I simply went up one tooth on the front spocket of my KPX 250 and it dropped the cruise RPM by 500 at 55 mph. it doesn't seem to care at all off road either. I'm with Bill Hilly, 55 mph is plenty fast enough for me. I'm not trying to spin the little motor to death cruising at 65+ mph all day. But I have a little extra on tap if need be. Some folks get tied up in top speed. We should all remember you basically have a lawn mower motor with a gear box. LOL.
