)

Post by burnt_toast »

Well to those that have noticed my "stage 1 upgrade in process" notice in my sig, here are the results:

After being very eager to install everything, I put put in a washer in the wrong location on the variator and this later caused my stock belt to break. I was getting mediocare performance at that point. After a few more weeks my new Kevlar belt came in, and I put the washers in the correct places. Here are my mods:

Stage 1 upgrade kit
+Tecnigas Next R exhaust
+Malossi Multivar
+15x12mm Rollers
+Stronger Clutch springs
+Malossi Torque driver
+Kevlar drive belt

My acceleration is noticably faster once clutch really catches on at like 7-10mph. And my midrange! Its awesome as well, just like back on my spree. I can be going 30 and yank it and itll just push me ahead up to speed! I can hit a cruise speed of 50-52mph, climb hills at 40-45mph, and I've topped out so far at 56mph with a medium hill and good wind. I am very happy at the results! :D

(Btw its still 50cc 8))

Here are pics of my upgrade:

Very cool!

Do you have to have an endorsement? and what is your MPG?

As in am I sponsored? Answer would be no. The Malossi sticker on the cover is just because I have a lot of Malossi stuff in there (variator, springs, torque driver), but no I am not sponsored. Got all my stuff from Provoscooter.com, don't think they have anything for Spree's though. :|

My mpg looks to still be good after the upgrade. Should be about 60+ mpg. Once I fill up on a full tank I'll make sure what it is exactly.

center spring

Post by maddog »

you have the wrong center spring, that one is used for bore kits and strokers, go to a weaker one, also with that chamber pipe did you change the main jet, you can also offset the weights which come in grams.
some people dream of speed, i own your dreams!

Are you talking about the torque driver? That is a Malossi torque driver which came with the multivar and is meant for the stage1. Upjet was not neccessary.

lil update

Post by burnt_toast »

Just as an update, whith a very good wind helping me out down a medium hill, I was able to hit 60MPH! :mrgreen: If there wasnt a van in front of me it looked like I couldve keept going faster, so I'll have to find out the true top-end at a later time. :wink:

ALso, I'm on vacation now and typing this from the local library, so I won't be on too often for a while.

i just sent out the money for my elite. i am geting a OKO high speed Pulley kit for it and this winter i am getting a 63cc bore kit. oh yeah the pocket rocket muffler is a waste of time. i put the stock one back on and it really goes because of the back pressure.
