People 50 / Just bought a Kymco people 50 2t advice on derestricting
« on: November 07, 2018, 04:36:50 PM »
First let me start with, I already own a Kymco People 150 and I have my motorcycle license.   I liked the 150 so much that I kept searching for a 50 2t and finally found one with only 600 miles on it.    I have done enough reading on how to derestrict and I understand that if I do it,  to be legal I would need to change from a moped license to a motorcycle license.
 
I took a look at the variator boss and the previous owner must have had it changed as there is no "shoulder on it"   
I took off the exhaust and it still has the washer restriction in there.  I am 190 lbs and currently get about 35 mph on GPS on flat ground.    If I were to do the following how much top speed might I be able to add? 

1. Remove the restriction on the exhaust
2. Purchase and install an unrestricted CDI
3. Rejet the carb

Just trying to decide if it is worth it.   I am planning to use the people 50 exclusively on city streets where the traffic moves at around 35-40 mph and if I could give he a little help keeping up I wouldn't mind it.

People 150 / Glad to be here, new People 150 owner.

I am sort of new to scooter riding, I have owned a Honda Elite 110 for the past year.  I enjoyed it but some of the roads near my house are 45 MPH and the Honda barely keeps up.     I decided to upgrade to a 150 just to get near 60MPH.  I won't need to use it often but will be more comfortable with a little headroom.   
I decided on a People 150 but was disappointed to find that they stopped importing them in 2012.   Well lucky me I found a 2012 new, still in the crate.   I have to drive a ways to get it but that is fine.   

My question is, are there any tips/tricks that I need to know of during its break in that will lead to a longer life.   

Thanks
Jim
