It's called power! I am right now on the way to pick up my scooter with its new Dr. Pully variator, sliders, and spring! Now I am really excited!

Do you sit near the rear of the seat? Moving your weight towards the rear like that can also facilitate a wheelie.

Thats what we in the industry like to call torque. Now imagine more mods, and that wheel coming right off the ground. Thats what mine does. :twisted:

You obviously need counselling from Doctor Kaos. There is so much more to do. :lol:

Most modifications require a "settling in" period. It should only get better with time.

Thanks for the reassurance. That's very good to hear. My new DP variator, spring and sliders are just a day old so apparently still have a ways to go before being settled in a reaching peak performance. Phew... they sure aren't there now.
