Zuma advice needed

Post by MotorMaker »

It seems by speeding up my elite I have started an arms race of sorts with the guy's at work. One of my buddy├óÔé¼Ôäós has a 07 Zuma. The spark plug point's straight forward. I figured that it was the horizontal cylinder. I have heard those zumas can be "very fast" cheap. What parts or mod's do you guy's suggest.

very fast, yes.
cheap? No.

See, all honda parts come from like japan/tywain. the parts are somewhat cheap.
But, all yamaha parts come from over in europe, where the moped scene is out of control. Making parts cost allot more.

ProvoScooters does allot of yamaha stuff. much more then VT cycles.

my buddy has a japanese jog with the same horizontal minarelli motor, with minor exhaust porting and a uni filter, does 50 easy and is barely slower than my built * aero...zuma weighs much more but is very buildable...my brothers does 75 and sounds like a supercross main...athena 70cc, arrow pipe, 19mm carb, reed valve, gears, malossi clutch, variator, etc...team calamari has tons of stuff, as does provoscooter.
