The biggest Bang fo the Buck would be; Remove the air box and replace it w/ a free flow whatever filter fits your riding style. 2' snorkel or a  velocity stack. Put a bigger main jet (maybe 3-4 sizes bigger) If you want more top end a smaller rear sprocket is the second suggestion. You will loose some of the jump from the start if you don't do the Box too.

Thats why I mentioned the snorkel too. You can easily adapt some of the stock plumbing to keep it Hi, and dry. If you have a dry storage area (under seat) I have mounted air filters in there too.

The sprocket should work out great. Can you post a pict of the cdi you have as stock? The cdi will make NO difference on your mx'r. Your factory box runs at full range w/ no restrictions. The only difference would be in the spark timing, and I think kymco has that down pretty good. setting up the filter/main jet will give you 3-4mph, and the 17t sprocket will do about the same. adding a pipe down the road will add another 4-5

hi

Well the cdi box looks just the same as the one on that site. thats good to know about that as there selling it for 100 and something pounds. if i found a rear sprocket to it would run good with the front one??

I used to run a 490cc Factory Mako back in the day. W/ a 34 tooth rear it would run over 75mph in the dirt. W/ a 48 tooth it would not reach 60, but could pull the front end in any gear, at any speed. I don't think there is a factory replacement for the rear sprocketon the mx, but you can try comparing yours to Honda/Yamaha ect. To find one w/ the same bolt pattern. Smaller tooth count at the rear= more mph! 100 plus pounds is insane for a cdi. If you find yours to go bad just stick w/ the factory replacement.
