This is what I know.. I have done 6 scooters all of them GY6 4 strokes.. I have put on the big bore kits. I can tell you the upgrade to power is amazing.. Install can take an hour or 2 on the first one. The second only takes an hour at the most. Again.. These have all bee GY6 139qmb engines.. Here in Colorado, you must be 16 with a valid drivers license in order to drive a 49cc scooter. You must also have the Low power sticker and valid insurance. You do not need to have a motor cycle endorsement . Once you Get the VIN, proof of insurance , then you can get the low power sticker from Colo Dept of Revenue, and then you are legal provided you are 16 with a valid drivers license. Now.. About the Power up kit.. Who is going to know? And how would they know? By adding a power up kit to your 4 stroke, you will be able to do 45mph on the flats and up hills.. You will no longer be hugging the white line at 30mph or 35 on a good day.. The power up kits will only help everyone !! Cars will not be angry with you.. Besides.. The power up kits for the 4 strokes will allow the 4 strokes to go like the stock 2 strokes .. Maybe a little more.. Maybe.. But.. REally. About the same.. The power up kits really are needed for the 4 strokes as they really are slow out of the box.. And they, or they have been easy to do and worth every penny ..
Now.. With that.. I must say that I have never done a Kymco 4 stroke.. But I am going to.. I just bought a very nice Kymco Agility 50T 4S with 800 miles. It is a stock all the way scooter.. Slow for sure.. Runs ok.. But does not make the power.. It is a 50 4 stroke.. So.. I have been doing a search for a Power up kit for the Kymco. From what I can tell. It is the same kit for the GY6 139qmb as for the Kymco. And I still have a spare power up kit for the 139qmb .. Yes !! So.. Keep Posted. I will let you all know how this power up Kit goes for this Kymco 4 stroke.
As for all the other power up kits I have installed.. I can tell you.. it is worth it big time !! I have done 4 of my own scooters, and 1 customer scooter.. And all have been fantastic !! The only thing I install is the new cylinder , piston, and ring sets. That is all.. Keep everything else the same.. What you want to do is this. Make sure your scooter is running correctly before you attempt to install any big bore/power up kit. If you have a good running scooter, then once you are done with the power up kit, you will be amazed.. No Carb Change is needed, no change in jetting is needed.. Simply install the base Gasket, new cylinder with piston and rings, and new Crush Head Gasket.. That is all !! And once you are done, you too will be amazed. You will have a blast !! I will do a video on this Kymco Scooter using the GY6 139QMB big bore kit.. So.. Keep in touch !! And.. Enjoy the ride !!
