When I decided to get it they changed the battery to a larger capacity battery and took off the stock carb and put on a Keihin carb. I wanted it because it was really moving quickly around the large parking lot. I went over the entire scooter that night and checked all nuts and bolts, wire tied loose wires, changed the oils and checked the belt and rollers. All looked well. I have since broken it in, installed a DLH performance variator, Took out the restrictive hose in the intake tube from the airbox, 1000 rpm clutch springs and a 1000 rpm main spring, mixed rollers (5g and 9g) I think. On flat ground it is at 45mph no wind (gps), on a 3/4 mile long, straight hill it is holding steady at 36mph 4-6% stepped incline but I don't know for sure (gps) and going down the hill 59mph (gps). I have put a 6000K LED (194 bulb [T10]) in the front lower parking light and two 6000K 18 LED outdoor strips under the body, only the glow is visible and they are hard wired to come on when the key is on. I think it is doing pretty well for me being 195lbs. Gonna get an exhaust soon and I have my coil and spark plug coming in the mail.
