Haha, ok. What speeds do you get without pedalling on flat and with which sprocket etc?

40km/hr, but I have no speedo, I have one I got for christmas,
am yet to install. Dunno the sprocket info.

My back wheel is on its last legs, so I think that'll
improve the speed, when I get a new wheel.

I also think my motor cylinder, is stuffed as it had a hole in it from the start.
So, I probably never get full compresion.

I also don't like the thought of coming off at a higher speed...
which slows me down.

Re: the tightening of stuff, I put Super-Glue everywhere
once I first tighten it all up.
and never tighten anything, just put super-glue on all
the nuts every now and then.

But thats just my way out of being lazy I guess.
I even put it on the bolts that tighten the back wheel,
anywhere that can come loose gets the glue.

For $2 for 10 tubes you're laughing...

Ok. lol, I think the same thing happens to me, when I put on more throttle, the engine seems to rev higher than what I would think is a healthy amount, which worries me a little.

These engines can rev quite high, without fault.
at the moment, I'm using the engine as my brake when riding around,
and when going slow, it revs/sounds real low.

Always take a bike lock, so if you break down, you can tie it up
and walk home lol.

hi' i'm from newcastle and i've got the 80
my top speed is 42 on the flat and it runs well i thought but hearing all this talk about going up to 50 i'm a bit peeved that i cant get that. ive done port matching and exhaust mods and never had any boost up top but i get to 40k in about 20 mtrs

Hey BRASSOMAN

ENO (Newcastle NSW)..Welcome again to Mbc..My son runs the HT 80cc on his OCC Chopper..probably does around 35 to 40k..need speedo..try adding a better quality chain instead of the chinese cheapo..Get a 415 (S) FENNER ROLLER CHAIN (Blackwoods or Baker Industries NSW)..only about $14 for a ten foot length (= two chains)..make sure you order extra chain links (33 cents each) at the same time..Doesnt flip off the tensioner / doesnt bend and twist like the chinese one...If youre looking for Aussies in your zone go to the thread "AUSSIE ROLL CALL" they are all there...Good luck..ENO

im a bit worried about rumours ive heard about these zbox motors tho

what rumours ahve you heard? Get a Z80. Half the ones i see on the road are 66cc(i know the looks of one) and cops cant tell the difference.
