“My first ped - Excellent buy!”

Written on: 11/12/2011 by AeroxFan005

I bought my Yamaha Aerox R 50cc 2011 in blue a week and a half ago and i must say it is an amazing bike! It came restricted and i rode it like this for just over a week. It cruised along at 31mph on flatland and 36mph maxed downhill. After a week i took of the restrictor on the variator ( fair easy with basic tools, would have been easier if i had a impact wrench but i just used an Allen Key and a spanner) after removing the restrictor i found i cruised at about 37mph flatland and 42-43mph downhill with alot more acceleration! This small increase is enough for me to beable too keep behind cars in most traffic on my journey too school and if i were to get pulled over by the police the scooter looks and sounds restricted. I will soon be purchasing a Stage 6 exhaust and this should hopefully increase the speed by another 10-15mph. The scooter handles well in wet / rainy conditions and is okay on frosty roads as long as you slow down on corners and generaly take your time. Over all the scooter looks, sounds and rides amazing! A perfect buy for any first time rider or someone looking too buy a sporty scoot to ride around town on. Very happy buyer and owner of an aerox
