I just rebuilt the top end of my 50cc. Ported the head, unshrouded the valves, increased the valve pockets on the piston and removed the base gasket. Compression now 11:1. Huge difference! Easily gets to 73km/hr with a straight through muffler. I would keep the head gasket though. Unless you do...

Still going strong after around 1000kms. Baby of the skyteam family. A high revving 50cc

Great project. I also have an ace 50cc, that after a few mods now runs very well and is a hell of alot of fun. Remove the restrictor, change the cdi add a foam airfilter, change the exhaust, re-jet the carb, upgrade to a 14tooth front sprocket and you will be pleasantly surprised

Hey still having a load of fun on my ace 50. Plenty of mods planned on top of the ones allready completed.

You are so right. It is a crap load of fun! And I am keen to see how much I can squeeze out of the little 50!

Hi there, although traditionally an old VW guy, I have turned my hand to try motorbikes (although I don't have a license, so I am now a scooter guy)! I love the cafe racer style from the 60's so until I have my license and can build something with more grunt I am working on this. Still pretty...
