Your bike might actually be reading in kph, even if it states 'mph' My TMEC 200 states mph, but is actually kph, even though I have not verified with GPS. However, it would be maxing out at an indicated 80 mph, which I figured was really about 50 mph. My odometer reads in km as well, and is pretty accurate as I had measured the distance to my work using a car odometer, from my driveway to the 'motorcycle parking' at the prison unit I work in, and when I converted the km's, it was pretty much spot on with the miles.

It could just be a coincidence, too, but do check your odometer to see if it is in miles or kilometers. If it is really in kph on a mph speedometer like my enduro, you would be right at 45 mph, which sounds right for a new, tight CT70 125cc clone engine, that is stock.

It's likely to be the phone. Can you try on a computer?

Some forums won't let you upload pictures from a phone and some do.

I dont got a computer right now. I mite see if I can go to the library and try. And I gps it today and I had it to 63mph and its stock. Im puting on my 2008 crf100f 23mm carb on it tomorrow and going to try and and put my pit bike exhaust on it also. I removed all the stickers last night and modified the trail light and turns.

That bike flys then for a 125cc, what gearing does it have?

That's really good speed for a 125! Cool looking bike.

[icebearct70]

Thanks now i wonder if my 2008 honda crf100f dirt bike swing arm will fit. And I know ill have to modify the shock mount up. I will try that tomorrow also if it dont rain.

This is my 1970 ct70 I just sold for $500 because I couldn't get it titled. And I could get my clone. really need info on these front forks and that swing arm.

That's a nice looking CT70. Thanks for posting the photos.

Nice. I wonder if a CT90 swingarm would fit. Or an older xr80/100 swingarm. Might need the extra length to keep the front end down.

[Weldangrind]

Those inverted forks look like they might be from a pit bike. Try searching eBay for starters. Once you find a set that are close to the right length, remove your existing forks and measure the stem length, stem diameter and bearings. Someone on this forum will have a similar pit bike, and you should be able to compare. If the measurements are the same, buying the pit bike forks would not be much of a risk.

I'd stay away from the complexity of the single sided swingarm, but a larger Honda twin shock swingarm might do the trick. Grom rims might be the best bet after that.
