I was set on a Takegawa 88cc s-stage, but then I talked to a friend that knows ALOT about bikes. Here's what he said, "you'll make a little more power with Kitaco's. It uses a 20mm carb instead of 18mm, has a slightly larger filter, and the piston is machined billet instead of just cast. The larger carb gives you more topend power, and the piston revs higher than Takegawa's. It really is a better kit. I'm actually removing an S-stage off my son's bike that has less than two hours on it to go with Kitaco's because it's faster." So I went kitaco, and no complaints here. ITS SICK! go kitaco.
