Thank you for all the subscriptions. These episodes are not a how-to on making your bike go faster. Everyone has different needs and criteria on what they want out of their bikes. For me, I ride this bike primarily to work in stop & go traffic and in mostly ideal condition without rain, dust or snow. These videos serve as a documentary on how my 50cc Piaggio Typhoon 2-stroke scooter doubled it's acceleration and increased top speed from 30mph to ~60mph with just a few simple mods - most of them are free and only requires a bit of understanding how a scooter works.
This video is filmed on exactly the same stretch of road. The weather was slightly different by 2 degrees before and after the modifications but the difference in performance is significant and evident. The bike pulls much harder now and gets to top speed quickly for a 50cc standard. With just a few simple mods, this bike has became a lot funner and even somewhat sketchy on those 10" nearly 10 year old tires. Stay tuned for further updates to handling, aesthetic, and even more performance modification to the 2005 Piaggio/NRG Typhoon!
In this video, I also demonstrate that the rule you always read from scooter tuners regarding "lighter weight=acceleration, heavier weight=top speed" is far from the truth. While it indeed holds validity to some extent, this video shows you how going down to a lighter weight and in this case the more optimal roller weight setup for this engine, this environment, and this scenario will yield BOTH improved acceleration AND top speed. The common misconception that selection of rollers weights for one or the other is not entirely true.
Most manufacturer install stock roller weights that are far too heavy to optimize fuel economy and engine longevity with performance.. It turns out Piaggio uses 6.5g stock roller weights in this 2005 Piaggio Typhoon. Leo Vince supplies 5.8g weights so might as well give it a try before I purchase even lighter roller weights! Piaggio report this engine makes peak horsepower at 9500RPM. With that said however, Leo Vince never really supplied any information at which optimal RPM this expansion chamber exhaust pipe is designed for.
Hope you find this video helpful and please like & subscribe for further scooter tuning videos!
If you want your bike to bury the speedo needle like ours did in Episode 1, subscribe and stay tuned for future episodes. We will show you how we derestrict the bike from factory, install the Leo Vince ZXR exhaust, open up the intake, and modify the transmission. Come along with us as we transform this little 50cc scooter from a slow and boring bike to a fast and peppy machine that will do circles around traffic!
Other bikes that shares the same platform/engine includes Vespa, Piaggio, Aprilia, Peugot, Gilera, TPH, Typhoon, LT50, LX50, ET50, Scarabeo, Stalker, Zip, Fly, etc.
