Just realized the speedometer pic is an older one I've already posted

Top speed is still the same though.

Gps has me average around 62-65 mph.

Edit:Add

Although running at 50mph is where it feels best at. 60+ is just a max speed.

I figured I'd post an update for 2015. New stuff in sig, and a slightly new look for the Kymco.

Agree with BettinANDlosing. 1.5hp (or even 2hp if you are optimistic) isn't a lot to work with. Another issue could be that the belt is getting hot enough to start to stretch a bit.

I used some of that sticky tack for posters on the end of a bamboo skewer to get a bulb out of a turn signal housing on my wife's car once. Maybe the same thing would work here?

I just recently ordered new tires as well. After a bit of research I didn't find any info on putting a bigger tire on the rear rim, so I just went with stock sizes.

I've run about a 50:1 ratio for a long time now. Seems to be working good so far. It's a little smokey on start-up, but once it's up to temp it's just fine.

Just to close out this thread out with the fix. I discovered that not all new plugs are necessarily good plugs. Good thing I bought a set of 3. Swapped plugs, and the issue went away. Just to be sure, I put the other plug back in. Problem returned. Same brand. Same gap. The bad plug had about 10 miles on it, and every one of those miles it gave me troubles.

And stay tuned...I'll be adding to my other main thread soon as I'm expecting a few new springtime goodies to add to my build.

I've thought about getting these tires too, but the amount of dirt and junk that the white would pick up would have my OCD going and I really don't want to have to clean my tires every day. I already use spray wax several times a week to keep things shiny. 2 strokes are usually just a bit grungier than other scooters too.

Just under 4000 miles.

It's been rainy and cold, so I haven't had a lot of time to get out and mess with it. I haven't put it up on the center stand and run it out to see if it has the same issue yet, but I will as soon as I get a chance. I would guess that load makes no difference just from riding it.  It's always right at 30mph. If I back out of the throttle I can get it to smooth out. My RPM before the issue max out at WOT top speed at about 11k. Cruising good at about 8k RPM. The issue seems to be RPM related. It just so happens that 30mph corresponds to around 8500 rpm, under load or not. So my guess is a center stand test will prove this.

Ok. I have a problem that I cannot figure out. I have great acceleration from 0-30. Nothing any different than it has ever been. As soon as I get near 30mph, (on the flat, up hill, down hill, it doesn't matter), it starts missing out badly. Even then it is still making power enough to eventually get me near my usual top speed. I pre-mix, and have not changed the ratio at all. I have taken the carb apart and thoroughly cleaned it even though I have recently done that. I still have great compression. The plug has about 500 miles on it and doesn't look terrible at all. The reeds are new within about 500 miles as well. The only things I haven't checked is an air leak or the fuel filter. Can anyone point me to something obvious that I might be missing?  Build details are current in the sig.

I used the sockets from an 89 Honda Elite. They even twist to lock like OEM would.

Here is one similar to it. I've had a lot of questions about it. I can't find any more like I got. I think I got lucky before they sold out. With the one above, it requires ordering the hardware kit too. $150 +shipping for the whole deal. If I remember right, I paid about $180.
