Actually octane booster only raises your gas octane one or two points (89 to 89.1-2) What you should try is a premium with higher octane, paired with a slightly richer oil ratio. Personally im fine cruising down the road at 20 mph...
My Top speed?
- Thread starter saolom
- Start date
I found that a mix of 25:1 and using regular unleaded gas with a 36 t sprocket and a gap of .028 has given me a top speed on a clear open road of 38 MPH. I get all that out of a 49 cc China import. I am 6'2 " and 205 Lbs. I have also noticed that when I changed my riding positition ( seat height and handle bar placement ) I can tweek out one or two MPH more on the top end.
i have a stock 48cc brand new,will have more power after breakin.
im using regular gas and regualar 2-stroke oil.im using a 48t spocket.
im not changing anything,except im putting a pipe/hose extension on muffler and im changing gas tank to a smaller one,i dont need to go 150miles with it.im looking for a 24-32oz tank.im having trouble with my speedo,but i think i had my bike upto 20-30mph,it might do more.

High octane gas, or octane booster is a waste of money on these engines, and doesn't get you any higher speeds.
32 mph is good to better than average for one of these. Most go between 25-35 mph.

see, now with my bike im running a 44t sprocket and running about 40:1 ratio of full synthetic masterpro 2 cycle oil. i can hit about 25-30 on a flat road if i put my head closer to my handlebars so i can be more aerodynamic. i was thinking of a 36t, but i wasnt sure cuz i an in a hilled area and even if i cant climb the big ones, im fine, but its the long 3 block ones i am worried about at maybe about like 20 degrees of an angle... hows that sound?
I was 32.8 GPS 2 mi average speed before port matching on jug and exhaust. Increasing head volume and slightly sanding down the piston and adding Hi perf wire and BP6HS, and jetting the carb to 67.
That is on a 44t
It gets there in a hurry now. Need a 40-41 to slow them revs at max cruising.
