My scooter I have just bought bogs down when opening the throttle and when it does open out its only hitting 6000rmp max is this normal?
Any help would be great
Thanks

thanks for that Pete I will have a chat with them. I have noticed now its not bad when cold but as soon as I go for about 0.5mile its loosing power and going back to 6000rpm. Do you think this is still the variator?
Thanks for your help
Andy

Your problem is the variator rollers they are now to heavy for your exhaust. Speak to PM Tuning and they will sort you out. To sum up your ped is in top gear ratio and the revs are now to low to pick up this is because the expansion pipe on your exhaust has changed the engine power band. Lower the variator weight and you will have a new bike.

Hi Adam
It had a race exhaust fitted before I bought it. The air filter is fine and clean and no holes drilled in the box. The make of the exhaust is a hand made zx if thats any help to you?
