I personally would be scared to mess with the electronics of what I believe is an already good machine. Too much risk for too little gain.

Seems like they make these things for darn near every EFI bike - I see their ads in my son's motorcycle mags.
I don't know what to make of it all.
I think the 163cc LIKE has a very conservatively engineered and constructed engine. I like to think of it as being purposely under-stressed, like early Beetle engines. Built for longevity rather than max power.

In any event - I'm not tempted - If I really want more beans in this class I'll shop for that great well-tuned SYM 170cc scoot on C.L. Those things can apparently  f l y !
Thanks for posting though Trout!

I agree with Stig. The Like is a well engineered ride with proven power.
Then again I'm not one for doing mods on scooters.

As for the SYM 171s. I own one and its the fastest in its class but neither the HD or RV200 is close to as pretty as the Like. That matters.
