I don't think anyone has one yet, give em all a few months and I'm sure the aftermarket will be all over it.

what kind of faster do you want? top speed or low end power?

First off a high compression piston for more power, and a good camshaft when they are available.. Along with an exhaust, filter, jet kit.

If you just want more top speed or more low speed just change the sprockets to do what you want.

HMF is already making an exhaust for it.

Right now you are going to have to dig around, but performance parts will be ever more abundant as the year progresses. I know you can't go wrong with HMF for the exhaust so you might want to start there.

You won't gain a whole lot of top end speed unless you do change your sprockets. You can go with a bigger sprocket in the front for $20 and gain more top speed. But the idea is to do enough mods to pull the taller gearing to give you more speed. Usually a stock engine with tall gearing sucks.

you can't get a higher top speed unless you change your sprockets. Changing anything else will only make you get there faster.
