Who would have ever thought a girl would be better than a bottle...

LOL  try it one dark evening  ;-)

Hey Guys,

So I just purchased a 2005 People 50 2t.  It's a great little scooter but I bought it knowing it has an issue.  The scooter tops out at about 20 MPH.  The engine runs strong and it sounds maxed out when it's doing the 20 but it won't get faster than that.  Now I know they're not made to go 500 MPH, but it should be going around 35-40, right?  Well tonight I pulled appart the CVT and put in new rollers and a new belt.  Absolutely nothing.  Same top speed (if not slightly slower since I put in slightly lighter rollers) and I got nothin'.  The clutch looked good.  The pads looked good.  No significant wear anywhere that I could see.  I have no idea where to go from here.  I don't know if it's the clutch or the variator.  It would seem to me that it's not getting up into the higher "gear" range which is why it's maxing out at 20.  So I put my problem to the Kymco Gods and ask what I should do??

  you said, you put in lighter weights? no man put in couple of grams heavier weights, that will give you bit more speed.

..i tried it...didnt know what it was...

..tasted like chicken...

             

  ohh, you have tried it,   but still dont know what it is?   hhhhmmmmm

Alright lads, got a bit of money spare and thinking of maybe a few mods!

My friend has got a 59 aerox and recently put a bigger carb on it, it took a lot of tweeking and setting up however it flies and leaves me at about 52 on flat. He paid £1450 for his aerox and i paid £160 for the agility and up to last week i was beating him!

What your opinions on Race clutchs? it wont improve the top end however with my kymco being four stroke its totally rubbish on take off.

What about a new coil? Any reviews on this

also looking at a variator plate as hopefully it will work well with the race variator already in mine.

I think im going to put the standard airbox back on and change my jet to about an 82/84.

Any other reviews you've got?

cheers!

Hi,
What is that you are trying to do? Faster take off or top end ?

There is lots of ways of doing it, shade some light on it.
Cheers mate

I got oven paint from ebay and did my exhaust maybe 6-8 months ago. Still ok now but starting to come off a bit. Most decent high temp stove or oven paints will last around a yr or so then need redone again. I also got an exhaust off ebay ages ago for £16 i think. Much cheaper than a dealers.

£16 man thats cheap....................   I am out of words.

Hi Matt,
This is what I found out,
"A black dry fluffy colored plug is caused by deposits from a carburetor that is running too rich (too much gas),or excessive idling on some engines.
Black smoke coming from the exhaust is a sign of a rich air/fuel mixture. The rich air/fuel mixture must be repaired before installing a new spark plug.
Common causes for a rich air/fuel mixture are:
dirty air filter.
air mixture screw or carburetor needs adjusting.
choke is sticking.
carburetor float height is out of adjustment or float is sticking open."

Just installing carb wont help, you need to adjust CO levels.

By looking your pictures, it looks like running too rich - either too much petrol OR less air.
