57MPH Tops.
« on: October 10, 2011, 09:56:36 PM »
Right ive done some more to my kymco and she now does 57mph down hill (this is the best I have got so far)

To get my ped to do this ive
- Cut the CDI
- Leovince Pipe
- 5.5g Rollers
- Cut the boss drive
- Race Variator

P.S The ped is still a 50. It doesnt have a 80cc/90cc kit fitted

What else can i do to get more out of it? Might try 5g rollers? The ped seems to be rubbish up hill! Any other tips, recomendations of other parts i should get?

One of my scooter buddys did the same but the pipe he just cut and clean out the inside and welded it back together and he can get it up to 55 down hill.

If you can get to 57mph then you are doing far better than most on here, i cant see how you could get it any faster without towing it behind a car  ;D

Most struggle to hit 50mph wihout a big bore kit. I only average 45-48mph and i have the same set.up as you almost apart from the leo vince. Take it you fitted a larger main jet anyway?

What variator do u have? What size belt? Or is belt stock?

If i ever got to 57 i would be more than happy, in fact i would be amazed. 51-52 is.my record.but that was.down a long hill using 7.5g rollers. There are a few guys on the forum running 70 or 80 cc kits who only get 50-55mph so if your speedo is correct then you are well over the scooters  limitations really. When you say it was downhill you got 57mph, it wasnt a vertical hill was it? i.e, a cliff?  :D

Castrol 4t 10w40 racing oil claims to reduce enging friction and increase power by 3% i use it in both my scoots also you could look into a lighter racing gear oil, the only other thing i could imagine you could do is make the scooter lighter if you do dont use it lose it rear rack buddy seat and if you trust your elec start remove your kick lever etc and inflate your tyres to max pressure, all this may seem a little extreme but it depends how serious you take it, but i would imagine you are at your limit now without blowing that little 4t engine it must be reving its little heart out.....

Correct speedo on a Kymco 50? not likely. They are optimistic for this very reason.

Yeah sid my speedo is about 10% out, my gps was about 43mph where my speedo had 48mph showing, engine was up at 8500-8750rpm at that speed as far as i remember. Given that as a rough guide if the top speed was 57 on the gauge that would prob be around 51mph actual  :o . Seems too high for just a 50cc Agility with no major mods. Wonder if he meant km/h cos I never heard of an Agility going so fast without a Big bore kit on it. Either that or it was a massive steep hill  ;D

This is why people should not belive everything they read . A50 owners will be obsessing over this and destroying their rides trying to acheve the impossible .

I know i asked you recently about derestricting my a50 but for now i have decided to keep it as standard, i cycled to work a few times last week for the challenge/exercise 12 mile round trip, it made me apreciate my a50 it may only go 30mph but it is still a lot quicker and easier than peddleing especialy when there is a head wind, also it will keep me out of trouble ;D we get a lot of mobile ANPR/speed cameras in north wales i got caught recently doing 35mph in a 30 im my car £60 fine and 3 points :(.....

I could never go back to riding a restricted scoot now, it would drive me insane going so slow.

Before I sold the zx, I put the stock carb and inlet back on, leaving all else as was and the difference was incredible, it was almost scary to ride. It would still wind out to 80 on the clock but wouldn't outrun a fart. I doubt I could go back to stock after doing mods.

Sometimes I wonder - what is the point of all this mods - why not get a bigger bike.    :-X

More fun in doing the mods and seeing what effect each change has.
