Looking for a little insight on where I should start with modifications on my new scooter. I bought this scooter (2009 People 50 2T 1500 miles/km can't tell the miles per hr on top on the speedo but all the others I've seen have km on top???) from a police auction for $250 bucks. The scooter had no keys, so I hot wired it and I tried to start it up... didn't fire, so I pulled apart the whole bike cleaned everything, carb, block, transmission, drained the lines and tanks, bought a new battery and it fired right up. The scoot takes a half kick on the kicker and it purrs like the finest persian kitty.
I have been riding it around for a couple days now and I find it odd that the scooter does a solid 25 with me and my wife on it, and with only me on it, and with only my wife on it. Where should I start with mods so I can get this thing going. I'm on a pretty tight budget right now (I can put money into it later, kinda a spur of the moment purchase) so where is the best place to start. The bike also has some cone filter on it instead of the stock air filter but it looks like some car filter that was modified
I've read the Boss Drive Face is important but how do I tell if it has already been replaced? I understand how to keep things stock and keep good maintenance so it runs properly but changing parts to get better performance has been confusing. I have a copy of the People 50 service manual from 1999 is there a newer manual I should try to acquire??
Thanks for any and all advice!!
