I'm not a fan of the leg room, but there is a definite difference in quality of the Zuma vs our Chinese stuff from what work I've done to them.

As you can guess I'm a Zuma fan but they do lack leg room not bad but it's hard to stretch out on them compared to my Eton. They are a little heavier than my Eton. I would love to have a second one. Compared to my 2002 Eton the build quality is better on the zuma. I think the zuma handles better and the stock forks are better. The 08 and newer have a decent gear ratio and straight groove td and the tranny is very good a holding rpm. the seat hump sucks. The 05 and older need to be re geared to be usable in my opinion. Was it worth the extra $500 it cost over an Eton? 08 and up maybe 05 and down I doubt it. If I could go back in time I would have split the difference and gotten a yamaha c3. Dad's c3 was 250 Cheeper, faster out of the box, only slightly slower than my modded Zuma and gets 120mpg all the time. Has tons of room and handles better than my Zuma, feels lighter and the seat is much better along with the mirrors. Motor is flawless.

The SP3 is a good pipe if you want the standard look, once you remove the restrictor  |

Great deal jmkjr!! Glad to see you up and building again! Hows the FI Zuma these days? Good choice on the SP3 IMO as well! I have run one for 3 years now i think? After about 5,000miles they get a bit louder though. But this isnt bad as they are very quite half pipes with much better flow than stock. Power is great when match with a mild sport cylinder (top perf is perf  ) from off idle to 9,000 or so. Ive smoked many a "built" scooter around here with my SP3 on my sleeper Kymco. Its all about the complete set-up and jmk knows this. I expect an interesting build here. With good results! BTW, I still have allot from my 05 if you need anything man?.. |

They have 2 headlights but one is low and one is high. We rewire them so we have 2 low and 2 high. Looks better and gives us better night vision.
