Did the OEM TPS recalibration and did it in the power commander. Double checked cam timing. The AFR trim at 100% throttle and around idle are sorted. I did an ignition cut from WOT and the plug looks good. FYI AFR targets at high loads are set at 13.1

I guess nest step is to check compression, but any ideas from the peanut gallery as to why I'm not making power? I'd expect lots of holes in the map to sort out but WOT above 7k seems good.... but still no power.

Is your spark plug gapped correctly?

Also did you check out their install notes page? https://ren-mw.com/guides/super-125-install

To be clear if I was to dip my toe into motorcycles, the Grom would be my starting point. Seems like a place to build skills B4 splattering my :melon:

We've talked about getting scooters or something to cruise around town on...I'd probably go Grom. This seems :notbad:

A few friends and I talked about each getting a Honda Ruckus for mobbing down to the beach and around that part of town on. Would be fun. I don't know the difference between those and Grom, other than that the Ruckus looks more like a scooter.
