We have no way of telling, let us know how it goes though.

You'll have the peace of mind that on that day and on that dyno the readings and jetting were set up correctly and hopefully safely. You'll also get the benefit of someone with a lot of experience setting scooters up.

If you're lucky you might you might be able to get an improvement performance.

Agree he will get it set up right it may be the gearing causing it not to pull to its full performance

Might be as simple as changing the front sprocket up or down a tooth to get the best out out of your carb and pipe, but could just as easily mean a complete change of drive train to get suitable ratios.

Do you know what sprockets and gearbox are in it now?

If you know what gearbox and sprockets you have in it you need to define what ratio you need to get the best out of your bike with the carb and pipe you have fitted plus suiting it to the type of riding you do

Have a look here the gear chart from AF Rayspeed it will help in your set up

Hope this helps I'm sure when you take it for dyno he will advise you if he sees it as an issue

I would really appreciate it if you could post up info and your thoughts on the day and process, Im planning on getting mine run in, then hiring a van for the day and going for a dyno session to get it setup right, cant afford to build it again

would like to know what they do, never been to a dyno session
heavy is good, heavy is reliable, and if it does fail, hit them with it!!!
