5 of 5 A nice little upgrade Monday, May 20, 2019
taco eater : Micah Shafer from Mount Pleasant , MI United States  
The installation was pretty easy on this kit i didn't have to port match or take apart the engine at all. I have only drove this for about 40 miles now but so far i really like the boost for take off and mid range is decent. Clean up the sharp ports and make them buttery smooth for your rings though. i did manage to soft seize going top speed but i managed to fix that issue now. i went really fast on this and i didnt think i would based on other reviews. I hit 44mph on my Grande for a second or two and backed it off cuz im still breaking it in.

5 of 5 I think the other reviews missed the point.... Thursday, March 14, 2019
taco eater : Ascoute, Zeros from Toledo, OH United States  
Looking at the other reviews, sans one, it seems that most people dont understand this kit, in that its not really a "performance minded design" this is a 30mph cylinder blasted out to 64cc's, will it scream like a Polini? no, will it give you mad torque like a Malossi? also no, will it run WOT for miles at a mehhh rate of speed like a stock cylinder with a bit more of everything? Yes, yes it will, I have this cylinder on my wifes Grande, she's taken it to rallies, and we've ridden it dubs many times, it does 41 no matter what, thats with a 12/12sha, techno circuit, Polini vario, my fat ass, and her pretty self, so ya, are you trying to go fast? dont buy this kit, are you trying to have a bike with the reliability of stock and a little more power? Buy this kit, its rock solid

3 of 5 Ok not my fave Wednesday, April 23, 2014
taco eater : DJ Lou Spin from houston, TX United States  
purchased this kit, worked well for a while but then i had issue with it, gave to my friend and he is hitting 40mph on his ciao.  I have a DR on my grande and that bad boy is a beast.  I would recommend the extra money for the DR.

5 of 5 Nice Kit Tuesday, September 25, 2012

Original cylinder was seized, put this on my stock Grande, just had to do some carburetor tuning. Has a great low end as previously stated, high end is about the same.

3 of 5 alright kit Tuesday, August 9, 2011
taco eater : C.D. from Chicago, IL United States  
from a dude who rides and specalizes on vespas, the quality on this is pretty decent, but there's no real "special features" to it. it is a low to mid range kit though, not huge on the top end, but if you're trying to get around at around 40ish...this is a good way to go.

get a bigger carb, and you can even rock your stock exhaust if you dont wanna spend a lot of money

4 of 5 Solid and Simple Wednesday, March 9, 2011
taco eater : Jason W from Louisville, KY  
This kit is an easy upgrade from my stock cylinder.  It's more of a low and mid range kit.  Perfect for city riding.  This kit can run all day long with little risk to seizing.  If you're looking for a kit that's solid and simple...this is your kit.  Pair it with a leovince circuit pipe for extra low to mid range pep!
