This thread has a ton of great websites where you can buy parts.

Have you derestricted the muffler yet? That makes a big difference, and doesn't cost anything....


Adding an air filter won't do much for performance, but you will probably need to upjet afterwords to compensate for how lean you'll be running

To your original question:

First remove your exhaust and ascertain that there is not a washer welded in there. If there is, a dremel tool or similar can remove it and your the main problem with output. Having de-restricted your stock pipe, a slightly larger main jet may be necessary. Look up your model/year at MrCycles.com and go to carburetor. Scrfoll down to part number 99101-0**0 . Your main jet size is represented by the **. A bigger jet will add a little more fuel to keep up with the increased volume of air the engine processes and keep it running correctly. With the exhaust so de-restricted and the engine breathing correct mixture, you should easily attain 35MPH. Your holeshot will only improve.

From there, if you purchase a Keli Variator ($40 at DayWOT eBay) instead of your de-restricted stock one, you may see 40MPH or more with that mod alone. No change in acceleration.

Should you decide to drop the airbox and install a UNI or K&N, you may need to jet up another size. It will make your bike a lot noisier. Do one thing at a time and reassess. Buying and installing a pile of parts all at once requires experience and a measure of good luck.

Why the shocked look? My tired old Aero went 38 as a 50cc. Didn't stay that way for long, though... :)

Not if you can operate a socket and a screwdriver. Look in the Tech section.
