Sounds like either the fuel pettcock is going bad or you could have a vaccum leak somewhere.

Hey iamarider your setup sounds like about just what I wanna eventually do, with the bbk and all. Perhaps for now I wll just try a 1k torque spring since mine doesnt have the bbk to help.
Thanks everyone for the advice. Im thinking I will try some 7gram weights and see what that does.

To get the numbers I used a gps app that starts the clock when you start moving so it takes out the button pushing error but I mean there is still plenty of error using a cell phone gps. But my other variables are consistent.
I weigh 150. I'm assuming my weights were originally 6grams and have worn down to 5.6grams.
So if I wanted more top end I could try 7 gram weights correct? Also does a heavier torque spring in the clutch decrease top end or just take longer to get there? I'm eventually planning a bbk but that will be a bit away.

Hello all,
I bought my scooter used and the previous owner had put in a performance variator. The variator looks to be the same as the one that scrappydog sells, it has the fins around the outside. Now I had that in for just a bit after I bought it but then something went boom in my cvt, belt melted and left residue on the variator. So I just put the stock on back in. Well I finally got the performance one cleaned up and put back in and the difference is negligible or even hurts performance. I did some testing with the stock then the performance one and thse are the numbers I got:
Stock Variator / Perf. Variator
Top speed: 35.565 / 35.565
0-20mph: 7.5035 seconds / 7.498 seconds
First 60 feet: 4.5025 @ 10.515mph / 5.042 @ 11.075 mph
1/4 mile: 31.0235 @ 34.45 mph / 31.0195 @ 34 mph
This testing was done on the same street and the street is fairly level.
Ive seen on this forum others saying that variator added alot of speed and power but this test shows none or even that it hurt performance.
I do not know what my weights orignally weighted but I took them and weighed them and they came out to weigh approx. 5.65 grams.
Any tips or advice? Maybe different weights?
-Thanks all,
E.J.

Hey all,
Are there any groups or rides in or around mid or south east Michigan? I haven't found any groups as of yet.

Some of the kits I'm looking at have the bigger head. Would I still be ok with stock and only need to upgrade for more performance later on if I wanted?
This is one kit I found and thought for the price its worth a shot.

What size is stock? So if I'm just doing a bbk and a9 cam right now the stock carb up jetted should be fine? And eventually would adding a bigger carb add any performance?

The carb I have now is not sealed so I can adjust it when the time comes. So you all think just stick with the stock carb and just up jet?

Hello all,
I am planning on doing a bbk this spring, but had a quick question. I know when you do the bbk you have to put in a bigger jet but is there a size when just up jetting isn't enough? I'm thinking of doing a 50 mm bbk but have seen the 52 mm kits. With the 52 would I need a new carb ?
-Thanks everyone,
E.J.
