I had trouble with insurance as well. My company would not write a policy for it so I went to Geico. They (Geico) did not have a listing for it, so the agent called the underwriter or somebody at the main office, and they added it on the spot. |

well, about 5 minutes ago, i ordered the 30mm Mikuni and 115/40 jets ... found out with gps, it hit 71mph with strong tailwind and slight downhill bone stock ... i am feeling much better about getting her out of town on the highway now ... tach still never showed up yet, so no sprocket change yet, maybe next payday

got the carb, pilot, and main ... going to install it right now ... then i will try top speed again (dont think it will do any better) and see if she feels like she can take a small rear sprocket ... still no tach yet and they claim they have sent 2 of them ... must have a guy rowing them over from china

got a question? those tires look a lot like the ones in the pictures of the tt250. How do you like them so far?

well, not a huge power gain, but she does pull a little better with the new carb and jets ... one good thing, i have never gotten it started with the kick starter, hot or cold ... dont know about cold yet, but one kick when hot ... top speed was the same as before ... crusing speed seems to be about 50mph though ... anyone know the max rpm you can crank the counterbalanced motor at for a long haul without damage?

ok, got that tach bolted on and hooked up, it is a little slow, but seems to read just fine. the sad news is, i just do not think the engine has the power to go much faster and for the most part, 55 is wot on flat ground. strange thing is, it is the same cruising speed with 1 or 2 on it and i can get just over 50 in 4th gear. i guess the next thing i will try is the adjustable timing cdi box ... i just do not like to cruse at wot, it just seems that bad things happen at wot for long periods of time ... when it has cooled a bit i think i will try dropping the clip down a notch, i would hate to be running lean ... anyone know what the temperature of the engine and header should be running at?

When you get a chance.
What is rpm saying at idle? What is rpm saying at wot. Can't figure why only 55 even after mods at wot. Mine is GPS wot 63mph flat with low or favorable wind. Experiment with different jets? If you must perist, you may have to go the more air in more air out route. Such as the cone filter etc.

with 40/115 jets in the vm26 carb and 17/45 sprockets ... i have not moved the clip yet because i have to take the tank off to do it and i did not feel like doing that tonight ... also thinking about opening the pipe and modding the baffle for a bit more flow ... maybe i will make a short run with the filter out to check air flow to see if a filter will help, but i really dont want an open filter, i want to keep it in the box for rain and mud rides |

Math: 55 mph @ 8000 rpm is gearing. That motor is the exact same motor as the Hawk and any other Hondoid, plus counter balance shaft. A CG motor.
Bash out your cat in the muffler to let it breath (or get this http://chinariders.net/showthread.php?t=15893 ) and get a smaller rear sprocket. There's no way that thing is only capable of 55 mph, WOT @ 8000 rpm. I wouldn't even burn the $$$ on a voodoo CDI yet. There is no documentation here that proves they work or we'd all have them. Stick with the known and proven basics first. Remember, all of these bikes are geared to climb trees out of the box.
