You can make your Honda Vision moped faster by making mechanical alterations to the moped's air intake and variator systems. Airflow into your engine is inhibited by the plastic intake case and power transfer between the engine and drive belt is inhibited by a speed-restricting washer in the variator system. Removing the plastic intake case as well as the speed-restricting washer will make your Honda Vision moped go faster.

Unscrew the two bolts holding the intake case to the top of the variator case with a socket wrench.
