Hi all. I just purchased a pcc apache 150 and i want more power what are some easy less expensive ways to achieve this? Im a scooter noob and i live near branson mo, lots of hills not enough gidyup in the scooter. Any help would be great thanks.

break it in first. air filter/exhaust replacement with new jets, variator weights, possibly performance variator, longer belt. Do a bunch of reading here to see what every one has done with theirs. They do run a lot better after break in. I have briggs and straton muffler welded on mine for 10 bucks rather than a $150 and maybe more chrome one that works just as good but may not have as much eye candy as some would like. You can spend more on a 150cc scooter than it would take to get a 250cc scooter too if you get every thing offered for sale.

Thank u for your suggestions...whats a variator hehe

[jct842]

It is the part of transmission that is on the crankshaft of the engine. There are two pulleys that change diameters, the variator gets larger and the clutch pulley gets smaller. READ ...... There is lots of information here about how they and the rest of the scooter works,

you need more on take off power than top end. shyet,get a lighter roller weights, it's a trial and error thingie....replace your torque spring too with tighter ones.

i really wish we can buy roller /weights from wallmart so we can return them the next day if it didn't work.
