Hello, 1600 miles on the 3.5 month old LIKE 200i LX.
Scoot seems to be running quite well - plenty of pep when I need to do an escape turning in an intersection - pulls 250lbs of me nicely up hills.
I did do my first high speed run for 5 mins 2 days ago - had it up to 50mph - and decided that:
1) need a billiard table to do 50mph on
2) 50mph is 10mph over my personal limit
3) 60 mph attemps will be left to fellow forum writers (if I need 60 mph will go home & get in my 2013 Scion xB, put the A/C on and insert the Mumford & Sons CD)

So, my question is - I have a nice set of 13gr Dr Pulley sliders. Bearing in mind that I like the present reaction/performance of the scooter - will I gain something if I install the Dr Pulleys? Smoother ? Quieter ? What ?
The iridium plug made things better - the Amsoil scooter synthetic oil makes ME feel better (but highly doubt anyone can 'feel' a difference in their scooter's performance between various oils) will the Dr Pulleys do something nice, too?
Need you veteran LIKE riders to give me your thoughts.....as soon I probably will take a peek in the belt cover for the 1st time.

...........gotta stick a picture on here........look at the size of the lake this guy lives near!....

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

I'm from the school of "if it ain't broke...."
As long as you're happy with your ride that's all that matters.

All the best.
