It's a good looking scooter
* It sounds like a hoover
* It's a bit slow
* My seats a bit wobbly.
How can I make my speed-fight 50cc sound more decent instead of like a hoover?
I'm only 16 and my parents would kill me if I did anything to it that would make my insurance void.
Can anybody help?

As close to perfect as possible!
Electric start starter motor failed.
Kick start broke.
Brakes got stuck about 3/4 on when I was over 5 miles from my home, so I thought I'd try and drive home, which eventually lead to the front brake pads catching fire! (luckily it was a hot day, so I had a bottle of water in the boot) - new brake pads, calipers were fine!
Rectifier/regulator failed and blew both front lights (£23 each!), tacho lights and rear light.
Rollers stopped rolling.
Drive belt snapped.
My bike is a Prost Sport Edition, which means front & back discs, shiny steel foot-plates, and it's liquid cooled. Also included was stupid bright red mirrors!
This bike is great, the acceleration is unparralleled by my friend's bikes (standard Speedfight 2 50, Katanya 50 & Vivacity Sport 50), and I have made no modifications to it.
Handles lovely, very predictable at the limit, also has much heavier/more feedback steering than the standard Speedfight 2 & Katana.
Braking is also very good with front & back disc brakes.
It sounds a lot better than the others too, they sound like supercharged Dysons, but mine's quite beefy at idle.
Is derestricted and can do about 55mph on a flat, tucked in with the wind behind (have got 65 down hill though!)
I have only had the bike about half a year and quite a few things have gone wrong, but I believe this is only because I go everywhere at 55ish and it gets used to take me fishing, about a mile drive off road (actually does it with ease).
Fuel consumption is very poor, I get about 25 to 30km per full tank!
Only problem I found with the dealer is expense e.g £23 per front light, also wanted me to pay £100 for a USED exhaust, and finally I was quoted £450 for a new full plastic set!
My dad had the bike for 3 years before me to take him to work and back, (about 1.5km there and back - hence the low mileage when I got it!)

It seems to me pal that you have a fuel tank problem possibly a leak. I have the same scooter and on a full £6 of fuel I can get over 160 miles out of it, which is amazing!, I've had mine derestricted and also put on a Technigas speed race pipe and it now goes faster than my mate's 125 =) Happy scooting!

Drill a tiny hole into the exhaust muffler, use a small drill bit. I had the same problem, and I drilled the pipe underneath, so my parents would not notice. Let me know how you get on.
