Greetings:

I too installed the Malossi primaries into my Aero Flash I and II.
At 7.83:1, slow take-off is the price paid for 60 MPH Speed capability.

The only other option is to convert completely to later AF 16 tramsmission parts, then purchase secondaries designed for that block.

I have never done it, but TrafficJamz has, methinks. If you try it, I suggest 9:1 for 50cc and 8.44 for a 65cc.

Even with a robust and fully-kitted 65cc big block and 24mm carbs, the Malossi geared Aero is at NO risk of wheelying.
The faster take-off of the ZX transmission pulley isn't an option on the 05 block either. The crank end is too short to fit the longer variator boss required.

i c.. well i think next in line is a af16 if this thing blows up.

but after riding it all day today i plan on putting the tall gears back in. the sluggish starts are not as bad as rapped out doin 45 .

maybe play with rollors abit to get back alil take off speed.

A stouter spring and light rollers will help the 10-up, but there's no fix for 0-10.
Still, if you time the lights and ignore Stop signs, it's fine.

setup was built by scooterwerx
af05 with malossi bbk
malossi reeds
areche 21mm carb
koso vari
cdi
delta clutch
leo vince pipe
malossi special belt
90-90-10 tire on metropolitan rim
with the tall gears it would do 48-50 on flats ,55 on a down grade, and 35-40 on a upgrade
48-50 is riding around 7,500-800 rpms 55 is more around 8,200
but we feel it has a lil too much carb so im picked up an aero 125 on ebay should be here this week.
