I got the best luck  By  cruisinmiami (Read 588 times)

Sounds like you got a BARGAIN!

If it's running well right now, I'd give it a short "trial-period" to see if any issues show up. As for improvements, all I can recommend are ones that have worked well on my Xingyue 150, and have seemed to be popular with others.

I found that replacing the stock air-filter system with a Uni-"sock" filter made the biggest difference of all, but the effect filters on these make can be vastly different from one scooter to another. (I did have to go to a little richer main jet) and adjust the needle to lift faster for bog-free acceleration.

Next most noticeable improvement was replacing the CDI and coil with a no-limit performance CDI and Bando orange coil (an iridium plug also helped).

Last mod I made (and it's a BIGGIE) was to replace the stock variator with a Prodigy unit. I used 12-gram rollers and am happy with them. I'm about your same size and weight, and the new variator added a few mph to my top speed, AND lowered the "cruising" rpm considerably. A BIG improvement in overall "rideability".

I think these are pretty common "upgrades" which in general, make the typical GY6 150 just a little bit faster, more enjoyable, and maybe reduce some wear on the engine.

Right now, my scoot's apart for repairs. The rear brake went bad, and I'm replacing the hydraulics from lever to wheel cylinder. My 5-year-old exhaust system is also falling apart, and I have a new performance exhaust to put on it, which I'll do while it's apart. I think my carb-jetting should still be OK but it might need a teensy-bit more richening with the new pipe. I'll make a post when I get it all back together again.

Hope this is of some help.

PS: I learned the hard way that these scoots' electrics DO NOT like to get wet! Keep the wash water well away from the CDI, coil and stator... (unless you like pushing the thing... LOL!)
