how to increase the top speed of a vespa gts 125 without ruining launch

how to increase the top speed of a vespa gts 125 forum question

I am trying to understand how to increase the top speed of a vespa gts 125, but the scooter still has unknown belt age and no GPS baseline. I do not want to tune a worn CVT and call it success.

I found this related page while comparing notes: how to increase the top speed of a vespa gts 125. I wanted a practical thread before ordering parts.

Would you check belt width, roller flat spots, variator ramps, clutch dust, air filter, plug, valve clearance, brake drag, tire pressure, GPS both ways and legal limits first?
