Just put a smaller rear sprocket on it and you will need to take sum links out or you chain too but it will be heaps slower of the mark

Bigger tyre = more distance covered per revolution of the wheel Seriously though, it's a scooter and it's not meant to be fast? Are you really planning to ride it on 80km/h+ speed limited roads?

no mate im not planning on going 200km/h just another 20km/h on my top speed and that would work nicely its not really ideal when ur driving along at redline @ 60km/h LoL!

All you can change is your sprockets. Do some research and find out what your current gearset is, and find if you can purchase a lower ratio set. Going by that first pic and your avatar, you come across as a weird weird person... No offence of course. haha

just drop 2 teeth on the sprocket. Dont bother going any more or you will basically negate what your trying to save.

A mate of mine got a stroker kit fitted for $250 on his. Gives about 10kph extra and more low end boot. then theres exhausts etc.... you could be a complete tool and get it doing low 16s down the quarter if your pockets are deep enough......

"Kitaco Type III high speed pulley for AF61/AF62 (Honda Today 50, Honda 'Smart' Dio). Increase acceleration above 40km/h, extend top speed by 15-20km/h on standard engine" looks like what ive been after. only $124..
