Scooter owners sometimes decide to tune their "iron horse" in order to increase its performance, improve acceleration or stand out from the crowd with its powerful exhaust bass. If there is no money for a more powerful scooter, you can improve it yourself.
Basic nuances
You can add more power to the scooter engine by running in and removing the restrictor (speed limiters) from the vehicle. However, at the same time, one should not forget about the technical condition of the remaining units and parts of the scooter, so that later it does not have to be repaired in a professional car workshop. You can also replace the original scooter muffler with a tuning resonance tube by choosing a model suitable for its cylinder-piston group.
The most suitable resonance tubes for tuning are brands such as Technigas Next, LeoVince ZX, Laser X, Polini No Smoke, Techigas Silent Pro and LeoVince SP3 / Turing.
In accordance with the characteristics of the supplied tuning pipe, it is also necessary to rebuild the transmission - this will give an increase in dynamics and raise the maximum speed of the scooter by 10-15 kilometers per hour. The old carburetor can be replaced with a new device with an optimal diffuser diameter (17.5 millimeters), which is the most convenient to install and configure. The manufacturer of the tuning carburetors does not really matter.
Improvement of the filling
To tune a scooter, you also need to replace its variator with a sports model - such devices are tuned to the new characteristics of the motor much better and more accurately. Manufacturers equip modern models of tuning variators with a rod lubrication system in order to increase the efficiency of the entire transmission part of the scooter. Smoother and easier movement of the variator on the hub will significantly improve the scooter's throttle response. It is also possible to increase the performance of a scooter with the help of a competent installation of a tuning cylinder-piston group.
Installing the latter is the most radical and effective method of increasing the performance and power of the scooter.
The set with a tuning cylinder-piston group usually comes with a cylinder head, the shape of the combustion chamber of which is optimized. If the owner also plans to install pistons with a large diameter, it is important to monitor the ideal technical condition of the crankshaft and bearings - otherwise they will fail very quickly due to heavy loads. At this stage, the tuning of the scooter can be completed, since for other improvements it is easier to buy a more powerful vehicle and not be fooled by installing expensive tuning parts.
