Does my top speed sound right?

PimpinSpree · Post by **PimpinSpree** » Fri Sep 19, 2008 7:50 pm

I'm still breaking in my motor, so i havn't done an actual top speed run

but my spree has an se50 motor with 65cc big bore and 8.4 gears. At half throttle it'll get up to 40mph pretty quick, zips right up to it. But if i have tried giving it full throttle after its going 40 and it really doesn't feel like its gonna go much faster. But i haven't tried holding it open for very long yet

Think i should change to 9.1 gears?

Since you have stock everything...it might take you awhile to go past 40. So Ride it out on full throttle and see if it inches away from 40.

Now remember... Heavier roller weight will give you a better top end. What have you done with you springs?

Probably needs tuning with the rollers, a pulley kit cant hurt. What oil mix are you running?

what do you mean stock everything? i have 8.4 gears and a big bore

im not sure about my roller weights. I could put my aftermarket variator on but i think im gonna wait till im comfortable holding it wot. And no i havn't done anything with the springs yet

im running 25 to 1 oil. It still needs tunning. Its real rich, but it runs smooth

do they make like weight kits or do i just need to buy a whole bunch of different ones?

That's what I mean stock everything. It's like this...you can't do an exhaust with out the correct carb. YOu want top speed? You need a better pully. Those gears don't do anything for you unless you upgrade everything else. Big bore kit is probably just getting you all rev happy.

I bet once you put that new variator in, you will do 45 at a cruising speed.

ya buy you say the big bore will make me all "rev happy" but right now it still doesn't have the power to get into very high rpms. I'm thinking tuning with the weights will make a bigger difference than the variator itself. And im wanting higher speeds than 45. people get 45 out of just a variator

Get a variator kit and a weight kit, should be around $20 for the weight kit. 25:1=GOOD

i've got a variator. I think i'll order some weights though. Im guessing vt for those?

a highspeed pulley is like the best thing you can get for a honda motor.

VT also has roller kits you can buy.

great for fine tuning your ride.

i think im gonna order them from daywot. He treated me a lot better than vt. VT * me off

PimpinSpree · Post by **PimpinSpree** » Fri Sep 19, 2008 10:56 pm

so is the consensus that i don't need to switch to 9.1 gears? Right now it just doesn't see to have enough power to get into high rpms

i ran 8.44:1 gears on a stock cylinder for a while, its a tuning problem, not a gearring problem.

and if you dont mind me asking, how did VT * you off? you are the first person so far that has had a complaint about them.

they sent my package with signiture confirmation, but i was gone on vacation (to hawaii. how ironic) That wouldnt' have been a problem, if they would have just informed me they were gonna do that. So when i get back, my package had already been mailed back to them.

So then i called them up and i explained it. They said i would have to pay for shipping again, which i don't agree with because had they told me i could have made arrangements. So i tell them to mail it again, and this time i would prefer no signiture confirmation, since im never home when the mail comes

So then a week later, i get home from work and i have another slip saying i needed to go down to the post office to get my package. So i had to get off work ealy to get my package. Not a huge deal, but enough to * me off a little. Oh, and they wouldn't answer any of my emails after i gave them my money
