Budget 50cc Tuning Setups
Not got that much to spend? Only planning on keeping your 50 for a year and can't live with 30mph? Well you have come to the right place.
These are a couple of budget tuning specs that will get you going pretty quick but don't blame me if the power supply is a little weird. That's what you get for cheaping out.
The prices are for a LC Piaggio engine. Take away about £10-15 for an air cooled setup.
First up is the on the cheap but bloody powerful setup. It has no reliability due to the 70cc kit only having one ring but it shouldn't snap your crank.
Stage6 Racing 70cc. £115.
Yasuni City 16. £153.
Stage6 Jet Box. £10.
3 Sets of Malossi rollers. £18.
Polini Clutch Spring box. £7.
Top performances unlimited CDI. £29.
BGM Primary Gear-up. £42.
Total Cost = £374. Power output at the rear wheel = 11-12bhp. True Top Speed = 70-75mph.
Next is the not that fast but very reliable setup. No chance in hell of your crank snapping. The 70cc kit has two rings so it will last for ages and the exhaust is chromed so it wont rust.
Malossi Sport 70cc. £100.
Hebo Performer (Chrome). £89.
Stage6 Jet Box. £10.
3 Sets of Malossi rollers. £18.
Polini Clutch Spring box. £7.
BGM Primary Gear-up. £42.
Total Cost = £266. Power output at the rear wheel = 8-9bhp. True Top Speed = 60mph(ish).
I havn't added a larger carb to the list's as if your bike has the standard 17.5mm carb it should be enough. The BHP figures and exhaust choices reflect a 17.5mm carb.
A optional extra that i would really advise fitting is a Torque Drive. The difference it made on my 70 was one of the biggest out of all the parts i fitted. It gave it a lot more grunt and for people that live in hilly areas it should help getting up them. A Polini Torque drive is about £50.
