2000 SA50 reduced top speed
Posted: Mon Nov 02, 2009 12:20 pm
I have a little over 5000 miles on the scoot now.
I put on about 3000 since I had it in a season and a few months.
The scoot runs the same as always meaning when cold I need to ride half a block to warm it up (it sputters with lots of smoke unless I'm easy on the throttle which I am). Starts up same way all the time.
Do I need to do any maintenance?
The mechanic told me the v belt was still good when he put in the pulley and rollers.
When the scoot was stock I would hit 35 without any issues.
I have the high speed pulley and rollers installed about 800 miles ago and the torque curve changed a bit, (the scoot accelerates the same or maybe faster at first, then it would taper off but would hit max about 37-38).
For some time now it does not want to go over 30 anymore. It accelerates still the same way as in after the rollers and pulley were installed.
One time while riding at WOT around 35 mph I hit a dip in the road surface and then all of a sudden my scoot started to accelerate past 35. I think I got it to about 45-50 for a brief moment, then I let go of the gas.
