I can't seem to get any more top end speed out of my Boatian, i have snipped the pink wire,adjusted the pin and removed the brass screw from the carb,my acceleration is a lot better but i just can't seem to get it to go any faster than 32mph on the flat. Any ideas please.

Welcome aboard fruitman. How old is your bike? If you've already de-restricted it how about changing the air filter? I had a look at mine yesterday and it's as clean as a whistle after a couple of months but if your bike is racking up some miles it could be a cause of sluggishness. Try cleaning it or buy a universal air filter off eBay, they claim to increase power when compared to a standard air filter. I'd take that comment with a pinch of salt but you never know. Failing that lose some weight!! ;D I weigh 15 stone so I can't take the mickey. Next time you go out on your scooter try leaning back, I'm sure mine goes faster when I lean back. If all of that fails then it could just be you live in a hilly area, I live in Norfolk which is pretty flat and even my scooter can struggle to get over 20mph on a slight hill so you should think yourself lucky you're getting over 30mph.

Does derestricting a scooter make the acceleration quicker, I thought it just gave you a higher top speed?

I've had my bike about 3 months, bought from new, i will check the air filter, you never know it could be dirty, but i've only covered 1000km,ta.

Yes Scooterboy, it made a great difference in my acceleration speed, when i first got my scoot it was embarrassingly slow from the off.

Dear Fruitman re getting more speed from your Bot i found just snipping pink wire worked best - ie dont bother altering needle setting also instead of holding throttle wide open just easing back slightly seems to improve topspeed performance hope this helps johnnyR (theduck)
