I've been riding my new Znen Q50 for a couple of weeks now, and have been pretty pleased so far. I can reach between 35-40mph on flats, and over 45mph downhill, and I can accelerate to 30-35 on most gradual uphill grades. However, I do hold up traffic when taking off from stoplights, which I feel can be dangerous. Plus as any motorcycle driver knows, you get out of trouble by using the throttle as much as you do by using the brakes, but only if the throttle is responsive enough. So I want to add a BBK.
Question is: 80cc or 100cc? Are the 100cc kits too much for the gy6 without adding a new crank? If a 100cc is safe for the engine (with proper jetting etc), does it make enough difference to choose it over the 80cc kits?
I had the scooter shop install a Keihin carb when I purchased it. I realize I'll need to up the main jet, tune in the needle and mixture, and replace the roller weights. From my research, I realize an 80 is usually about 72cc, and a 100 is usually about 83cc in reality. I'm not concerned with breaking any speed records, just want the lower to midrange torque necessary to keep up with traffic from a stop.
