    start with the 70 kit...(dunno if you need a better crank) the 70 and to fit it will cost you enough...when ya bored of that get a better varo...then get a better pipe and carb etc i'd stick with malossi personally..and ive got a soft spot for the yausni pipes

    Get a polini sport kit, then a laser x pro, rollers and jets you will rinse out all 50's and put up good against lot of 70's :D

    The new runners are like 7ft long and weight more than the old shape

    So i doubt you will be able to wheelie with out a 70cc big bore ;)

    wheelies are about technique, not whether the bike can do it.

    unless your bike is truly aweful and has NO engine power at all.

    does the engine have power?

    all you need to do is lift the front wheel high enough to balance, if that means standing on the rear pegs and doing it, atleast you'll wheelie it.

    relying on power wheelies or engine power is crap, it means your accelerating the whole time and you wont hold it as long.

    i just put my zx pipe on my runner and derestricted it. and wen i pull off the accelaration is so slow, n after it gets to about 26mph it speeds off to 40, does any1 no why this is? the variator hasnt been destricted and when i pull the throttle all the way back it goes even slower :confused: :confused:

    clutch springs are too weak or rollers are a smidge too light.

    get the varo derestricted first.

    put my malossi variator on it. and derestricted it, still now what happens is i can get to 50mph and once i stop accelerating the throttle stops respondin when i start agen, and will only let me go 30. im gonna have 2 get another service. maybe its the throttle cable or sumfin. the rollers r 6.0 so i dnt think thats the problem :confused:
