The 4t army continues to grow however, and particularly in regards to the QMB139 50cc engine.
dexameth is a great resource for this engine. He's tireless when it comes to testing parts on his QMB bike.

I may crazy but maybe more older scooter performance? its getting harder every day to find info or a good variety of parts for the Hondas and yamahas. early aeros and such variant with AB07 engines are even further neglected step children than spree owners. I bet theres a lot collecting dust for lack of performance parts. leave owners frankenstiening parts meant for other molels and most average owners are more hobbiests with minimal tech experience that like the simple bolt on path. which all 4t dio and jog all have. not everyone wants to buy a scooter just to buy a new engine and swap them just to get a platform they can modify. that leaves the rare crazy gear heads in a small group searching specs and measurements to hopefully find something to modify to modify our projects further. thers more than just ab07 theres expresses razz hobbit urban expresses ect that still have a following looking for parts too. af05e builds are getting fewer and fewer and theres millions of those still lying around.
I like your sight because you give measurements so we can compare notes before ordering so we know were on the right track. thank you for your continued support of a fun hobby and a cheap commuter.
Thank you for your support!
No it's not crazy to recognize the need for parts for the older Japanese bikes. I sold my personal Aero 80 for much the same reason; I hit a wall and could not get any more out of it without more modification than I was willing to do. We're working on continued support for some of the older bikes, with a focus on AF05. We've got a selection of BBKs up on the site now.
Old Yamaha though... no dice. I can't even find the parts to reverse engineer them, and honestly we don't see enough demand to make a production run unfortunately. It's too bad because the 80's Yamaha bikes are super neat.
