Yuminashi 164cc and Speedbooster Variator Kid :VIDEO:
Topping out at over 90 miles per hour!!!!
Is anyone interested in performance engine parts from Yuminashi? I'm gauging interest in distributing his products as there isn't a very legitimate dealer online that i've found, at least not of the english language.
I've already had some communications with the Owner and Operator of the business. He is very interested.
The company currently offers:
Drive face and Variator assemblies including roller weights
High Speed Gear Kits
Performance and High Compression Cylinder Bore and Stroke Kits (from a High Compression 125cc kit up to a Bored, Stroked 210cc Dominator)
Performance Cylinder Heads
Performance Valves, Valve Springs, and Camshafts
Big Bore Throttle Body assemblies
His products could push the scooter well into the 100+mph max speed. not that anyone is interested in that. haha.
Let me in on your input, as I am interested in your opinion. Thanks

It'd depend on cost for me, especially if some emperical testing was offered to give us an idea of what actually helps and how much -- the strategy of dropping $1500+ on performance parts for an improvement without any idea of what actually helped and how much each helps doesn't really motivate anyone to mess with their bikes.
The 125 stock doesn't have power for the high speed gear kit, so the next easiest mod is the variator or a larger throttle body. The bore up kits obviously involve a rebuild... If I ever blew up my PCX, I might consider the upgrade, but probably wouldn't.
Just my thoughts.

Need to see some prices,thats the best way to gauge interest...Someone on ebay is selling Yuminashi stuff but its bit rich for my taste especially after seeing original Yuminashi web pricing.

Ive got pricing for/ea and /bulk, but its based on exchange rates that fluctuate. Shipping is my next big question that i have to get quoted on, but shipping prices are a variable also.maddiedog wrote:It'd depend on cost for me, especially if some emperical testing was offered to give us an idea of what actually helps and how much -- the strategy of dropping $1500+ on performance parts for an improvement without any idea of what actually helped and how much each helps doesn't really motivate anyone to mess with their bikes.

Ill be doing some testing for performance with a go pro to compare gains and losses. I understand that if i want to be a successful distributor, i will have to offer some amazing marketing standards and a secure and convenient shopping experience. Im determined to excel past current vendors, picking up where the slack is due to their lack of interest.

Define 150 upgrades. There is a list of items that are compatible between each scooter.dasshreddar wrote:Hey Mitch, will you be testing/selling any 150 upgrades...
I currently only own a 125, and although i would like to pick up a 150, i doubt i will create the revenue to justify it since the powerplant performance changes minimally when comparing heavy upgrades.

Re: Yuminashi 164cc and Speedbooster Variator Kid :VIDEO:
I thought the 150 "engine" was completely or mostly different than the 125. What parts are compatable?
I was thinking about any performance "upgrades" (ecu,cylinder kits, throttle body, cvt stuff etc.)that work.
I've only seen stuff for the 125 thats why i asked.

Quite a few changes, nothing drastic tho. Rocker arms, offset crank journal, and bore are the primary differences.dasshreddar wrote:I thought the 150 "engine" was completely or mostly different than the 125. What parts are compatable?

The ecu is something people have yet to crack/hack legitimately if you ask me. The current config maps are undesirable with my fair tuning knowledge.
The best bet for more/less fuel is an apexi safc.
Cylinder kits, throttle body and cvt stuff id what id prioritize. People want power and speed more than anything else if you ask me
Re: Yuminashi 164cc and Speedbooster Variator Kid :VIDEO:
I'd say put together a power kit that doesn't require extra tuning and organize a group buy.

Re: Yuminashi 164cc and Speedbooster Variator Kid :VIDEO:
If with the 164cc kit it goes 0-100 in 9 sec. and has Top Speed of 150km/h...
What´s the performance of the 184 and 210cc kits ?
