Jailing RCM50
This is a standard 50 cc engine with an automatic CVT and a no-limit CDI.
After correcting for a speedometer error (I swear they use the same parts as for the higher powered/larger wheeled scooters*), I topped out at about 55 MPH down hill, averaging about 40 - 45 MPH for a trip with one rider, about 35 MPH average for two riders.
*This scooter has the 10" rims. The speedometer would be correct if the wheel was about 2 3/4" larger diameter... the size they put on 150 cc and larger.

- 10-30-2009 #5Naw. Out here in the West Texas Desert it is hours of driving to get anywhere. Hence the 80 MPH speed Limit on the freeways and 70 MPH on 2 Lane roads. I was just posting the top speed I had my bikes up to. I usually cruise between 70 MPH and 80 MPH. I have road with the Hells Angels out of Phoenix, AZ, (Cave Creek), as a TagaLong and the Bandidos in Texas and they cruise at 100MPH on road trips. Been riding scooters since the 1970's. Aint my first rodeo. Takes all kinds to run Linux I guess.Are you a F1 fan ?Linux Registered User # 475019

A good spark plug and the no-limit CDI make a real difference (a stock CDI would limit me to about your speeds). It also hits the gas milage though.. Stock is over 100 mpg (42 Km/L), WOT w/ NLCDI is 80 MPG (34 Km/L).55 MPH( ~ 90KMPH) , 40MPH (~ 65KPH) D-cat , your speed is obviously higher than mine.
Edit:
of if you prefer L/100Km:
Stock = 2.35
NLCDI= 2.94Last edited by D-cat; 10-30-2009 at 05:13 AM.
