You need to check what gear box and what sprockets you have front and rear. This link will help you work out what gearing you currently have. I think you should be looking at a ratio of about 5.2 https://www.scooterhelp.com/tuning/lam.gear.calc.html 18/47 with a 125 special gearbox. Sent from my iPh...

Re: AC vs DC stators and electronic kits.

mick1 wrote:The ac stator only has capability for a small dc output (trickle charge a battery), whereas the dc stator uses all the available power for dc giving full dc power to lights, etc.

Re: Engine Rebuild

I was quoted 300 plus parts for a strip and rebuild with new seals and bearings. It soon adds up if you start upgrading and replacing other parts like clutch etc

Which exhaust?

Someone put me on to the reviews in the Scootering mag. Shall wait for the final part next month but for under 100 the AF VW pipe looks like good VFM !

Looking forward to seeing how the BGM pipe compares

Scoot will be used one up arou...
