if u want a sleeker looking scooter that handles the same as stock here are my simple instructons.

(i recommend u know what u are doing before u attempt this)

step 1. remove nose of scooter. (just the body)
2. remove tire.
3. remove rubber dust caps from forks.
4. remove the circlip holding upper+lower forks together.
5. remove bottom fork by sliding out of upper fork.
6. seperate main spring (long and thin) and rubber stop in the middle.
7. (this varies but make sure u have enough clearence and travel to do so.)
cut the main spring (1 1/2") and the stop (1 1/4") shorter then the spring.
8. reverse these instructions to re-asemble.

the measurements can be changed. just make sure the stop is 1 1/4" shorter then the spring. (this is how it is set stock. messing with the stop length can cause the suspension to be too rigid or too sloppy). (body damage).

lowering more then this, the lower fork tubes will actually bottom out in the upper fork tubes. to fix this u will need a welder. heres what to do.
(keep in mind this is lowering more then stated above, so if not lowering this much this need not apply to you)

for every 1/4" cut the lower fork tubes 1/4" also. to do this you will obviously be cutting the flare off that stops the fork tubes from pulling out. this is were the welder comes in. weld a bead around the top of the inner fork tube. this will replace the flare and not let the plastic pieces slide past. so now u wont have to worry about your tire comming off over a nice size bump.
