Better take off.

Post by MIKEBB »

I want a better take off speed. How do you do it?

Set up: Polini corsa, 28 mm oko carb, up graded intake manifold, pg long, 1500 rpm spring, polini clutch spring, 7:1 gear, racing cdi.

I have no problem with top speed. I would rather have better take off than top speed. I feel like I have to open the full throttle just to get the scooter to start moving.

Stiffer clutch springs or 8.44 gears.
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.

well, i talked to a few people and the PGLong pipe that everyone runs is not the best for take off. The pgLong is really a 90cc pipe, it works great for giving 72cc bikes the best top end, but you would get tons more take off with a 72cc based pipe.

That might work.
