Question 150cc GY6 Final Drive Ratio

Checked the plug and it seemed fine. Replaced it anyway at 300K since this was part of the "break-in" service recommended by the dealer. I don't think it's a plug problem.

If the sides are bulging it's a good bet that its being overcharged. Wear safety glasses and thick work gloves and check the battery while the bike is running. Get the RPMs up above 2000 while...
