Squish

I'm new in all that concerns to scooters but, there is a first time for everything. I have a Zuma 2005 with only one mile on the speedo that I start breaking apart as soon received. Starting from the crank I bought all the goodies that need for more performance. Malossi recomend a piece solder wire between .90 to 1mm to measure the squish I only can find .81 and 1.36mm, which one I can use? thanks in advance

...

I usally use 2mm wire when i messure the squish, it just need a few more stomps on the kickstarter.

If anything about measuring your Squish............A definetely needed tool 2 use is Digital calipers.Just like BuEn says 2mm wire would be just perfect. Cause if your use wire 2 think u will get a wrong reading which will lead u 2 loss of performance or the worst part of it detination which will turn into a very expensive problem.Trust me i know lol.Another thing 2 check 2 is your cylinder compression.... if it is 2 high you will need higher octane fuel....also how high u are from sea level.Down here in bermuda our pump fuel octane is 96 which is nice and we are right on the sea level. So for our pump fuel we set the squish at .5 or .55 2 be safe. (just remeber the closer u get the more heat u are makin).So if you are closer than .5 check into higher octane fuel.With dealin with your squish it more complex then u think.Spark plug also is a must......You need the right heat range plug 2 help disperse the heat in your cylinder. WEll chisp 3 I could go on and on About it. Just remeber its not a 2 second job 2 get right + be fast and reliable if anything...Best of luck 2 u in your journey 2 squish world.
