That overrange is a good piece. And pigs got a couple of fast bikes so I'd take his advice on it haha. Alright, thanks but the same question I asked him do I need the variator and clutch upgrade?

I don't really know anything about the MBK Mach G, but from a quick search it looks like a horizontal Minarelli engine, same as the Jog. The MBK I looked at was liquid cooled, not sure what newer Jogs are like. At any rate, pretty much any scoot with a horizontal Minarelli has a lot of potential. The scoots with Piaggio 2T engines are good platforms too, also with lots of go-fast parts available. . Alright thanks, So I guess I'm on the right track.

Cast sport kits last a while with little problems. I had a polini cast i used as a commuter. I would hold the trottle wide open for like 10 minutes haha. Ran good. I think an aluminum bore that's tuned right (maybe slightly rich for longevity) should last a long time if it's treated right, but i bet it's hard to baby a motor that only makes power between 10k-13.5k rpm. I have a race pipe and racing clutch springs on my zuma and parking lot riding is a little difficult haha. On-n-off power. Can I get an aluminum kit that's reliable? Ow is it only cast?

I am planning on buying a scooter and I was the fastest, most powerful, and agile scooter. Any recommendations on one? I was planning on a Yamaha jog or MBK Mach G

Just wondering, why wouldn't it be good for commuting? You can get there fast, but you can tear up parts faster too. All of that extra power and RPM is hard on stuff and requires more maintenance. For those of us without unlimited budgets, there's also a lot more money involved in the high end stuff. I was looking into a little more race-oriented build for myself just recently and I was trying to find someone that beat on a race engine for real street use... lots of miles, regular use, not babied, etc... and I can't seem to find it. I'm sure you can use them for that, but maintenance time/cost will be elevated. We did have 1 member that built a 94cc Polini Big Evo to ride to work, but his story was full of hurdles and didn't last that long. From what he showed us, he went really easy on it most of the time and barely wanted to hold it open long enough to check speed. At that point, I have to think why bother with all of the finicky race parts when you're only using the same amount of power that a sport kit has most of the time. Ah that's a shame... Well what is durable yet fast at the same time?

it's gonna be used for commuting, general dumb stuff, and such. My question is, do we really think the 70cc 2FAST setup is a great commuter? I don't have experience with the high rev, high end, stuff... but I've always figured it was intended more for racing and play than heading to work or the store. Just chiming in to make sure no one missed this. These fellas use kits like that so they can tell you. I suppose I'm more conservative and tend to think of sport types as the reliable workhorse that can be beat on regularly and still last if tuned and maintained properly. You don't get monster power, but lower RPM and output mean less stress and makes them easier to tune. Just wondering, why wouldn't it be good for commuting?

Check out the For Sale section since there is a motor there that you just might like and is already built. Just sayin. EDIT: Just noticed that you are in Finland, which would be pretty expensive shipping. Yeah unfortunately but I want to get my hands dirty and do it all myself.

I voted yes. If you get a Minarelli, there are as many options or more for going fast as any scooter out there. If by "I don't really have a budget" you mean the sky is the limit, and you don't want to modify parts at all, get a shop to build you a high end racing machine. Pay the bill, ride it around the block or track, and have a blast for just thousands of dollars. If you meant that your budget is low, that's a whole different story. My number one advice there without knowing any more details is : Don't buy the cheapest parts you can find to save money now. You can find good quality parts at reasonable prices that are actually a much better value in the long run. Also, intended use is good to know. You can make gobs of power with race parts, but IMO it wouldn't be a wise choice if you're just looking to go back and forth to work or the store or take long rides for leisure. Alright thanks, yeah I meant as if I don't have a budget, but I'd like to do all the stuff myself, hence the plug and play. Also well it's gonna be used for commuting, general dumb stuff, and such.

I think neither is the answer. You want suggestions on something that can add as much power as possible but are on a limited budget, want something that just bolts on and aren't willing to do some milling or porting? I don't think you will get far trying to meet all of those requirements. "You gotta pay to play" even with little 50cc scooters. sorry I see how that could be misinterpreted, I meant as I don't really have a budget so it can pretty much cost as much as a bus, just wanted to know what options are out there.

You don’t want to do any milling, but are you willing to swap the crankshaft out? Yeah as long as It's plug and play, don't have access to a mill or anything.

I am planning to buy a jog or Mach G so what upgrades should I get that make it as powerful as possible? I don't need anything that don't make noticable improvements like a new belt. Also everything needs to be plug and play, so no milling. Also I don't really have a budget (sky's the limi). Plus I live in Finland.
