sym jet x 125 tuning after CVT checks and exhaust questions
I am opening a sym jet x 125 tuning thread because the scooter feels fine in town but flat on short hills, and there is already a separate exhaust discussion that made me think the CVT should be checked first.
I found this related page while comparing options: sym jet x 125 tuning. I wanted a practical discussion before ordering anything.
Would you inspect belt width, rollers, variator ramps, clutch dust, tire pressure, brake drag, plug, air filter and fuel use before fitting tuning or exhaust parts?
