i assume that 7. gears will stretch out my powerband that right now ends around 60 but still climbs past just not super fast. i've got like 70 miles on fresh motor right now so i havent done a WOT run yet but this scoot does hit 60 at 2/3 throttle. i would like to keep the whoop-ass acceleration it'...

Weird loss of power take a look

So i hit the gas and speed up to 40 and then let off the gas to coast for a bit but when i go to give it gas again and it will not rev up any higher than the coasting speed. opening the throttle did not make it rev up at all. it only does this once in a while but usually motor is warm. any ideas?

So what about making it quieter?

so i just finished my mini-stroked Corsa build and it's alive but REAL loud. it sounds like an 80cc dirtbike with the PG long on it. Has anyone found a way to muffel the muffler or add a silencer or something along those lines?
