Hello all, I bought a Kymco Like 50lx 2t yesterday with 300 miles on it. The owner still had the lipless boss and 82 jet so I installed both of those. That brought my speed up from 25mph max to about 30mph max. However, it occasionally sputters from 4mph to 12ishmph. I rode a Genuine Roughhouse 50 and bone stock derestricted it hit 45mph so I would hope that there is more speed available on the like and am curious if there are other restrictions in place. If so how do I go about removing them? Any writeups/faq's?
This is my first scooter but I am mechanically inclined and have been working on cars/trucks for years.
My gf has the exact same model with a 70cc kit, variator w/ 6.5g weights, and technigas exhaust and it will do over 50mph and accelerates great. The Like in stock trim feels downright dangerously slow!
Since my gf and I both have Like 50lx's I plan on being around for a long time.
Cheers and thanks in advance for any/all help.
