nice build looks sleeper if you didn;t have the stickers, btw whats the top speed? and how does it run with the oild pump instead of premix, does it run hot?

Golly, what kind of a scooter is this?!

currently working on installing V8 style jdm exhaust, prodigy clutch, and new variator tune

what spring and roller combos have worked for yall? those running 48-51mm BBKs, having a hard time finding the sweet spot. input is appreciated

Greetings:

You'll be tuning to your pipe, of course. If it helps any, I'm using a Yellow center spring that'd be familiar to you. Opposing it are about 35-38 grams total roller weight. I was using less (maybe 32g?) with the PG Long pipe, but the Hot Surfaces pipe from Taz likes to make torque at low-ish revs. On the way to work this morning, I was amazed to see 6500 RPM at 38 MPH and a scant 7K at a steady 42 MPH. Throttle barely cracked open. Jumping up or down by more than 3 grams can overshoot the ideal.

That sounds pretty good, I'm closer to around 46g with a 2k rear and it just seems too revvy at first, then throttle dips down noticeably past 35mph. Going to try a slightly stiffer rear center and see if thats closer to balance, otherwise lower vari weight and 1.5k center may be the ticket, thx
