I have not posted in two years, specifically because the machine has not experienced an issue.. It’s been three years since I fouled a spark plug. There is no more tuning needed. It’s a starts on the first kick at 50F without choke machine.
As an experienced motorcyclist, I still have no desire to go back to riding street motorcycles. It would take a street legal, two stroke, 125cc+, street super-moto, to match the thrill factor of the 2T ‘scooter’.

CONCLUSION
When my bike was a completely stock 50cc with the ‘weed eater’; sounding exhaust, there were a few instances where an onlooker would point and laugh. From their perspective, they are observing a ’25 MPH scooter’, because the machine has to rev to 7000 RPM to keep moving at low speed.
After tuning this machine’s engine, CVT, gearing and sound, all of the laughing has stopped. Now all I hear is, ‘Do A Wheelie!’, ‘What Size Is That Thing?’ and ‘Do You Want To Sell It?’
