Adjust your valves!

Just because nothing performance wise has not changed does not mean to ignore them. As you ride the scoot on a regular basis you will not notice the slow changes in performance. I rode with another Buddy 125 (when I still had my Buddy 125) and kept leaving him for dead. To him it seemed normal, to me it was weak in power. So, we checked the valves. Sure enough, the exhaust was silly tight and the intake was out of spec. Everyone on the Spyder forum told me to not bother with the valves at 16,000 miles but I checked them anyways. They were fine, just took FOREVER to get to them! So I see your point with the Ice Bear trikes.
