The Sweet Spot
So after riding last night I made a discovery that gave my scoot a new nickname: Heinz 57. I noticed that as I'm riding, the engine is smooth up to about 40mph, then it will get kinda noisy and vibrate, then at exactly 57 mph it is completely smooth... like zero engine vibration. Once it goes over 57 then it starts running rough again.
Granted, I need to change my spark plug, but I was wondering if anyone else has a "sweet spot" where the engine runs its smoothest. Or am I just weird?
Wait, don't answer that last question

you are just weird
I have a sweet spot... its everywhere as long as the motor is running.
No i dont have a vibration less motor... the ride is just so sweet... anywhere I am going at any speed!
but to actually answer your question... up to 40 is pretty smooth... then 40-47 is rough... then 47 + is all pretty smooth.

Nice thing about electronic ignition is that it will fire that plug until it is gone.
