dude is that 50cc?
The restrictions are normally in the exhaust pipe, air filter and also it is possible that it has a little restriction plate under you intake. (In between the block and the carburator.)
Hope it helps, it could reach speeds up to 55 MPH
Rydah,
Do you have a shop tach you can hook up to it and see what rpm you are topping out at? I'm suspecting you are topping out around 8,000 rpm at that speed, which might indicate a rpm-limiter in the CDI.
Then again, if the speedo is accurate (lol), I'd only expect between 40-45 mph anyway.

lol, those turbo kit pipes are usually just a joke. Worse than some of the leo vince pipes...
lol, yeah i know that now. i just wanted something so i can disconnect the kat system because i thought that was holding it back. now i find out that the turbo kit pipe is even worst. i just need the bike to go 50 at least so i can have something to cruise on while i finish off my projects.
You told me to stay away from the Derbi because of how slow it was and you bought the same motor. LOL. Sorry had to laugh at you on this one. Let me know what you can get out of it and I might get the Derbi anyway.
In the short term if you hammer the little tube (fold it over) where it comes off of the pipe it should be better. It breaks up the power pulses in the pipe which kill the pumping. Also check the head to see if you can machine that up easily and deck it for more compression. Without spending any cash that might be your biggest boost.
lol, i dont have a derbi, i have a piaggio. i told you to say away from a derbi manhatten. only in the last couple of years does the derbi have a piaggio engine. the older derbis with derbi engines suck, everybody knows that. there is nothing wrong with piaggio engines, they can make plenny power.
So I guess we now have to say "out here in Hawaii we ride the fastest scooters in the world - well with the exception of Rydah.... what a turd on his typhoon..."
