Hey guys,
I've found a few threads mentioning low end power but most people seem to be after speed. I wanted to start a thread to see how many mods we can get in one place that are dedicated to adding low end torque to your bike. Personally, I'd be plenty happy if i could mod my bike so that its top speed is 27 or even 25 (instead of 40-45 that some people are reporting, crazy!!) but so it had enough low end to go trail riding and climb 'semi'-steep or rocky hills. not sure if thats possible but lets find out!!
Here's what i've done that has worked so far:
I put a 2-3" extension between my carb and intake, which utilized that vaccuum pressure and extra space to pull more air and fuel into the cylinder per cycle. I found that mod and a great explanation at this link here: http://www.dragonfly75.com/bicimoto/index2.html (i don't have a good pic of this right now but i'll be sure to post one)
I also upgraded to the nt speed carb with the red filter cap, i'm not sure that did a whole lot but i felt a little difference, that obviously added speed too.
i eventually (once my engine is fully broken in) am going to get a bigger sprocket too, not sure what size yet, i currently have the 44 that came with my kit.
So, lets hear what you got! remember to post pictures! feel free to post links to other threads if you think it'll add to the discussion.
Peace!
