instant 4mph without spending any extra money.
wait till your rear tyre wears out, then buy a 140/70/12 rear.
beware though, it'll zap your top end if you like the pies. 
its alright for me coz i only weigh 11 stone.
another one is the short flyscreen, looks gay, but it'll add loads to your top end without tampering with the engine.

If you don't mind please show us your pics of 140/70/12 rear tire.

i just put a slightly higher profile tyre on.
accelleration is a little slower but sorted out easily with a polini variator.
sorry phil

cost, you need to look at hp gain to cost
some things make good hp some only a bit.
but as far as i can see firstis pipe.
PM 68
then
variator malossi ( my choice)
then
belt malossi kevlar
then
pm wiring tuning commander
then take it to a dyno or just see what one of the lads have done on here and copy roller weights and see from there where you are |

whatever you do, dont buy a malossi belt.
after 6k they snap, trust me it did it in the middle of london.....left me stranded. 
standard belts are better.
if your gonna get an aftermarket belt, get a polini. but none of them will last as long as a standard jobby.

| hear what you say but i have had malossi gear on all my scoots and never let me down always used these on my runners as it was the best over poloni. i agree with what you say about standard over tuned belt. lasting longer but kevlar is just a bit bettter i feel |
