I just adjusted the valves on my friends 08 Buddy 125 to .08mm. Piston was moved to top dead center per the 3 holes and the marks on the cam gear.
After buttoning everything up the bike started fine, accelerated fine but wouldn't go past 50. It didn't even feel like it had more to give.
I'm waiting on the engine to cool to double check but anyone have any suggestions?
Adjusted valves and now can't go past 50

Might have run it lean and burnt the valves if he didn't change jets with the pipe. They lose speed when the oil is over filled. Check spark plug and spark plug cap the inside of the cap goes bad over time. Buddy's valves are not known to change much not like cheaper scooters
what did you trade the day for?
