Good call on the Metro. They are way cooler than the Ruckus I got my metro and came to the metro section hoping for many of the things you are looking for. However to be brutally honest the Met sections is a little slow so there's just not enough info there yet. I am sure as more people buy and mod the Mets the section will grow. All I can say for the research is to check out the ruckus corner carving and ruckus performance sections a lot. A lot of the performance and handling mods for the Ruck will work for the met and you will eventually find any met specific stuff you are looking for if you hang out here long enough. Check out this thread for all sorts of good ideas then you can ask about specifics from there. viewtopic.php?f=4&t=27182

Thanks for the reply! I'll be headded toward the corner carving section really soon.
I love the ruckus's, but I bought the metro, because to be honest, I got it new, for what I could have bought a relatively beat ruckus for. No real worries about someone else's molestation, no question as to how well the motor has been taken care of. The Fairings are nice too, as wind resistance seems to be less of an issue (test drove both on the same day). Today, I broke 98 miles (70 of them today alone) and enjoyed every minute of it. Infact, I just MET another metropolitan owner today aswell, Some random person in McKinney with a green and white. Said she has had it for 7 years and rides daily. No modifications, but it's a well loved bike. I referred her to TR, but we'll see if she follows through.

the jets can b found online, the vendors on here or at some of the local lawn mower service shops. there is a place called Plano Power that deals with lawn mower service that carries jets for us. my friend is picking me up a few jets from there tomorrow. u should try there if u feel like driving from McKinney I am that friend and that was fail at Plano power. They don't have the jets in stock. So I'll be ordering them online.

The one on the left should light up red when you are running too hot. While the picture looks SIMILAR to a Met speedo, I'm not sure it is. That is because I've never seen one that displays kilometers only. It may exist, I just don't know.
