Scooter dragging

[Soapy]

Don’t laugh, we just bought 4 Modena 125’s and mines keeps dragging after 40mph, it’s like I’m pulling the front brake on sharp.
Someone told me that the problem might be the tappets, so I had them reset by a garage to the specifications for the bike.
I’m still getting the same dragging.
I got to admit it has to carry me at 17:5 stone and my scooter is dressed.
People say it’s my mirrors, but I’ve tried to explain, it doesn’t drag at 10-15 or 20 mph and it’s still carrying the same weight.

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it, also need a spark to wire my front spots and to fashion them to an independent switch which means that they will not use or run down the battery.

Obviously I know I gotta pay out for it, but the cheaper the better.

these things have a reported top speed of 55 so if you're a big lad AND you have a bunch of bathroom accessories on it , its quite possible thats all its going to do ?

If you put all the 4 engines into one bike you should be able to achieve a top speed of 220 mph.

TBF if that were the case, even I might be converted :-)
