[replyingto=tvnacman]tvnacman[/replyingto][replyingto=tvnacman]tvnacman[/replyingto]I would like to do as many practical mods as I can to get some more power and higher cruising speed,,Im not looking for a race scoot,,i have a MC for that.
Thinking maybe CDI first,,then rollers,,maybe gearing,exhaust,carb.
Ya know,,stuff like bolt on easy stuff,,then as I get braver,,maybe a 180cc big bore kit for a Winter project.I hear the cases have to be bored for that.
Thanks for reply.
Tom

[replyingto=tvnacman]tvnacman[/replyingto]Enjoyed your pics alot brother..
What do you recommend I upgrade first,,Im a noob so Im not sure where to start and dont want to get rollers or something first if it wont work without putting on a CDI or different carb/pipe?
Thanks for your help!
The crate should be here in a week,,and i will update how it runs,,and then I will know what size motor case and all long or short,,i have no idea what to look for at all,,so Im doing as much reading as possible here,,still trying to figure out how to get around the forum.

Is your carb capped for the a/f mix ?
pod filter and performance muffler is a nice start , then cdi . Then larger diameter variator , then depending on your weight play around with the variator weights . Beyond that BBK and gearing and retweek the variator weights and springs .
Can you post a pic of your muffler ?
