    well what bike / scooter is it , what carb is on it , what main jet size is in it now , and you do realise you will get no performance gains on a standard 50 unless it has a decent 70cc set up , all you will do is gain noise and loose fuel consumption , not to mention there a pain in the arse to set up correctly and they suck in water if its not a covered one

    is it 2stroke or 4 stroke buddy if its 4 stroke you wont get much quicker than that to be honest

    yeah you wont get much quicker than 35 mph out of it , to be fair mate id sell it and get your self a half decent 2 stroke which will do 50 mph standard with basic derestriction and maybe a sports pipe like a aerox , runner , nrg , typhoon , just to name a few

    How have you de-restricted it? What have you done to it?

    Cut a pink wire near the cdi box and removed a gold thing in the carb
