New rider from South Carolina USA

Disabled retired old vet (USAF 1984-1987) just purchased a 2017 Tao Tao Powermax VIP 150cc 157QMJ. Getting her broke in and enjoying the ride. I will be trying to upgrade her to 70 mph top speed (So it can run 60 mph with out killing the little GY6). I am not into going fast just going and fast enough not to be a rolling road block lol. 5'9" 160-165 lbs 32" inseam so the scoot fits real good for me. I have made a few runs and changed the oil/ gear oil around 20 miles. Hit and release the throttle a few times up to 8'500 rpm at 58 mph.
I am just enjoying the ride right now. I live between small towns with low population and wide open roads. That is why i need that top speed to stay ahead of most runs to the next town 50-55 mph. 8 miles in either direction.

Chime in give pointers and have fun.
