    Hi,

    Looking for a bit of advice before i spend any money.

    I've done the following to the bike:

    • Pipe out of exhaust
    • CDI dug and snipped, resealed with silicone.
    • Taken the washer off the variator
    The bike is stuck at 32mph top speed - taking the steps above helped acceleration but i cant get anything over 32 - what do i need? If i get a malossi CDI without rev limiter will this even help?

    Yes but not by much. You'd be better off spending your hard earner money on a malossi 70cc cylinder kit.

    They shouldn't have a restriction in the exhaust anyway. I would be checking the variator rollers. Those motors make like 6hp stock.
