Re: More top spped wanted

Sounds like u already have a aftermarket vari so 9.1 gears would give you 45-50..sometimes speeds of almost burying the speedo depending on a few factors..I've done it a few times and I'm between 180 and 190 lbs. Usually I see speeds of 45 tho

9.1 Is great for a stock bike.
Highly recomended..plus they are there if you ever upgrade the motor.

I have them on my bike ('98 elite) with a keli vari.
Acceleration is still good..(my friends are surprised how zippy it is for a moped)

Stock weights and I run 45 mph no problem..With a tailwind I ...

So which kit from Polini do you think would be good for this setup:
9.1 gears, some type of aftermarket exhaust, probably a bigger carb, kelly hs variator, probably will play with the roller weights, stock airbox.
Corsa or Contesta?

The contesta has a higher redline but is also 75 bucks more ...

But what I'm thinking of getting a a good ...

Just get one of those face hats.
Can't think of what they're called.
They cover your forehead, ears, most of your face and is long enough to get tucked into your shirt.
Should work wonders.

Ski mask

Depending on your climate and engine modifications or lack of gear oil may be too thick.

Since Michigan doesn't get very warm most days in the summer and we have a colder climate for fall, and winter, some of us choose to run 10w40 motor oil..which is also what the Manuel recommends

I myself use ...

Nice car esp for that price!

The rust isn't too bad either for a car that is 16 years old..actually really good condition imo. Wouldn't be a hard fix either. I just picked up a 95 chevy corsica two weeks ago and it has no rust, had a bunch of those rust spots but those came out with a turtle wax ...

I don't think its anything to worry about.

On a cold start if your really pushing out smoke and lacking power for a short time I consider that normal on 2-strokes and if it get better within a time frame of 15 seconds to 30 seconds your fine..if its longer than that it may be something to start ...

With the pully alone you'll hit 40 for sure and up to 43 flat without headwind.
With a tail wind you can hit 45 maybe a tad more but it doesn't sound pretty because the gears are really winding out
