I'm still working on getting better performance from my 2008 Benelli M50, 50cc scooter. It has less than 20 miles on it. The engine is a JOG 1E40QMB-4 Minarelli type. This engine is used in many other brands of scoots. I am wondering if anyone with the same or similar engine has done performance upgrades. I planned to start with a performance variator, a performance exhaust, performance air filter and a larger main jet. I'd like to know what size jet is in there now so we have a starting point or better yet if you have done such up grades what jet worked for you? I am physically unable to do this work myself although I had some experience with other older mopeds doing so. I cannot do this due to surgeries last year in a major, life threatening illness. I have recovered somewhat but cannot physically do these things anymore but do have a willing helper who just doesn't have alot of experience. If I can find the jet size I have now, Mo from Scrappy Dog, 
will be able to help find the right one after upgrading. He has been a great help to me with advice and information and I'd highly recommend him and Scrappy for parts. I'll be ordering all mine there. A local scooter shop told me that the upgrades I have in mind would do little for performance but would just make the bike louder. I'm sure there are many forum members who would disagree with that. They wanted to put a big bore kit on the bike right away. I really don't need a great deal of additional speed. I just need improvement in acceleration and I'd be happy with a top end of 45 or so. I do all city riding at this point and hate having cars right on my rear end trying to pass me on either side they can regardless of how safe it is. Any info on what to expect from these upgrades and the jet sizes would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your attention!
