The Iridium plug is CR7EIX but it won't give you any great leap forward in power - just improved starting, fuel economy, and better rideability. Getting a few...
... 150cc would just barely make it freeway-legal, at least in CA. I'd hate to see the CARnage from that, or have to insure it either. 180cc sounds to me...

Yamaha motors have plenty of larger models with larger engines or in their mfg supply chain line available and adaptable powerplants that can be easily modify...
If the Honda Metro comes out with a 150cc scooter; Yamaha may counteract with a 175cc Vino. Nourishing thoughts on scooters to think about. Won't that be...
FV, It's a human condition that "war" (horespower or otherwise) tends to encourage development... Apparently the 2007 Buddy 125 now has a larger headlight, a...
CS, Not to ruffle any feathers - I say that is a good law (incomparison to California's law for motor driven cycles), better to keep an under capacity scooters...

I sanely agree with Susan on the under-capacity scooterist on the open freeways. As I have advocated in prior postings - designated lanes on the road way...
I'm planning a move to Gainesville (Florida) later this year and would like a bit of information about scooter riding, etc... As I remember, there are a few...
I was told no more than 20,000 miles. I'm at 1100 so far and it's running like a cheetah. I can't believe it's going to go down in just 18000 miles....
I can only speak for my state, but insurance here is 75 bucks a year. Cars don't seem to hassle me, and most motorcycleists wave to me. After all, we're all on...
I've every reason to believe the Vino 125 engine will run much longer than 20K miles. My wrecked 2004 has 13K+ miles and the motor runs like it did just after...
