As such you need to have an assortment of them, and tune it to the preferences you desire. You should also tune the clutch variator at the same time, or you will end up doing it all over again when you tune the clutch variator.

Before you do that, according to what you stated above something is not right with your setup. a good running 63cc can achieve those road speeds and has the same midrange power plateau.
*Not sure what your last Sentence meant? I have the 82cc Hoca BBK ("CALLED" 100cc BBK). What are you referring to, when u say, " you can achieve those road speeds and has the same midrange power plateau."?*

Scooter has PLENTY of power for me at the low end... I'm willing to sacrifice low end, just to get to about 48-50 mph! I'm pretty sure it's all in the CVT Tuning now! I was just wondering what everyone recommended for those types of top speeds... from contra spring, to clutch springs to what weight rollers?

Well, I found 2-3 things that were/are posssibly holding me back! Like I said, bike runs great up to about 30 mph and then takes a while to get to full speed (43-44ish). Here are the culprits:

A. Front rim is just SLIGHTLY bent and the brake caliper was grabbing the rotor a little. I pulled everything off, bled the system and lightly sanded the brake pads down some. This seems to have helped A LOT, as far as getting up that "momentum".

B. Tires were semi flat, I'm 180-90lbs and it was really making this motor struggle!!

C. Belt/Rollers/(other CVT stuff). I believe my belt is starting to wear out, as it will, with the BBK. Usually equals lower top speed and acceleration, if I'm not mistaken. I also ordered a set of 6-7 Gram Rollers, because I think THAT IS another problem with my top end. 5G Rollers, on a STOCK CVT and a BBK?! I believe their getting me up to the 43ish MPH and then just can't move any further (or it takes a helluva longer time!). Hoping 6G Rollers will be right around my "sweet spot".

Now, that said... I did a plug chop and the plug looks AMAZING! I did it on all "3 Stages", 3 new plugs. First time it was at idle for about 10 mins, plug looked perfect. Then I did a "half throttle" ride for about 10 mins, again, plug looked great. And last but def not least, I went out and dogged the mess out of her, plug looked absolutely PERFECT (and yes, I killed the motor while still riding on the middle and up top "jetting") So, the A/F Ratio is dead on, IMO!
