Yep.
I'm kinda thinking the scooters, with their CVT transmissions, unlike motorcycles, are pretty much what they are.
Best improvement for increased performance is to upgrade to a larger displacement model that is engineered to do more.
From what I can see, the most cost effective changes made to any smaller engine size scooter would be to change variator weights, rejet the carb, and perhaps drill the muffler open just a little to relieve back pressure at the expense of a little more noise.
Snipping the limiter wire on the CDI unit could bring more rpm.
Other than top quality tires for your conditions and riding style, That's about it !
(Oh, a lighter rider is both quicker and faster than a heavier one ! )
Unless your goal is to get the absolute MAX from your scooter model, at any expense, which may be a valid concept, also.
Fun stuff !
