Hi yall,

I can't seem to figure out why my scooter won't speed up more then 55kmh (35 miles at most).
I just spent 288 euros in a retarded service and no result. They upgraded to a racing CDI though then reverted everything I had on the scooter to stock, saying it's better.
I had my clutch glazed and because I already had 9000km with it I bought a Malossi Clutch and bell, put it back together and it didn't go over 35kmh (20mph), so I gave up.
Service guys said it's my stock CDI at fault, so they replaced it with the racing one and said the problem is fixed but now I think I have more revs and same speed as the initial stock CDI.

Anyway, it's not about that. I'm now running:
Polini Speed Control with 8 grams
Racing CDI
RMS Clutch with sport springs, Malossi Speed Bell (I also have a Fly Clutch but I feel the RMS pulling a bit better after testing both)
Malossi White Contra Spring (1000)
Malossi Kevlar Belt

Sometimes after I run it for 2-3 km at max speed 55kmh (35 mils) and it loses power, almost shuts down, like there's no more gas in the carb.
After a few seconds it starts right up and everything is ok again.

The 8 grams I feel a bit heavy when driving, it goes up in revs along with the speed. I bet they're good for consumption, but that's not what I"m looking for.

With the stock CDI it used to go 55kmh (35 miles) with just the Polini Variator and 6.9 grams, everything else stock.

I would expect a bit more from a racing CDI.

I'm planning to try lighter rollers over the weeked, I have some 6.9 and some 3grams and I'm going to combine 6.9 and 3. I tried the 6.9 and it wasn't much of a difference.
With just the 3, the engine revved a lot but it didn't pull much, max speed 10mph, something like that.

Also after the service, I've noticed the idle is a little bit higher. If I rev it quickly, the revs go down a lot and then up again and I don't see a difference in revs when cold and warm. I would blame the electric choke. Not sure how to test that.

What do you guys think?

No chance. I'm afraid I might break the plastic if I stick the screw driver in too deep. The manual doesn't say anything about any clip, just 6 screws and the plastic cover should come off.

It feels like it's holding on on the bottom part though, I've attached a picture from the manual. There are 3 more screws on the bottom of the tail light but to take those off I need to unbolt the mud protector which has even more screws. Did anyone else struggled with this? I feel I'm going crazy, as it should be a really simple thing to do, bulbs burn out all the time.

Hi guys,

Nice to meet everyone, I'm new to this forum.

I tried to change my brake light to a LED one from RMS, I removed the 6 screws holding the plastic cover and it won't come off.

Is there any trick to it, I'm afraid not to damage the plastic if I pull too hard. Did anyone else struggle with it?

Thanks!
