40mm offset intake?

[Hello Moto!]

I don't need a race bike but something that can take off from a dead stop without peddling would be A-OK! Maybe I need to get a bigger sprocket lol. Also hope the longer intake helps the low end some, when I get it. All in all man, I'm just really not impressed with this Skyhawk motor. My old eBay motor would hit 35mph and this one's havin a hard time gettin to 25mph lmao! Exact same engine set up too. All I had on that one was a jetted SHA clone too. WTF?

The only difference would be that this Skyhawk frame and bike is probably 5-10 lbs heavier than my little old roadmaster cruiser.

Does your bike seem smoother? Mine felt like riding on air

 

[Hello Moto!]

It's nice and smooth yes, and hardly any vibration. I will give it that lol. I'm not gonna give up on it yet lol. You know really though aside from better casting, upgraded bolts and a 40mm intake...what's the big difference between this motor and no name engines?

The rubber in the air filter is not going to last very long so keep and eye out it is not sucking dirt in the motor. Mine was not near as forced in as yours and the rubber part of the air filter gave out quick!

Got the offset on the new engine now. It's actually almost level which I wasn't expecting. Works pretty nice. Ended up getting it from the same place I bought my first skyhawk motor.

 

[Hello Moto!]

It actually doesn't touch the frame at all.

Looks good!!! Saw the 2016 Skyhawk, run pretty good?

 

[Hello Moto!]

Yeah this one is better lol. The weird thing about the 2016 engine is that the actual manufacturing date was August 2015. It said on the box and I was like this better be the new one before I opened it. It's the new one thankfully but the tag on the motor said 8-2015.
