| | Re: more top end speed after run in I have had kits that ranged from 25 mph (40 kph) to over 35 mph (60 kph).
A lot depends on the engine, which intake it has, how well the ports are matched, what type of muffler, ect.
Most all of them can be made to run 50-60 kph with a little work.
Break-in does help, but I think a lot of it is due to "tweaking the engine and components" during the break-in period.

| | Re: more top end speed after run in You'll get a little more power and maybe speed if you go to 24 to 1, or even 30-32 to 1 synthetic oil.
How's the break-in going? Has it picked up any speed yet?

| | Re: more top end speed after run in i noticed a big difference in out-of-the-box power, between bushing and bearing motors.
bushing motors were quick from the start, but bearing motors dont achieve total power until you're into the third tank.
its a new motor. everything's tight, and the rings havent seated yet.

| | Re: more top end speed after run in well when i first got it, it had a bit of power but no top speed so i drilled some holes in the carby filter cover and that made a bit of a different to the top speed but it seems to be not getting enough air.
Like when i ride i can put it full and it will get up too a speed and then the exhaust will make a vibration noise and it just wont go no more.

| | Re: more top end speed after run in Have you checked your motor mounts? It is possible the fuel is foaming in the carb due to lose mounts or excess vibration.  |

| | Re: more top end speed after run in Sound like it is going into a four cycle when it "gets there". Try a leaner carb setting. (one notch up on the needle.)
