Big bore kits unbalance the rotational dynamics and enhance bearing failure.

Not worth it.for cold starting all you need is bigger jet and better air to gas mix

These kits (I got mine from ScrappyDog) are really awesome.  The starting & acceleration is really impressive, although the top speed doesn't change much.  I also added a performance CDI to increase max RPM, and a set of hi-speed gears to increase top speed.  The Kymco 50cc 4T SD10E seems to be a standard qmb139 engine, and every qmb139 part I've used fits exactly.  I now cruise easily at 9,000rpm at 45mph (70km/hr).  The only part needing some extra research are the reduction gears (one of the gear clusters is a Kymco piece, not a standard qmb139 piece.  But it's easy to sort out).  Another tip: the 80cc kit is a 60% increase in engine size, and the little battery struggled to twist the qmb139 starter.  I upgraded to a 7-series battery and it now starts like a pistol shot!  Other parts used: #90 carb jet; straight-thru sport muffler.  Removed intake restrictor grommet, but kept stock air filter & box.  Switched to 7gm variator weights, Honda Dio Keli variator with stock clutch.  It's really loud now - and really quick!
