You will definitely have to change the front sprocket and get the wheels (at least front wheel) balanced to cruise at 60-65 on the xpect.

Stock, it does 55 mph at about 7300 RPMs.

Considering a new engine is apparently about $200 or something that I have read on this form many times for these bikes, I would say you’re not saving money by getting the liquid cooled. Even assuming you are correct saying a liquid cooled engine would last longer.

Personally, I don’t see any reason a liquid cooled engine would last any longer. They are just different techniques. Both engineered to keep the engine at the proper temperature.
