    Ok test are in. Wish I had videoed the runs.*
    1st change on rollers- 3x6g + 3x8g rollers total gave me 7g set...10,000 rpm max and saw 60 mph GPS.
    2nd change on rollers- 3x9g + 3x11g rollers total gave me 10g set...8,000 rpm max and saw 58-59 mph GPS.
    3rd change on rollers- 3x8g + 3x10g rollers total gave me 9g set.....9,000 rpm max and saw 58-59 mph GPS.
    Very windy day here so speeds are off a lot. Gust upwards of 10-15 mph I think.
    No gear change yet just trying the roller weight tune kit to figure what rollers to order. Hoca variator came with 12g set x6 but did not try them yet. I need a gram scale lol The Hoca gears are setting in the bottom of the tool box and have not been looked at yet. Did SSP-G buy Hoca out or the other way around? SSP-G is a German based company so quality should be good...I hope. The stock variator rollers had some bad ..and I mean bad flat spots all around them.

    Wait! Scoot hits 60 mph in any setup and that's it. Is there some sort of limiter that you don't know about?

    IMO, 60 is more than decent top speed for scoot fitted with 157QMJ engine.

    lol I am just try to find the sweet spot for the scoot on these wide open roads. I use the GPS (Global Pos Sat) to check my speed (That's the gauge on the fairing) The Chinese puck speedometer is way off. If I am running 60 mph (GPS) the Chinese puck speedometer is showing 70+ mph and I know that 70+ was not right lol. I have also been told the motor is not broke in yet but I have to get close to what I need here to be safe. I have hit 65 mph (GPS) before but today she was windy ..real bad. Gust up to 10-15 mph.

    Stock speedo shows subjective assessment of speed, something like subjective assessments of temperature they mention in weather forecast.

    First good day to ride for me. She purrs like a kitten. Running 55-60 mph (GPS) with little wind it holds 8,000-8,500 rpm steady. Hoca variator and 9g Hoca rollers 18x14. I noticed when I run down the speed and throttle back up .. sometimes it crackles and takes off. Is the rollers to light or is the exhaust to open? All I know is she is smooth fun right now. Monday I may go get a 2006 Honda Reflex with 4,000 miles on her for $1,250-1,500 it depends if they get it running. Car lot has it and forgot about it. Kelly Bluebook says trade in is still $2,200 in good shape. Now that my friends is a sweet deal if I can fix the carb/clean the fuel tank/get a battery.

    It look that scoot pulls smoothly from the low revs. That's nice.

    Thanks. That's my plan to run the motor just right and make it last. I have new parts coming in to pick up and free up the motor a little. She is a blast to ride. People look at me while riding and I grin and ride on past. Heck I was going fast enough on 4th of July I passed a car/suv running 60 mph lol I know they could not figure that one out. lol

    Interestingly it sounds a bit like two stroke at high revs, also on the "highway" it sounded like it would soon explode or takeoff like an airplane But good job :)
