he didn't mention what kind of scoot he has, and I didn't ask. Maybe it's a souped up 2 stroke, but he said stock 50cc so I'm sure he was looking at an inaccurate chinometer.

Rode my Tao Tao down to Ace hardware to get a plug for the hole left from removing the kickstart. As i pulled up one of the associates starts a conversation about the scoot. Asking about displacement, why it sounds bigger....blah blah. Then he tells me that he has a 50cc as well and his does  right from the factory. what I ask. 90MPH he proclaims!!! I wonder how fast he thinks the cars are going when they pass him. He also invited me on a ride. I should take him up on that so I can witness this magical monster myself. And I was all but ready to give up on my 60mph dreams. Maybe there's hope after all  |

Now that I think about it, if something got in through the kick start hole, it would've landed right on the fan blades. D8

I did remove the kick start when I installed the DC fired cdi and that hole hasn't been covered because I bought the wrong size plug. Something could certainly have gotten in there. Guess I better get that plug before installing the new fan. It also gets plenty hot from me regularly pushing it to 50mph.

I pulled my cvt cover yesterday with the intention of trying the 1000 rpm contra spring that came with my naraku variator. When I got it off I realized that the fan was missing about half the blades. I hadn't noticed any change in ride quality, vibration, or anything like that. I checked my belt and drive face and everything looked fine. I put it back together and drove it home. Already ordered a new fan, but I would like to know what caused this so I can correct the problem before installing the new fan. The scoot has probably 3000 km on it and I do drive it hard. Mods are in my sig, the latest of which was an aluminum drive face about two weeks ago and the fan was fine then.

I've had it on my tao tao for about a week now and I've noticed twice that when run wide open for a while, she tops out at 9k rpm and not a single digit more. Definitely a bit better performance than the stock cdi in terms of acceleration and max rpm but I only picked up 1mph top end. Doesn't start any easier, however mine may be harder to start due to the 24mm carb. The 3 wire install is simple and can clean things up a little over having a seperate coil and wiring. I spliced on a harness from an old cdi so that I could plug the ban-jing into the stock cdi wiring. I also left the other coil in place and stashed the old cdi in the battery tray as a backup. If the ban-jing ever goes out, I can simply plug the old stuff right back in. Here's the link: enviromoto.ecrater.com/p/15815284/high-performance-cdi-coil-gy6-50 |

You guys have reignited my mission to max this thing out! Swapped in some 17/49 gears, changed the engine oil, and set my tire pressure to spec....55.37mph gps on 10" wheels! More parts on the way!

Mine hits 50 at will. Actually just drove it to Walmart and back cruising at 50 for most of the way. It did more when I had the 16/50 gears on but I didn't like the hills slowing me down. Went back to stock gears. My max was 54 with the 16/50's in.

mine only went 54mph and took too long to get there. Even the slightest of inclines would keep it around 50, so I went back to stock gearing.

just watch out for the ones that block important things like the oil dip stick (Leo Vince) or the rear tire nut (MRP type 2). Accessibility is a good thing.

I replaced my stock speedo that only read up to 50mph with one that reads up to 60 and had the same results. whereas before it would absolutely bury the speedo and look as if it was doing 60, with the new one on stock gears I was only hitting 48. After I got the 16/50 gears and gps'd it, the speedo said 51, the gps 51.8
