KKtrips Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I have only just realised this said gateway bike. I thought it was your getaway bike and you were planning on bailing on your kids and wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODB Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Good thing was there was a guy there with a 50cc single speed honda that was hitting 80 so potential was there. Think he just had an expansion chamber and funky carb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 45 is factory top speed so your good in that respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cullen Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 decoke the exhaust and clean up the exhaust port if you haven't already. it should improve things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted September 16, 2013 Author Share Posted September 16, 2013 How many rpm is it doing at 45kmh? Also if one was to build expansion chamber how many rpm should I target? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Truenotch Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 With the single speed trans they go quite well with a pocket bike spanny when you get to the higher RPM. My orange one would keep pulling a million RPM and kept up with the 2 speed around Taupo once it wound up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
felixx Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 What are high rpm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIRK Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 would be easy to work out approx. what rpm you're looking for by doing some maths on your gear ratio and tyre size compared to speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
