My partner says he will have a run on it tomorrow to confirm the rpm , but i'm sure its not going into the red which is at 7000rpm.
(My partner typing now )
Its really not a lot of bhp , my first ever bike 35 years ago ! lol ! was a yamaha FS1E 49cc moped and that had 5bhp almost and was probably half the weight , be nice if we could get it up to about 10bhp which is still on the low side but give it a bit more grunt. Would a performance air filter do any good and rejet the carb?? The bike is actually running really well now since the new coil was fitted so I wouldn't say its actually got any faults.

Revs are reading quite high , 6500rpm approx at 50, stays the same going uphill , just the speed drops off .

Hello again Alleyoop
As you probably are aware the bike is quite heavy and has only 7bhp approx, so when it comes to hills (which we are surrounded by where I live) it struggles like hell, to the point where my partner leaves me miles behind and has to wait around ( he has a yamaha rxs100) whilst i catch up.
On the flat and slight down hill it goes well there's no complaints there.

Thanks kz1000st, yes i guess it is a crossover, its based on the Gilera DNA, but mines the Pulse rage 125cc on a 2010 plate , looks a bit like a motorcycle but its a scoot, hybrid the reviews call it , my small tyres are the only give away when I'm out on a run with the Bikers lol...but I still keep up with them except on a bad incline shes only got 7bhp so I lag behind , contemplating a 180cc kit to give me the extra horsepower |

Hi Alleyoop There are two wires on the coil, one is green and one is brown..on operating the starter there is feed going to the coil through the green one which by the power of deduction means the brown one should be an earth, but when you try and earth something through the brown one it does not appear to be an earth. Have tried earthing the coil directly to the battery thinking maybe faulty earth problem, but it still does not run... All forums suggest the green is the earth on scooters, but obviously on this one it isn't ?? Could the answer be just the coil?? really don't want to buy one if its an earth problem... |
