And the ones that make me really laugh are the ones with the fan blades curved the other way.

One thing I've always done is keep my tires up to 40 psi , although it wares the tires out " well it gives them a flat spot in the center of the rear tire " I do like the how the scoot runs with harder tires . I never thought of the scoot being able to gain up to 3 mph just by removing the cooling system , but after u explained it I'm sure it's possible .
As for the fans , when I first did the mods on my scoot I bought one of the smaller fans and found out real quick they don't cool worth " you know what " . Last yr I saw one like the green one and I decided I wanted to test it out because they made it sound like it was legit . So I bought one so I can post the true effects it has on the engine . But when I received it I knew right away it was junk . First the blades were turned in the opposite direction second while looking down on the blades from the top " if mounted on the scoot " the blades weren't as Long . Although the fan itself was lighter " which at this point wouldn't make a difference " . If I'm not mistaken I didn't even try it on the scoot . Lol

Just backs up what I said about these fans and how they fool people into believing they will do better. A fan with taller blades or maybe even more blades if designed right would push more air.......but it would take more HP or work to do so thus making one say accelerate more to ride at 55 than a lesser output fan require.

One wants to get all the ponies he can to the back wheel. Also on the lesser fan you mentioned it didn't cool worth a flip because it didn't move as much air but I bet the engine ran better?

But like I said people think performance means better cooling and when they put it on and discover other wise they aren't happy.

One of these days I'm gonna install an oil tank with an electric oil pump to constantly rotate a couple quarts or more of oil , I'm thinking this will keep engine temps under 180 degrees " even at high speeds " . I have it all designed , I just need to get the time to do It.
