PIAGGIO NRG 08 *NOOB* *CLUELESS* *HELP*

HI, i just turned 16 and just bought a 2008 nrg for £550 on ebay and im pretty sure its still resrticted, i have read through the forum but i still dont have a solid idea... i want to tune the moped so it hits around 60mph...im aware i could possibly do this by upgrading to a 70cc bore kit and a sports pipe. can i do anything else? when change the pipe and bore kit do i need to change the 'rollers' or 'upjet' it or anything like that? whats the best order to tune the ped, pipe first then bore kit....blah blah blah. also if i change the pipe would there still be any restrictions on the bike or in the sports pipe? if i do this tuning will the moped still pass its mot as a 50cc? i will be working on it myself although a family friend is a mechanic but i would like to do this independently and learn my way around the bike so take it easy on me lol . any helpful replys will be much appriciated, thanks

 

i wouldnt bother with the 70 kit yet i would buy a leo-vince zx or something simlar change clutch springs and rollers , up-jet carb , and make sure the restrictor is removed from the variator and a mallossi airfilter insert

 

oh thanks, is all that easy to learn to do? roughly how much would it cost?

 

leo-vince around £120 comes with springs and rollers
mallossi £5
jets few quid each and it will need up-jetting 10-15% over standard

all easy to do and wont take to long

 

it will do 50mph + with those mods

 

is your nrg liquid or air cooled

 

great thanks alot mate, would getting a carb kit do the same job as 'upjetting by 10-15%' because that doesnt really make sence to me? lol

 

im not too sure, it hasnt been delivered yet mate

 

no carb woulldnt but take you carb apart and find out what jet sizit has and add 10-15% to that number and get a new jet that sizee

 

ok cheers, where abouts would it say the size?

 

on the side of the jet its self

 

ok cool,nice one mate

 

do you know if its a DT or DD model, the DT is air and the DD is water

this is all good news for me too, i have a leo vince zx and up jets (presume springs and rollers too) and presume it will have had the variator done

might be worth getting the leo vince welded up and stuck back on then. and ill whip open the air filter and see whats in there

 

yes defo sort the zx out

 

any ideas how much to weld it up? the crack is about 3 inch long?

 

not alot or you could just buy another cheap one off ebay

 

ill have an ask about see how much, id rather spend 10-15 quid on welding than 100 on a new one

 

im not sure what model it is... liquid or water cooled yet, it's getting delivered on sunday! i cant wait

 

does the zx have a restrictor in it?

 

just found out its liquid cooled, got a couple of polini filters, does around 55mph, malossi pipe, variator washer has been removed, new clutch springs and new rollers
