Altitude can play an issue in scooter performance. When you are dealing with elevation you will want to rejet to prevent your engine from siezing and requiring a rebuild. You will loose about 3% in power for every 1000' in elevation. At 4000' feet you will have lost about 12% of your power output. You will want to go down one (1) jet size for every 1750' to 2000' you go up in elevation. When the air is colder it requires bigger jets because cold air is more dense. If it is 50 degrees colder you would increase your jet size at least one step up. If you don't, your engine may sieze on you.
