Needless to say, it will void the new scooter warranty, but small price to pay. Installing an expansion chamber next week. Also a new rear shock as the poor original one is overtaxed even with my 175 pound carcass. Will let you all know how it works out. Single shocks on 49cc scooters are ridiculous. They should have two as they can't use a true mono shock suspension like moto crossers and sport bikes use. Anyhow loving the scooter and have a little money to throw at it and half the fun of owning a scooter is modding it
. With 500 miles on the scooter it will do 45 and accelerates well to 30 mph, about as quickly as my last 150cc Wolf. Looking for more power on hills and 50 mph top speed. I don't want to do a BBK and just want a little more power for a reasonable expense. The bullseye is almost perfect in town except for hills. It is so much better than a 50cc four stroke. Worse comes to worse, I'll keep it stock, buy a Yamaha SMAX left over model and sell my R3. After 45 motorcycles in 65 years it seems scooters are more useful and fun in Roanoke
