People 50 / Re: Malossi primary gear 6711055
« on: April 27, 2016, 04:48:31 AM »
Hey Chaz, I haven't read thru ur other thread yet, I will before I put a kit in it. I'm not sure if u read my only other thread but I had an 03 people 50 2t, (put everything performance I could find in it except pipe I went with leovince city pipe I think. Looked really nice...)when I got it, it was a bit more beat up than my current one, but my new (to me) 09 with 2400 on the odometer seems to run way better in every way, which could b a lot of factors. My 09 had n oil leak and was parked for a year or so then I got it. Cleaned out fuel system, ran some seafoam thru it and for a few days I thought I was gonna need a new carb(not that it won't get replaced anyway with a 19mm delorto) I took it for a good ride on Sunday and I got it up to 51 (not drafting anyone, no wind, carb came around!) my old bike never ran this good stock!! It is slow to accelerate don't get me wrong. But I'm stoked to put a BBK in it.  I'll keep eyes out for gears for our peeps. Keep ya posted on other components I happen to use, different than u and results

Scoot on!

Hey Chaz, how'd u make out with finding gears?  I had an 03 people a few years ago did everything but gears on it, I posted a thread about my issues then. Since then I've been working at a scooter shop on and off. And just last week I got me a damn fine deal on an 09 people. I loved my red 03 but that thing must of been a lemon. Anyways I'm so stoked about my new peeps, gonna start the performance process. I'm a ways away from slapping gears in it, but I'd like to know if u found gears that work. Searching the internet doesn't give me a lot of answers other than they don't exist or it wot fit. I had my 03 topped out at 58 mph. Really needed gears, she was a screaming!

UPDATE:  after about 7 pistons  and my second crank, I was driving to work one day and my belt blew way before it should. My second crank took a dump. I very sadly patched her back up and sold her. Since then I've heard it went through  another piston and cylinder and never heard of it again. Im sure it's still out there hauling ass. Ain't that a kick in the head. I had a baccio for a little while. Now. I've got my eye on a nice 09 silver people 50. I missed my people  Time to start all over again. a new love affair that's gonna cost me more money and aggravation than a marriage.

My scoots got plenty of power. When It hits 25 and its done shifting it moves! I gotta hold on. I just put in the Malossi 72 kit, not sure I'd need to check squish. Leo Vince recommend the sp3 for my scoot.  R u its sure Ur not thinking of the 4 stroke? Mines a 2 stroke. Anyways just got my variator and new belt.   I guess well see!     BTW what does that pipe do that I removed. Looked like it restricted my clutch

OEM pipe?  Haven't gotten down to the shop yet to look at or talk about it. But to answer some of your questions, that piece u told me to put back in my clutch spring is long gone. And I have a brand new performance CDI. No rev limit.

I actually have, or rather had 10 gram Dr pulley  weights,( my scooter performed fine but not any faster.)ordered the malossi variator, and a belt. Says that it comes with 8.5 weights I think.  Thanks Batman, ill look into some of that stuff... before I got the muffler  I had stock one on and I was pulling front tire off ground. Topped out at 40 so we figured restriction must b in muffler, ended up destroying that muff and having to get Leo vince. (long story and word of advise just keep original, was nothing wrong wit it, I almost feel bike performs better with that stock muff) 
But basically my scooter gets right to 40 and stops.... also not that I want to throw more money in scoot but does anyone have a suggestion for a carb for me? Think what I got will work, then again what do I know.

I haven't read thru all of your post I appreciate it I'm at work at moment. But I did want to chime in that I pretty much needed a new variator anyways. Was destroying my roller weights. And I needed a new belt as well. Post back in few hours.

I want to start off saying thank you to the people reading this and a double thanks for anyone's two cents trying to help me out.
I am relatively new to the scooter world and new to this forum though I tired looking through older posts, however I took a much more head on approach. I got a part time gig working for a nice couple at a local scooter shop. Do keep in mind I am a bit mechanically inclined and I've got this guy watching my back.
THE PROBLEM: I can't seem to get my scooter to do over 40 mph (roughly, ya know if I'm going down hill or kicking my feet like Fred Flintstone and ducking I can get a few more mph)     
THE SPECS:  I've got a 03 people 50 two stroke. When I got it, it was pretty much stock. Since then I put in the 72cc Malossi kit a performance CDI(needed new one anyway), Leo Vince SP3 muffler(i believe that's what its called, its what's written on it.  Also BTW I love that muffler, I wanted performance without all the ruckus involved, live in a quiet neighborhood. Looks good and gave it nice sound).
I've been through almost every inch of that scooter and removed any restrictions I saw along the way, which right now I can only think of one since I replaced the CDI,  that metal tube with the flange in the giant spring in the clutch. My mentor thinks we need to change the gears in the transmission. It seems those gears are hard to find for my bike. I called what seems to be a reputable parts place on the west coast, this guy told me he had a people 50 and all he did was put in the same Malossi kit I did and a Malossi variator and he claims he was doing 60mph just with those two upgrades... neither one of us sees how I'm going to gain 20 mph with that.  I forget the size of my carb. Perhaps a 18.  I was running very good for a lil, doing bout 45 but I overheated. We've been playing with the carbon jets right now I've got a  115 in there, tho I'm back at 40.
I've been working on this headache for entirely too long, I want my scooter back!  Word of advise: DONT FIX SOMETHING THAT'S NOT BROKEN!     I'm kinda at a loss right now can anyone help me?  I've got some pictures if that'll help.
