one thing that worries me is i run my A50 hard i clock 20+ miles a day every day

..i bought my '08 a50 new, in december of 07...i have ridden it pretty much every day since...my commute is 35 miles round-trip, 6 and sometimes 7 days a week... 75% 2-lane 55mph roads...thus the LEDs and the need for increased speed...

..the key to longevity is thorough service and preventive maintenance....treat your scoot like she's your best girlfriend and she'll never let you down...

Wow, I totally just typed a reply and it didn't post!  Here it goes again!  The main clutch spring can limit your top speed if your rollers are too light to overcome the resistance in the clutch pulleys.  The loss of speed may have also been caused by the restricted cdi which was not allowing the engine to spin the variator fast enough to close the variator.  You may want to try the "1000" main spring again with the cut cdi.  If you still have a loss of speed you need to go with heavier rollers.  The small clutch spring will also make a big difference in take off acceleration!  CVT tuning can be an art form!  It takes everything working in perfect harmony to get a screaming scoot!

Haha!  That's what that 24 does!  No more drinking for me!  Although, playing with the scoot in the snow sounds kinda fun right about now!  Haven't had that opportunity before! ;D

That should be on a label on the frame. Might be on the goose neck or under the seat. Maybe in the battery compartment.    this site will have it     http://www.kymco.com/showroom/showroom_index.asp
