The makers of the engine claim that the motor can do 35 mph, but can it really go that fast or even faster? How fast have you gotten your bike to and what did you do to make it go that fast? |

I can make my bikes go over 40 MPH with a sprocket, match porting, exaust mod & jetting.

I have gone over 40 mph, but not checking with a GPS, only a cars speedometer.
Depending on the engine, and other factors, plus figuring it's up around "self destruct" on the rpm range, I would not suggest long high rpm runs.

I've done 28 with a 50 tooth sprocket, that means my engine was spinning over 7000 rpms. When I get my 33 tooth that would be 42 mph. I don't advise spinning the engine that fast for more than a few seconds. |

I run them at full speed for miles at a time!! So far all the engines are fine.
I mix my fuel at 25/1 after break-in, just to be safe! |

More oil the better in my view, just switched over to 22:1 from 16:1 |

How fast have you gotten your bike to and what did you do to make it go that fast? | 40 mph seems to be the practical limit. Mild tuning will get you there quite easily with a 67cc. Always pushing the engine limit, not gear ratio (with the kit) |

Well with my stock setup I've only gotten up to around 28 or so on the flat. I'm a bit heavier than the average Joe though, so that might have something to do with it. |

The highest I got on my stock HT was 34mph with a 44 tooth sprocket. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
