- today we show you some EASY 50cc GY6 mods that change performance.
These mods are all very simple to do and can be done with basic tools. We go over a better carburetor, a performance variator and changing variator weights all to change the performance of your scooter. unfortunately the weights we used in todays video were too light and cause our scooter to go much slower. But that's what it takes to learn.

Thanks for watching!
Man, y'all make tuning these scooters look so easy. But as soon as I even much as touch my kick start assembly, everything starts breaking!😆
it felt like that for a while for us! lol after you take it apart a bunch it gets easier. Just keep working on it, it will get better🤟
I appreciate all it Europe point of views in your knowledge you still got a lot to learn Steve from Annapolis Maryland keep up the good work I've been doing it for quite a few years and I just was curious and watching your show
17x49 gear set. The lighter 4 gram sliding weights will help keep the rpm’s up high. The longer gearing does not affect acceleration. You will have a longer range of speed for the variable transmission to work through. This will help combat the loss of top speed from using a lighter weight slider.
I use rollers rather than sliders. if you run heavier rollers to get more top speed, you can put stiffer clutch springs so you can build some more revs before the clutch grabs. that will give better take-off. Light rollers work well, but may not have enough mass to hit top speed. an NCY secondary slider pulley may help too, I installed one, works great.
Definitely noticed the top speed wasn't there. We haven't messed with the clutch springs so that's something we will have to do next. We have some tuning/learning to do yet
I would be interested to see some discussion on an improved final drive ratio gearset.
Stock 49 CD is not so great in an area that has many hills. It really kinda sucks in stock configuration!
Hi, just a little tip, if u want to get more of stock gy6, get a performance cdi, there is a lot of cheap ones that work, i had mine upgraded and it increased my top speed. Basically the performance cdi can make your gy6 rev higher. Approximately 10% higher than normal
They say. They are fraud race c.d.I.. Orange or blue. Fixed timing at 30 deg b td c. Possible hard to start ?
I added the performance parts and it made it slower
@@ashjason1793thats my problem too, i put performance everything in it and now it only goes 25😭
@@reallawnboy5504tune the carb
Might need a bigger jet/carb. Needs different fuel and air ratio now
Hey guys! Greetings from Finland! I just found your channel when I was looking for 50cc scooter tuning videos. I have a couple of old Chinese scooter scraps and my goal is to build one ridable 🛵. The fun and laughter is well reflected in your videos. Keep the playful attitude and professional mechanics! 😁👍
Thank you! We appreciate the kind words. Glad you enjoyed the video👍
Here is another Finnish person who is about to start China scooter build
Here is another finnish person, i have aprilia sr50 future 2015, 50cc. 2 strk. Any tutorials would be appreciated if someone finds actual good ones. I'm looking for upgrades that i can do in my garage without buying much extra parts (f.e, variator). I have found ONLY ONE good electric restriction guide, but i dont think it works, havent tried it yet. Have a good day.
@L.aE.cH. Empire always use 6rollers.they have 6 for a reason
Literally the video I needed thank you
Good to hear! Glad we could help
Also you can use a flat file or a sander and make the area the belt clutch surface meets more of a flat taper and polished , secound you can widen the area the rollers compress at the max to allow the primary to grab closer together at full throttle
Very easy but you need an impact to take the variator off or a special tool to lock it.
New to the 49s picked up an italica and noticed it bogged down very hard when full throttle at any rpm, took the top off and noticed it had one of them cone air filters. So I'm assuming the PO installed the upgraded carb. Cool but why did it bog down? Well being the mechanic the past few years I know a little something about vacuum And how it's important, as I looked over the stock airbox, it has a ton of vacuum hoses coming off of it. Well I decided to take that air filter off and hook up the airbox. It was like night and day. Instead of taking 2 miles to get to 30mph it took 200 ft. So incase anyone was having this issue.... thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
Performance CDIs are good for short burst drives, like drag racing.
They are not advisable for long trips where you tend to do full-throttle for longer period of times, because Performance CDIs have no limiter, you can burn it out driving at high rpm for long period of times
I'm fixing to experiment with some Briggs & Stratton piston and rings and a bore kit myself
Great video! Thanks.
Thank you!
Steve from Annapolis Maryland I totally agree with you keep it 50cc and get up a12 camshaft not the a9 that's a waste of money get the a12 that's not too much lift where you got to change the valve springs but it will make a big difference the camshaft CDI ignition is none of that parts are expensive you change all that and you will be good camshaft ignition check the carburetor again aftermarket pipe and you will be up to 50 mph I wish you live next door and I can help you
Good engine to mess with and learn how to improving performance. Been doing just that for over 10 years now and have taken a lot of what I've learned and stepped up to modifying a 150 engine. 7gm variator weights are generally what comes installed on gy6 50cc engines.
So should I get the DR . pulley 7gm , and I will see any difference in acceleration ?? for a tao tao 50 CC
@@ragadallas1982 how many grams are your variator weights? Going lighter will increase acceleration but lose top end and vise versa. You need to experiment with variator weights that will give you the performance you personally seek.
Dont u jus tell me o wizard
Based on the stock roller weight of 7 grams - try experimenting with 7g/8g combi roller weights OR 7g/9g combi.
With the 24mm D-type Carb, replace also the Cylinder Block with 57.4mm
24mm Carb + 57mm Block = Fun Scooter
If you change the carb.change the air filter and the exhaust pipe or get an expansion chamber if it's a 2 stroke.
I have a 100cc big bore kit race cam bigger valves performance clutch 6.5g rollers performance exhaust aftermarket carb forget jet sz racing cdi coil aftermarket cooling cover and I’m getting 55mph on flat ground close to 60 down hills and can do 30 -35 up hill depending how steep it is only other thing to do now is upgrade to a 150 and build it till then I’m happy with it
Mine doesn’t have the limited in the crankcase I have a 2022 Express 50 any help?
How many miles on your Tao 50 now? Any complaints. Reviews ? 10vs 12 inch wheels do they have the same gear ratio in the gear box?
Hi you seem smart
I have a old bike , can’t get goin , just tries to start but don’t , I have took cdi off and kinda butcherd
I live in a place with very steep hills and looking at your videos making a 50cc scooter be better and more usable really gave me the push I needed to do something about mine. When I was younger my uncle use to send me to get the piston(?) of his 50cc to a mechanic who turn it into 3-wheels standard cut and the scooters he had took off like freaking kawasakis. Of course, that was in the Dominican Republic so not sure whether something like that could be done where I live now
I got a 50cc scooter I'm putting the high performance cylinder head with oversized valves go with a a9 cam you already got the ignition system Steve from Annapolis Maryland
If i remember its 1+. So 6g sliders are equal to 5g weights. Honestly, a cam, head porting, 19mm slide carb would be super interesting just for shits and giggles 😂
I can only get my tao tao 50 to do 30mph, i put a new carb air filter i even changed weights in variator and added a new belt. How can i get this thing to go 40mph?
What app do you use for recording top speed or even current speed???
Im trying to mod up my tao tao! I want to know how to put a stereo system in my tao tao and what would be the best brand as well as tires.
is there no problem if i put a different carb on my scooter than those bulky carbs
The matter is 50cc or 150cc find out what the factory gram roller weight is and put three of them in there and three of the real light ones in there do a combination mix and you will get some RPM and still have top speed
I put a 100 cc big bore kit a ngk carb & 125 pipe & adjusted the pins on my card up a notch & I'm getting 55 easey
for the carb which mm should I pick
Can any help which carburetor i need to buy for sym mio 50cc 2011 pleasee need help. If anyone have link do share please
I for got I put the best CDI they make .put 2 12 volt heaters on it hell it works pretty good
Epic video !😅
thanks!
Did your scooter washer governor in it
Good vid
Get the gear up kit .. stage 6...... 7 gram weights youll see a great increase
my 50 will easily do 70mph with the stock 49cc top end. A good carb, exhaust and the lightest rollers you can find and a taller gear set for he final drive is all you need. My 2014 Tao Tao 50 starts to Death wobble rite at between 76-78mph going down hill. It will go faster but I don't have the nuts to try it.
I forget where i got my gear set but it was off of ebay. It increased the top end by atleast 12mph but it did slow down acceleration a bit especially on hills. They were listed as a Highway final drive gear set for a 139QMB. Shipped directly from China.
No 50cc is hitting 70 my guy... lol
@@bryanmiller5074 maybe 70 kmh! =50mps
My 3k mile, 4500km stock 2022 xpro maui hits 60 "40mph" and no matter the hill size it tops at 41mph, i weight 160 pounds
You probably mistaken kmh for mph on the speedometer
All ican say is "kriedler"
Does your moped has your remote start?
Can someone tell me what to buy or do to make my 50cc go faster?
What is best flyball
I also have a 50cc gy6 and i had 7 gram rollers in it and deleted the vario ring. Stock cdi only cvt Mods. It ran around 70kmh which i think is around 40-50 mph. 4 gram rollers are way to light so try using 6.5-7 gram
Can you do a valve timing video please?
Does this work on 150cc matador
just asking.. are there any after market horns to replace the roadrunner bep bep..
I'm sure you could find some. Train horn perhaps??
Is that a 4t or 2t machine
Roller weights dont change top speed. They only adjust the revs the bike runs at. The idea is to have a good variator and weights that run the bike at the revs where the bike produces the most power. Once the variator is maxed out its irrelevant what weights are in it. My guess is that the new belt you put in it isnt allowing the variator to max out because its slightly wider or shorter.
I just got a wolf brand rugby 50cc scooter im looking for a carburetor but not too sure if this would fit is it worth the risk?
Looks like it has a gy6 so yeah it should work. Do you know how to re jet your stock carb? If you do I'd suggest doing that instead. This is basically the exact same carburetor with a 75 jet and a pod filter. But if you arent sure how to re jet it then this isn't a bad deal for 30 bucks!
Was there a restrictor between that piece and the variator on that bike?
There might have been one but he took it out for sure
So should I run no air box or get after market one,sorry I’m stoned and don’t know much
🤣🤣 get a cone filter. Lose the stock air box. But if you do that you should also re jet the carb for the increase in air flow.
Just so u no this may get lost but ligter roolers if loosing top speed u should have done cluch springs
Why i see they make more mods for 50cc than 150cc.. i have a 150cc id like to make mods to
just bought one you from miami?
Oh no, that sucks to do that only to have to pull everything back off🤦
Hope it all worked out
Not too bad! It's all a learning experience
I D restricted mine with every way I could find. The muffler, CDI wire, air box holes to a UNI filter, rollers, belt upgrade. 240lbs and only 42 mph 😮
What exhaust mod tried?
Did you take the spacer out of the variator ?
Juts got a Tao Tao scooter this helps so much love the videos
Awesome to hear! Have fun with your new scooter🤘🤘
Nice
Very nice
i bought the same carburater and was wondering why it was such a pain to connect the airbox.
Change the gears in the gearbox a stock is a 52 tooth gear the middle one put in a 41 tooth then you’ll be able to do wheelies
Lmao, more infooo
Howww
do all chinese scootzers have the same engine and carb?? 4 stroke ofc
No, most of them do but there are 2 stroke options as well.
And advice on how to remove or unrestrict the cdi?
All we have done is buy a "performance" cdi on Amazon
EFI carburator s are better for year round use they automatically adjust to different weather changes.and a good lithium battery makes the charging system work better.specially in cold weather.where lead acid batteries freeze and loose power.And can destroy other components in the charging system,like starter recoil,electric start from not getting the proper charge.
I just did one of these for my 50cc, and my stock airbox had a couple lines running into the engine hose. I left the stock hose because I wasn't sure if I could leave them loose. The new carb only had one hose. Seems like a lot of stuff is tied into the stock airbox when I get down and look. Is there a schematic somewhere? I don't want to stall out anywhere.
Ok, so I pulled the stock airbox and dropped in the cone air filter. runs pretty well so far. The hoses - there is apparently some emissions cylinder thing that has to go. There is a hose coming from the front of the engine block which is apparently a vacuum hose, that went to the stock airbox. Do you just leave that loose? Seems like I'm at risk of particles entering the system. The water drain line on the bottom of the airbox doesn't matter so that's gone. It pulls and surges when accelerating which is slightly annoying. Same top speed (37) until I can get the variator restrictor off (waiting on impact wrench, stripped two 8's with hand tools. Just wondering about that block vacuum hose.
I think the rest just hang from what I remember. You should be fine. I will double check next time in the shop to double check. If anything changes I'll let you know
@@throttle_therapy I put a lot of work in over the last few days! The vacuum hose seems to not really matter to the operation of the new carb once the air box and eco stuff goes away. It rests in the chassis naturally and it's pretty thick so I'll probably just leave it. If I start noticing hoses visible from the outside I'll either tie them up or pull it off completely. I never really did Small engine stuff but it's not that difficult once you tear into it. It's super interesting how replacing one piece shakes out problems with the other pieces. Open carb with new jet needs better air so once you fix the better air the exhaust is the problem. I have one of those aftermarket exhaust on order so once it gets here I should be good to go. Not too shabby for under a hundred bucks for getting a new lease on life with one of these little 50cc Chinese scooters!
@@SteveShelby you got it🤘 nice work dude that's cool to hear you are enjoying the experience.
@@throttle_therapy I really enjoy your videos so many people have crazy long intros and they don't cut the Dead space and dialogue and don't speed up the videos on mundane stuff you seem to actually know how to do the work and the production which is super important for people sticking around! Got another side question I forgot about. I stripped out two 8 mil ratchets trying to get my gearbox cover off. Got a cheap wrench set and this cheap ass metal is starting to strip on the bolt. I have an impact wrench on order and my fear is I'm going to actually strip the flanges off these gearbox bolts. An adjustable wrench is too big to get in there. I've done WD-40 a couple times done a few taps I don't want to strip these things trying to get them out but I have not been able to pull the restrictor of my variator yet and it's really bugging me do you have any tips for pulling out these cheap aluminum 8 mil bolts?
My muffler fell off mid ride and now it sounds like a 2 stroke and is a little lighter lol
Where do I find other rims for my scooter?
Internet
Gear Ratio of 3 or higher is good for uphill/downhill drive
13x3 = 13/39 Gear Set
14x3 = 14/42 Gear Set
15x3 = 15/45 Gear Set
If you had to choose just one Mod, which Mod would be most efficient in making the bike faster overall?
1. Big bore kit. 2. Bigger jets and intake
3. Lose a ton of weight lol
@@throttle_therapy ...wow ok, I thought for certain you'd say Aftermarket Exhaust, but I know absolutely nothing about Bike Modifications. Thanks
@@tooakki that would help too. Anything to get more air and fuel in and more air out.
Win I was 230pond my tao tao 50 wood do 50mpr shuffle my beat Zuma's 50cc all day it was fast even broke speedometer it was stock brand new butt now i got a venom 18x my favorite looks good and i goingto make it fast
I'm going to put a video of my gator. It can dam near hit 60
Are the geared 50cc scooters faster than the 50cc automatic scooters?
No
No, in theory, they should be. The 50cc just doesn't have the power to make it worth it. Playing with the variator, roller weights, and clutch springs is the best bang for your buck.
If i get an hour or two i could easily make it go 70-75km/h And give me a Yazuni R exhaust or Gianelli Go exhaust it can go 80-85
Did your scooter have a governor washer in it
I dont remember there being one in this scooter when we purchased it. It may have been taken out by the previous owner
Best thing to do is get 82bbk with big head
Would you say the tao tao is reliable with mods?
Yeah actually! It is still running strong. With the mods comes tuning. That is where things can be tricky.
@@throttle_therapy thanks bro
My mods recipe, just sharing.

1k RPM Center Spring
1k RPM Clutch Spring
23/28 Big Valves Head
6.5 Lift A9 Camshaft
2.8 5-Turns Valve Springs
Placing airfilter close to rear wheel is a very bad idea
Will you have a bot from the police
So heaver weights be better you say?
Heavy weights = higher top speed but slower acceleration
Light weights = lower top speed but better acceleration
@@RealWorld125need a balance of both.. if Peak power is at 7000 rpms you need weights to hold it there
@@speedyme200 yeah exact;y what i said then yh 🤣🤣
5,5 gr
If u want to go fast just get a 2stroke
Agreed.
Yes I new were not going to like them iv been working on scooters for 33 years I had a old 78 scooter it would get 75 but you almost had to push it to take off
Make one mod at a time or you don't know which one worked or didn't work.
More noise? How is that an upgrade 😂😂😂
you weight 200 lbs. 4 gr weights are the way to go.
You could buy the main Jets variety of main Jets and idle Jets and change them in a couple minutes and use the same carburetor that's ridiculous to go out and not unless you bought a bigger millimeter carburetor is probably what you did it's ridiculous to buy another carburetor this changed a little Jets takes a couple minutes
The original carb was junk thats why we bought this one. It just had a different jet than the stock.
just unplug your restrictor wire
Try 24mm D-type Carb.
The fuel mixture is constant, the throttle action will only increase or decrease the air mixture.
Transplant a 150cc gy6
Hey I still haven't heard from you like I said if you get back to me here I will not hear it get back to me direct please I left you my number I'm not trying to make fun of you or put you down but why don't you get a phone holder that will go on the bike they have them that will charge as well as hold the phone
You never said what
Mindlessly assuming the public needs higher revs and higher wear. Not everybody gravitates toward an urban toy. The new air filter is pure sabotage.
Bruh u gonna blow that engine up if u put that shitty ass pod filter with the called performance exhaust ur engine runing lean and the weights don't do shit if u don't mess around with the springs in the back and why would u buy the same carb bro you could have bought some jets and be done
Change=make worse
HAAAAAAA Clown show .... he slowed down his fast scooter !! Dafuq.... get out a here.
First mistake you bought parts off Amazon.
Go to the local scooter store and buy a 30 mm carb
Unfortunately the local scooter store doesn't exist where I live
@@throttle_therapy oh I understand😉
That's way too big even the stock intake valve is not that big.. Plus you never get that carburetor in tune
On a 50 cc scooter they should always be around 30 at least in Florida that is
