I am looking to try and get more speed out of my 1980 Newport II with the ZA50, I get about 30 if I am on a flat/kinda downward hill and want to get it to 40-45 as cheap as possible, but willing to buy nice parts when necessary. My goal is to try and keep it looking as original as possible because I love the look. What are the best upgrades I should do to try and keep the look close to the same, but get some higher speeds?? Thank You!
Search the forums this gets asked and answered once a week.
In order of easy / cheap / slowest to fastest
1. Replace your shift pucks (do this anyway) and flip second.
2. Pipe and upjet
3. New 50cc top end and upjet
“Cheep job, fast job or good job! Pick one!”
You could get a few more mph for cheap but if you want to hit that 40-45mph mark with complete reliability and Safety It’s gonna take time and money,
You have basically have to blueprint Your engine/kit/ignition/carb/exhaust as well as your brakes, suspension and tires
