Improve performance?

[Ptur5054]

I have a Suzuki AN125. I like it but would like to get more power out of it, especially going up hills where the speed drops off quite dramatically. From 95km/hr to 60. Any ideas?

NOS.
Eat fewer pies.
A turbocharger.
A supercharger.
A turbocharger, NOS AND a supercharger.
More air in the tyres.
A JATO rocket strapped to the back.
Helium in the tyres.
A GSXR1000RR strapped to the back.
A Morris Minor strapped to the back.
Tie it between two bicycles, with some massive-thighed rugby players on P frantically pedalling.
Mind altering droooogz (so you think you're going faster, or at least enjoy the trip more).


That's it.
(Haven't run out of broooliunt ideas yet - just bored).

Well it looks like there's a PM Tuning Variator (https://www.pmtuning.co.uk/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PT&Product_Code=04-PO241_620&Category_Code=00217125AN) Upgrade available.

It might be that you could replace the barrel and piston and take it up to 150cc too (extrapolating from the fact that the above link mentions 125/150 cc Epicuro), or maybe try the wreckers and swap the whole motor for a 150 although than can lead to problems with electricals...

Just buy a bigger one. As it is, it'll last for ever if you look after it.

Once you start the slippery slope of making it go a bit faster, there's no going back..

I can help you here if need be.

its tricky with 4 stroke scooters, a they arn't generally restricted at all,
you could put on a free'r flowing exhaust and possibly upjet the carb a little,
maybe even increase the size of the intake from the air filter,
but i doubt you'd gain more than a hp or 2,
changing the variator rollers may help with maintining the speed at the hills at a loss of accelleration,

i'd say your best bet for real power would be a new barrell and piston,
or a 1mm rebore will bring it upto about 130cc, with the right fuelling you could get a bit more out of it,

basically you are stuck with what you have, unless you want to spend time or money or both on it

[Ptur5054]

Thanks for your replies. It looks like I am stuck with what I've got but not to worry I like the bike very much.

[craisin]

you could most likely buy a new carb with an accelerator pump to get better throttle response :wari:Riding habits can rob horsepower and to go up a hill fast you need to go downhill even faster

Put a honda sticker on it! LOL.

Seriously,like some of the others said,DON'T spend money on it,buy a bigger one.
