Remove restrictions first, won't make much difference though.
After that the only answer is a big bore kit. Unless you are a total spaz you can fit this in an afternoon https://ebay.us/oqFLJg |

Don't bother trying to make it faster. - it's simply not worth it Remember it's not just the power either, the transmission needs to be able to deal with it and the brakes need to be able to haul you down from a high speed. That's assuming straight lines; introduce corners and the increased speeds (even just slightly increased) would probably test the capability of the suspension too.
It's far easier to simply buy something faster with all of these requirements designed in already. |
If the Znen is anything like the other Chinese horrors I have seen, e.g. Baotian, then the 125 versions use the same brakes and suspension as the 50cc jobs. Even if he puts an 80cc kit on, it will only be going from probably 4 to 6BHP so it'll be nothing worth losing sleep over.
OP - these Chinese 4-stroke peds are usually only restricted by their abject lack of power, but if it has been nobbled it'll most likely have a washer tack welded into the neck of the exhaust or a ring in the variator that stops it from opening fully. Have a read of this:
https://www.tuningmatters.com/how-tos/beginners-guides/derestrict-50cc-scooter/
I would go the route of throwing a cheap top end kit on as suggested earlier... it might run just fine with the stock carb, but be prepared to do some re-jetting if it doesn't. |
I was planning on swapping out the transmission, exhaust, and air filter and maybe changing the jets aswell, so I can get the best performance out of the scooter. At first I didn't want to put a big bore kit on it, because I thought it meant taking out the engine and changing out the crankshaft. I don't know a lot about scooters, because I am more used to older mopeds and motorcycles. |

I have no idea what the second hand market is like in Latvia but over here no one wants modified stuff. Especially learners parents.
I would say don't do anything you can't reverse when you come to trade it/sell it when getting you big boys bike or you will be left with a pile of pretty valueless metal. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |
