I am interested in putting a motor on my bike.I have a rincon mountain bike made by giant its has front and rear disc brakes which I would like to keep. I'm a larger guy so I looked at the 66cc motor and wanted to get the most performance I can get out of the motor. Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks

hi and welcome to the forums, goats right, i'm new here to and have already gotten lots of help. for performance sickbikeparts also has an expansion chamber iv'e been reading up on, i can't personally afford one atm but the general consensus is they do increase performance, the shift kit goat linked you to is also considered effective from what iv'e read around here, then theres porting which iv'e been reading up on which gives a smoother ride/operation.

a guide to it is right here, make sure you read it thoroughly if you decide to do it else you'll potentially ruin your motor.
