Hi there! I was hoping to get my Baotian to travel just slightly faster than your average glacier, and I heard that a 'free air flow filter' might just add ten odd miles an hour to it. Does anyone know where I can buy one online? Thanks! Pikadam2000 P.S. Oh, extra brownie points if you know where it goes on my bike  |

I have two that I bought from ebay. tested both, and came to conclusion that they do no good on there own, you need to get a bigger 'main jet' for the fuel in the carb.
In fact, on there own, they make the bike run about 10-15 mph slower!!!
The air filters are easy to fit, they just bolt on the back of the carb.
They are available on ebay, just search for 'Scooter air filter'. You will need one with size 35mm one, expect to pay around £10-£15

Hang on, so... I shouldn't get a free air flow filter on its own? Where can I get a 'main jet' thingie, then?  Oh, and if I do get both, does it guarantee that my bike will go faster, 'cause I don't really want to spend £10 - £15 to make it slower... |

Its not worth finding and buying new main jet and free flow filter. Derestrict it and get some new rollers, thats about all you can do to get your bike to go faster  |

Ah! 'Rollers'- the plot thickens. Righto- scratch the jet thingamy and the free air flow filter- what are, and where can I get 'rollers'?  |

Okey dokey- I haven't been able to find anything useful on this site other than how good they are, partially owing to the fact that I'm a complete cretin when it comes to finding things. #stickpoke#
Does anyone know where exactly I can buy, or find, rollers? I am trying to find them too, but help from someone of a slightly larger I.Q. than your garden variety eggplant might hasten my search somewhat.

Oh, bugger- I think I worded that wrong. I meant to imply that I'm the one with the eggplant I.Q.
Thanks for all your help, guys... #thumbs_up#

WRONG!
There are plenty of things that you can do to make the thing go faster. Some things makes more different than others.
One thing you can do is to get a bigger main jet. If you get a slightly bigger main jet, you need more air.
Getting more air can be done with a free air flow filter, or even better just remove the air restrictor in the airbox.
With a bigger main jet you will get some more speed especially at high RPM.
Changing the rollers gives more speed but it is not the same kind of speed.

Dude!!  I am aware of the performance gains of getting a bigger main jet! Hey if there were new bigger main jets for sale then i would buy one myself! But its nearly impossible to find new jets for these bikes! So its easier in my opinion just to get the rollers done. |
