well if i had the money for the kit i wanted i would be real close to 60 right now and be over 60 with the gears i have to do the upgears still so that will give me some more top end might hurt the bottem end some but most of my scooting is rural roads

High port durations, rich tune, hard riding, headwinds, hills. All of those would play a big part.

no i dont think im rich im a bit on the lean side if this was an ac scoot i would but richen it up by looking at the plug i bet a heavy right hand has something to do with it i confirmed it with another tank of gas this afternoon at 35 mpg top speed is 55 it takes a while to get there but i will say where the polini kit shines is the hill climb power i went home via a couple of killer hills that with my other builds i would struggle to hold 40 going up and this dam kit was doing 47 to 50 mph up the hills i think the gears will help my mpg a bit and heck i bet i could have gone with an even lower ratio with the low end power this thing makes

well havent done any mechaincal work to it she has about 800 miles on the build now and seems rock solid now i just have to get the cash for the bearings to do the up gears
but i did put some mirror extenders on down side is they said there was a right hand bracket and bolt but there wasnt so i cut the reverse threads off of an old oem mirror and cut the head off of the allen bolt and welded the 2 parts together
i also started work on highway pegs i have noticed that the rad sits right close to where i like to put my right foot higher up on the leg shield to scretch out so i went thru my box of scooter junk and found an old set of moped handel bars got out the grinder cut them up and welded them back together and my grinder decides it wants to die on my its a cheap 10 year old tool shop ele grinder that has had a lot of use what i need to do on them still is take them in to work and cut the ends off on the chop saw make some mounting tabs get some longer bolts to mount them with and then weld in some studs to use bmx style foot pegs

well now its time to throw a new wrinkle in this bad boy its time to ditch the carb and go efi as its sits i know it wont add more performance but it should give me better mpg i wont have to worry about the jetting any more it will be easire to tune
and it just may lead to a boosted race 2 stroke

So then you didn't put them on a target for a reason.
