Re-gap the spark plug (make the arm come a little closer to the center pin) Also fuel BP Premium fuel. Pump up the tires to at least 35PSI, 38PSI is best! Remove the trunk. Changing the rollers to lighter ones is good advise. Changing it to sliders is even better advise. Other than that, there's nothing really to de-restrict. You could put a 150cc performance exhaust muffler on there, but then you'll need to rejet. Other than that, BBK is the way to go. Thank you very much for the advice guys  |

www.scootnfast.com/scooter/Tuning_mods/De-Restricting.htm you may want to install a larger main jet and lighter slider weights instead of rollers . Change the oil and gear lube ASAP !! Any brand of 10w40 and GL5 which is 80w90 gear lube in the gears . Would be well worth it to replace the carb with one that is not sealed and can be tuned Awesome! Thanks for the link. I've replaced all the oil (gear and motor) even before I started the scooter, put in a new spark plug and it's been going good. I'll try some of the simple derestrictions to see how it works before I start putting money into this thing, then I'll probably get some pretty nice mods for it. If anyone has other useful links feel free to post them, anything helps! |

I believe a 2012 model. I've noticed my friends dealer bought model is slightly faster compared to my model I ordered and assembled. I feel like there is some restrictions going on. I could be wrong.

What free derestrictions are there for the TaoTao ATM50-a1? I'm looking for some free/easy derestrictions for my gy6 TaoTao. 1. I've heard of removing the variator washer for the CVT. - How does this work? 2. I've also heard of exhaust derestriction - www.provoscooter.com/exhaust-derestriction - How does this work? 3. I've also seen this video for Carb derestriction - not too sure on this one - ever hear of it? Other than that are their any other free derestrictions I can do on this thing before buying a CDI box, etc? Thanks in advance. |

So I recently got a TaoTao ATM50, it arrived on Thursday of last week, had a good weekend riding it. I changed out the gear and motor oil. Did a quick inspection of the bike, but little did I notice the front brake line was kinked a bit, where it was held against the fork. It looks like there was a rubber piece that was supposed to be between the line and the medal piece holding it to ensure it doesn't kink or cut the line. It ended up causing pressure and busting a hole in the line. I ordered a new line off of eagleatvparts. Other than that I've been breaking in the motor and it seems to be running good, knock on wood.
My question is, are these lines simple to replace? Or am I going to have to tear off the plastics to reattach the old line and attach the new line?
Also, I've noticed that the front break rubs at times, even with the hose line having a hole in it, any suggestions on that?
Thanks
