whats the difference between a metro and a metro 2??
because i have a friend with a honda metro 2 and ive been trying to figure out how to derestrict it so far ive gotten the variator washer out adjusted the slider in the carb checked for the green gasket behind the manifold and the was none could not locate a cdi to derestrict it from there, it looks like it all goes into a computer looking unit.
i was wondering if there was a difference and if there was any other type of restrictor i might have missed thanx for your help

According to wikipedia...

"Until 2006, Honda offered a restricted version of the Metropolitan in the United States, called the Metropolitan II, model code CH50P. It was limited to a maximum speed of 25 mph (40 km/h). This permits classification as a moped in those states allowing use by unlicensed or younger riders."


Go to the bottom of this page and there's some info about what to mod on a Met II...
