Hi forum.
I was looking at a Kymco ZX 50 for sale I know it has the Honda AF16 clone motor.
Are taller gears available for Kymco ZX 50?
Thanks in advance on any info.

Not really. You have 6.89:1 or stock 11:1. With a 130/70-12 you can get the ratio to around 10:1ish. Stock tire and gearing can get you to 60 no problem if kitted.
