Looks good! 140KPH that's a little over 65mph correct? Should give you plenty of range on your spedo.

A word of caution. Don't use the 9.5 gram sliders with a stock torque spring. Way to heavy. I would remove your old ones, weigh them and then go about 2 grams heavier if you use sliders. Sometimes changing the CDI can improve top speed. Its not very often and usually on the more expense scoots.

Thank you Josh. You are exactly right about the internet search. I got a bunch of hits for mobility scooters but nothing for real scooters and I'm not that old yet!

I have to say thatbi have bean very happy with the service I have gotten from Scrappydod. Just remember the parts are usually "original equipment quality" meaning standard Chinese stuff. There shipping is very quick! about 2 days to me.

One other thing. I have used kits from Scrappydog and NCY. The Scrappydod kits have a thicker cylinder then the NCY kits. I don't know why but Scrappydogs prices are cheaper on Ebay then on his website.

My wife's will just hit 50mph tested with GPS. It will totally out perform a lightly modded Zuma. I haven't seen a 50cc that needed a performance exhaust yet till you add a hot cam, big valve head, and bigger carb. 150cc bikes use the same size pipe as the 50's so there is usually plenty of breathing capacity there for the 50's.

Anyone know of a good place to rent a scooter in the Orlando aria? We are planning a Disney trip this summer.

What a awesome deal! I paid $1000 for a Tank 150cc and will have anouther $500 in it upgrading it to a 250. I would be hesitant
to run without a thermostat. Even if it runs the same temp eather way warm up will be much slower without one. As far as a center stand goes its kind of personal preference. I use mine quite a bit as I live in a windy state and don't want it blown over.

Main jet 2 drill number sizes bigger.
K and N style filter
1500rpm torque spring
9.5 gram sliders
Watch color of spark plug to fine tune

I like your idea but the owner really wants the chrome exhaust. Got this much done. Drilled out the rivets on the front of the muffler and removed the part that mounts to the pipe. Next I will cut the muffler down and then rivet the front back on. Attachments:

This is the exhaust I'm the owner of this scooter brought me. Its a nice chrome exhaust but WAY to long for this custom. I could have done better with the original pipe and a brigs muffler. Oh well, guess I'll have to figure out how to shorten a muffler without messing it up. Attachments:
