Could use some advice. Put a 72cc kit including new head with bigger valves. Definitely more torque than it had. Can anyone suggest whether a new cam, larger carb, or exhaust would be the best next step? Would do all three but running out of money. Thanks! Yeah I know I should have bought a 125 in the first place, but if there weren't so many hills where I live, the 50 would be fine. Also my wife doesn't have a mc endorsement and the 50 is the perfect weight, 170 lbs and low seat ht for her. I could leave it as is and try find $800 for a used Buddy 125 I saw on Craigslist
