I have a 44 tooth rear sprocket. and a pretty big back tire.I should have mentioned that.I got it up to 100kmh today real fast.I think it should be able to pull 120kmh And let me cruise at 90 or so. HELLO gas mielage

OH YEA, today i went for a 50km drive and 1/2 way through my valves started getting noisy. got home pulled valve cover, checked/reset valves. Intake valve was (a little)loose again!!!Then i noticed in the tiny oil holes in the valve cover there was a tiny little metal shaving blocking the hole(for the intake valve) 8O I ran it pretty hard too ....ouch. Im glad they have that little service hole on the side. I just pulled the plug and sprayed wd40 till it came out, and reassembled.

The day was saved by a 10mm wrench

Im in Jalisco, not near the border. They sell these at Electra

If you already have a 44T I would just swap a 17T on the front. That should make a noticable change.

I should also note that since everything is tip top shape and brake in period done i took it for a long drive, Not a single hiccup. And i got it up to 105Km indicated and it seemed like i was going that fast too.

Do you need to go any faster than that? I would experiment with just the front sprocket. It is easily changed.
