New to this place and scooter world. I purchase 01 honda elite s and started modifying it. Installed polini corsa and keli hi-speed pulley, drilled the exhaust pipe to the max. I did the break in process and then my carb started leaking gas. I clean and adjust the carb and after I put everything back together the scooter has no take off power. I used to go up hill about 25mph now it won't even go pass 10 mph. Thingking of getting new gears but don't know what kind? please help
what are you running for a carb??????and where is leaking from what kind of breaking process did you you also. you will need gears with that build to get out iof it what you paid for there is no doubt. i run 8;44.1 gears and i like them. there are a FEW really qualified people on this forum that will prolly chime in.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yes they are odd. i have messed around a lot over the last couple years with differant weights and springs myself. its a lot of switching many differant parts in the transmission to get the comebo that is right for each build

RUNNING ON STOCK CARB AND EXHAUST. TALKED TO KEONI OF VTCYCLES YESTERDAY AND SAID TO GET CLUTCH SPRING AND COMPRESSION SPRING BUT THEY'RE CURRENTLY OUT OF STOCK. I ALSO ASK HIM ABOUT WHAT KIND OF CARB TO GET AND EXHAUST BUT THEY ALSO OUT OF STOCK. IS THERE ANY OTHER PLACE TO GET PARTS BESIDES VT CYCLE IN HAWAII. I LIVE IN VA
The gas was leaking from carb. The float valve got stuck to open position. I was able to figure it out and clean it. Still running slow on the take off.
The break in process wa to run 300 miles not pass 30mph.

I LIVE IN MI, BUT AROUND HERE YELLING IS A BIT OUT OF THE ORDINARY.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.
You never drill out the exhaust just grind the washer out, also never put in a bore kit unless you change the gears and do other stuff, you dial in the trans according to your weight & riding style.
Alright felas, got a new project here.
1. new exhaust manifold - installed, done
2. oko 28mm carb & cable - done, what do I do with bystander cable?
3. 7 to 1 gears, how do I remove the gears with out a press.
4. compression spring, any suggestion how to remove the spring.
5 new exhaust. pg long
