Hey guys fist post so be gentle with !!!

I have a 2001 yamaha zuma i think so my first question is how do i tell for sure what year scooter it is? On my rego it says that it is a 2001, it was sold from the dealer as a 2003 run out model? where do i find this on the bike?

Also i want to get more speed out of it (doesnt everybody) as i seem to only get about 48kms per hour ou of it. I weigh around 78kgs (180lbs). i want to go about 70-75kms per hour.

Every bike shop i go to tells me something different. One tells me that the australian models are not restricted by the cdi unit one tells me they are. One another on tells me to upgrade the clutch and variator and one tells me to just change the pipe.

Guys please help!!!!!!!!!!!

I have about 600 bucks australian to spend and still use this as my daily transport. My terain is generally all flat (no real big hills).


Thanks for any help.

Scotty

Late-model prebugs in the USA weren't restricted, but yours is. Your top speed stock should be about 65km. I'll PM a link. Almost any 70cc kit with a decent pipe will get you 80km. Add a vario and you'll out-accelerate cars. De-restrict first. Then get whatever parts are most easily available. I have no idea what you can get down there.

Welcome & G'Day Mate !

Altho I know nothing about Zuma upgrading, I do know this site and Provoscooter.com are filled with info.

Your job is to read,read,read....Look at the "how to" section on Provo, but bear in mind that it is not Zuma specific...

Ask lots of questions...they will be answered...
