Well, I guess after getting the A/F setting totally right the scooter did something amazing (even to my boss who happened to be outside to witness it). AsI live here on cape cod a lot of sand tends to build up at parking lot entrances as well as the fact that the small amount of snow we recently got is melting so: I go to leave work for lunch, pull up to the edge of the lot which was slightly damp and a fine layer of sand. Needless to say I almost ruined my shorts when I grabbed full throttle to beat an oncoming car yet the scooter sat there and put on a smoke show that even John Force might have smiled at!!! Well, it started off as just a spinning wheel but when I realized what was about to happen I just leaned back slightly and let it rip......Needless to say the car went by to a cloud of tire smoke and me with a [BLEEP] eating grin! It's wild what a few mods and a new carb will do for a 150!!!

That will make the tires wear flat even faster . I have playing in grass and gravel a few times . The other day it was raining and I spun the tire a lil bit when I started off on top of a painted crosswalk was fun

On my 50 the only way to do a burnout was to get it up on the center stand and WOT it leaning backwards

Yeah it's too bad, at $50 a tire one burnout like that just halved the life of that tire.

Well it's the crappy "stock" tire that came with the bike anyway and I plan on buying much better ones before spring really hits. You don't suppose I'd waste a good tire...... Anyway I'm looking into the Michelin tires with a better tread pattern and much less likely to be unbalanced. That and a newe and better set of valve stems this season, should be fun!

That's cool, matter of fact I don't half fault you there lol those stock tires blow bad.
Tell you I got the Shinko SR007's and am very pleased, let me know how the Michelin turns out if you get it.

Will do, but I think I'll wait for spring just before i go through inspection although even the crappy tire would still get a pass at the moment. That's of course until i order up the Michelin, then i'll burn it down and even make a video...hehehehe
