The only bit I know about is the legal aspects.

If you bore it out to 60cc and you are 16 you'll be riding without a licence and without insurance - maximum penalty for that is probably a ban.

A lot of people still do it though, and the police will not know. Just if anything ever goes to court and it turns out you have bored it out, you'd be buggered.

on mine i just got a race pipe, it gives it that extra bit of go towards the end of the rev range, i too didnt want to risk it with a bore kit especially as i've only got 4 months to go until i can have a 125! Thumbs Up

Even the standard derbi's are fast without a can, they certainly are one of the best 50cc learner bikes for speed, a few of my mates had them round here and loved them, looks more powerful then they really are. It would probably be best to keep it a 50 for reliability / insurance etc..
Hope this helps Ollie

o sorry beforei forget , what aobut de-ristricting?
will a new pipe solve this? because my older freind cut his pipe in half and did something to it then welded it back together?

thanks

insurance costs me about £400 tpft, for derestriction check the derbi forum as there are many different restrictions on different bikes Karma

cutting the exhaust in half is removing the catalysor, this isnt nessecary as you wont feel much of a difference.
