Great info! Thanks a million!!!
Regardless of how accurate the before data is, a difference of more than 2 seconds in 0-60 times is nothing to be sneezed at. It would be interesting to find out what you give up in fuel mileage for the faster accelleration.Jay said:Before (stock):
1/4 mile - 17.03 sec @ 69 mph [110 km/h]
0-60 mph - 9.74 sec
After (modified):
1/4 mile - 16.01 sec @ 79 mph [126 km/h]
0-60 mph - 7.37 sec
I would be cautious about taking the "before" data as indicting absolute results, since the accuracy of the measurement device is unknown. The test results are best viewed as showing relative differences between a stock and a modified Maj.

It's not available online. You can order a copy through the Scoot! Magazine website.apb said:Would someone post the Scoot! article?
Thanks for the info Bob.Burger Bob said:What Jay ommitted to mention in his first post regarding the Scoot! magazine's article on swapping rollers was that the authors of the article eventually settled on a combination of 10 gram and 13 gram rollers, to improve speed accross the board. I followed this advice, but found that the gearing was too low for my liking. I felt as though I was riding a dirt bike! This might be great if the scoot is only used around town, but most of my riding is on the open road and the higher revs up at highway speeds was unacceptable to me, so I switched to a combo of 15 and 13 gram rollers and this, along with a Leo Vince exhaust has really made a marked improvement to what I thought was a pretty sluggish stock setup. I really enjoy my Majesty now!
Cheers,
