No doubt Colin will see this post shortly, he will be able to sort out any parts u will need. There is a lot you can do to the EcoMoto but as with anything the further you go the shorter the life of the engine. Is your engine a 250cc or a 300? Most of them have been taken out to 300cc in recent years but does seem to put alot of strain on the big end.
I used to run a 250cc Eco in Formula 6 a few years ago and found a good improvemnt just by gas flowing the top end (everything from the cylinder up is standard off the shelf kawasaki so still easy to get)

If your engine is still standard:
Have the head ported and gas flowed
Fit a bigger bore exaust pipe
Ditch the air box and use an open filter

Upgrade the carb. The standard keihnen is not very good, 38/40mm mikuni's and dellorto's were the favoured option.

All this is relatively inexpensive and will not impact greatly on engine life.

I may still have my 38mm Mikuni stored away somewhere, did about a season on a 250cc Eco from new and not used for anything else so still jetted as it was last raced.
