You need an even better sense of humour buying a new bike for £495.
£495 new... Quality item then. I hope it comes with breakdown cover and a full warranty.
What make kit did you order? Youll need a better than standard exhaust now.
Chinese scooter ?
Is it revving higher now. I suspect that it's the combination of the variator weights and contra spring. Put the original contra spring back and...
50cc engines have a very narrow powerband, they need a good variator to keep the engine in it, if the weights are too light they dont have enough...

Any one who rides a ped with just visible tread must be mad . The tyre laws are really strange, did you know that a Ford transit van tyre becomes...
Many 50cc peds appear the same as their bigger engined versions, however they require for instance a number plate light, headlights which comply...
