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.

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

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.
