I am looking for more power on my 50cc, and i have a few questions as i am fairly new to scoot mods.
1. How high up should i go as far as cc? I was thinking about 70cc?
2. Where is a good place to buy one? I already have an aftermarket exhaust, so i dont need that included in the kit.
3. How much should i plan to spend on one?
Thanks for any help/tips guys

Use one of the banners at the top as far as where to get the kit, all tried and tested vendors by members on this site. As for what size I couldn't say never done a bbk

70cc (72 actually) will give you better take off and help in hill climbing. I would suggest the 50mm (83cc actually even though they are called 100cc). You will have to adjust your CVT to take advantage of the extra power, which will give you jack rabbit starts and the ability to accelerate uphill. Throw in a higher set of final drive gears and you'll also get great top end speed for a scooter.

I just installed a 50mm, 83cc last wednesday. I got the cylinder, and the valve head. I suspended the bike from the garage door frame at the exact height the kickstand props it, took out the 2 engine mount bolts, kept the back tire on, and just rolled the engine out from under the bike. That gave me plenty of room.
There is massive power in this thing now. I'm still tuning the CVT, but I can hold 38mph going up a very long, very steep hill. Get a 1500 rpm torque spring. You probably don't need any of those little clutch springs. Get a performance variator, and probably 6g weights. I got a great deal on my BBK. Came in the mail 2 days after I ordered. I have ordered from Scrappydog Scooters, and they are great, too.
I didn't really want mine to go much faster, I just wanted it to not slow down so much going uphill. This more than fixed that issue. You won't recognize the scoot after you install. I also got a true 20mm carb. Good luck!
