scoot ran faster in the winter

I'm going to go with the "Crap mechanical speedometer reads higher when it's cold, bike isn't actually going any faster" line of thought here.

On aircraft (radial engines) , we used to use an ADI mixture (anti detonate injection) It was an alcohol injection that was used on full power on take-off to cool the cylinders under a heavy load. This was on refuelers that might have a full load of refueling fuel (think JP-4) Perhaps you're getting the same effect!
