A few quid to spend but what mod?

seen a couple of front ends kicking round on ebay, from £40 up to £120...! i like the £40 ones myself, neither of them had a shock so that would be upgraded as a matter of course... Thanks again for the replies, an MC ill wait to hear from you, thanks

 

Hey all, sorry to bump an old thread but its relevant...

Fitted a 17.5 mm DSN carb today, as well as a straight manifold from Pedstop. Ill be honest, its not the noticeable gain in performance that i was expecting, smoother and less hesitant getting to 35mph than it has been, but still not as fast as i was expecting and it still only pulls through to 48ish as it would do when it was running the 13mm carb...?? Im not expecting miracles but something tangible would be nice...

So what now then?

Btw I am already saving for the S6 Pro rep pipe and Polini Corsa kit, pipe first kit after...

 

ok thanks for that, i thought id be a cheapskate and save the £30 for other things but i happy to take your recommendation on board

 

Im trying to find someone that can tune and dyno scoots locally but having 0 luck, so it looks like im going to be doing a lot of tinkering and setting up just playing it by ear :beg:

So things like flowing the cases are not really going to be able to be done and its no the sort of thing i want to get wrong...?

I did wonder about the strength of the crank, and now you mention it i have looked at replacements, but thought that id run the standard unit until i had to replace it... I take it that's not a good idea? :blush:

 

hock: :cry:

eek... ok point taken... ill be squeezing another £120 from somewhere then...

 

Ah now thats one thing i can do is the fitting, silly pedstop put the boxes for the 'race' bearings and seals in the picture on their site, ive already priced them and can get them for less than half of what they are asking so that is a load of money saved.
Looks like ill be bringing my scoot to the Uk to take it to a tuner in Poole, no one locally has a bike dyno where i can get it set up so with the ferry as a return trip that's best part of £400. So i might turn it into a holiday, stick the scoot in the back of my landrover and come over for a week, try and come when there is an event on somewhere...
