My vote is that you should keep it. Now you can conduct tests to determine if it helps you go faster.

And I have 2 of them "one on each side " , so we're lookin at a possible 20mph gain !! Then again considering it sticks out about 1/10 of a mm it may cause so much drag that I lose up to 20mph !!!. I'll keep u posted. |

Just to let everyone in on a little secret , adding round foglights like mine added about 5 horse power . it has something to do with the extra light . when I hit the switch its like the extra light traveling at light speed pulls the sccoot forward making the scoot gain an extra 5,horses !!! |

geh This reminded me of the old "downhill dispute", so I went back and found your videos. Happens i have access to some photometric analysis facilities used in examining earth observation data. Ran your video through several different analyses. Results maybe a bit interesting. Probability with  % confidence was the slope of the road was between -1 degree and +1.5 degrees. So, might have been a slight downhill grade (equally likely uphill), but either way negligible. Thus some confidence in your readings, presuming your speedo is accurate. |

You should check out my video I posted in my speedo accuracy thread , it shows me riding on the same road , however in the opposite direction " slightly uphill " I manage to hit 60mph uphill "well actually 59.8 to be accurate ,lol" and that was without crouching over ,lol . I would have more than likely hit near 62 if I had crouched . so 73mph crouched down the slight decline and I'm sure around 62 up the same slight incline . finally after all the downhill controversy and providing a video of a dead on speedo , I was able to show how a scoot with a 58.5 bbk and the 32mm carb can hit at least 67mph on a straight shot , considering if the road would have leveled off after the uphill run I could have easily picked up the 5mph to reach the 67 I've always claimed . it was def fun and I had a heck of a time showing what's possible . |

Okay, so, what's it mean? The sticker, that is. Not the downhill dispute. I'll say, I do totally approve of the Shell stickers  ! >'Kat |

I looked it up and of course it means to hang loose. Thank you for the replies. |

Hang loose looks good for your scoot. I agree, keep the stickers!
And before I went pure clean gas, I only filled at Shell or BP. They use additives to try to counter some of the garbage corn causes.

It bothers me when i have to stop at another gas station other shen shell  . there are no more BP stations near where I live anymore . the closest is probably 20 miles away . |
