hi folks
i am thinking of fitting a 70cc kit.can anyone who has fitted one tell me how hard it is?i am no mechanic but i have fitted a leovince exhaust and a new carb and got my wee et2 running nicely does about 45 on the flat.
the main reason i want the kit is a wee bit more topend like 5mph at least and be able to go up hills a bit better.also i would like to know how awkward it is to do it through the spark plug cover.
and also you guys who have fitted them do you think it was worth the effort?
cheers neil

I put the Malossi kit on mine - it wasn't too hard. The kit comes with instructions that are pretty straightforward. With upjetted carb. opened up intake, Leo Vince pipe and Malossi kit, my bike went a GPS verified 46 mph and got there pretty quick.

thanks for that adam that sounds ok i am 45 indicated so the speedo is about 5mph out so sounds like i would gain 5-6 mph great.
how about hills does it sustain speed better uphill?

Its fairly easy to fit the kit...and will give you a little more "grunt" uphills etc

Mine was a Malossi 2 ring iron kit, and I fitted it through the spark plug cover hole.
