What I've been wondering/thinking is.
The scooter travelling in traffic will travel at say 60mph @ 6000rpm
Now if using the 6000 model the scooter will be running fully retard at say 19degs
However the 7000 model may be at 20 & the 8000 at 21 at the same 6000rpm - 60mph
Even though the scoot will rev through to 8000rpm is it not an advantage to get the scoot fully retarded
at a cruising speed on a road going scooter?
Or am I missing something?
I see what you're saying and thought about this before fitting mine, I went for a 7000 model on my mugello, but it still has the original [rather low] Li 125 Special gearing, so i am revving fairly high [possibly too much?] when riding on A roads etc.
So far [about 200 miles] I am liking the improved response low down.
I did find on fitting it, the instructions say turn the stator fully a/c, if i had done this my idle timing, and so subsequently the final retard figure [if I'm understanding it right] would've been far too high. So I ended up setting it about in the middle. I had had the stator fully c/w [with some enlarging of the slots] to get the timing where I wanted before I got the Agusto. This was on a Scooter Restorations stator.
I'd recommend an Agusto.
