Grrrr, I'm jealous. Whaddya need that thing for anyway?! It's missing a back wheel! :)

Sinceriously good score, Dawg! You and The Bear can blaze the trail to eighth-liter 2-Smoke performance.

In another thread, I suggested a mild 125cc ENDURO pipe might be a good match for Scooter Duty. Bear misinterpreted that to mean a CR pipe, but I was thinking more MT-125. Yeah, it'll need some cuttin' an'-a-weldin' but the volume and geometry's been tried and tested.

Anyhow, Piped or not, should be a spacious fun ride.

If you use the Aero 80 switch assembly, it replaces the the Aero 125 switch assembly and has the brake lever attached. The cable routes just like you would on any other scooter. Down the stem, back along and under the floor board to the rear brake assembly. I have this done to two of my 125's. The switch assembly is a plug in deal. The cable came from a GY6 150cc scooter, 175 cm IIRC.

If you move the clip up the needle, you lower the needle, thereby leaning out the mid range. Oh an visa-a-versa.

......right.....understoood.....I will be pulling this carb to clean, so I'll take note clip position during the disassembly, I'll check these jet sizes too.....the MANUAL failed to clearly explain the function and adjustments of the main jet needle, unless the info is located where I didn't look.......... 8)

FYI, I just acquired a set of Aero 80 handlebars with both switch assemblies and brake levers. I will make you good deal on the left one.

I'm not sure the 125 exhaust is a problem. A member on another forum put a CT intake (with adapter) and a 28 mm OKO on his and does 65 mph and it is only that fast because he won't use the 1/3 of throttle that is left.

Bear, 65 on a 125cc is respectable in my book. Maybe Honda-san did put a decent-performing pipe on it in the first place.
I've never even seen one, so you gotta pic? Real nice Mike!
