Only getting 22MPH (35KPH)

[CPC]

found an air leak on the new spark plug.....shoddy chinese paint job, so I scraped and sanded around and presto, got all my compression agine. As for the shifter kit, Im not too sure about their setup for the price....****, I could buy 2 spare engines for that price! I'm thinking of doing whit a 27 tooth sprocket, I should get 35 Mph @ 5000 RPM then, but I am unsure of the stress on my engine, I do have some hills to go up to get to the other part of town ( about 1/2 mile @ prolly 10% grade). Wish there was a was to shift between a 36 and a 27 tooth sprocket, any ideas how that could be done?

I do like the Idea of such a span of gears the shifter kit allows and the 11 tooth drive sprocket....If I did get that kit & the 11 tooth with the equivalent of a 27 tooth rear sprocket I would get 38.5 Mph @ 5000 RPM.....Ummmm wounder if I could somehow add and electric start if I got that kit....

This is my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

1) You live in Grand Junction. That's even higher in altitude then in Denver where I'm at well Northglenn actually. That's a handicap right there. Bring it down to sea level and you would be thinking you're on a different bike.
2) The fastest I have ever gone on my HT China 2 stroke whatever you want to call it also a 66cc is 23 mph and that's with a 44 tooth sprocket fully broken in running beautiful redline bla bla bla.
3) IT'S A BICYCLE MAN with ONE GEAR! Want more speeds and better pulling invest in some GEARS.
4) (this one people will differ on me with) These engines have TERRIBLE sellers from China that say WOW 35 MPH 200 MPG 80cc!!! Running these engines at WIDE OPEN THROTTLE ALL DAY LONG and SOMETHING will give out. Would you run your car in 1st gear at 50 mph in the highway all day long?
FORGET what people say about macho speeds man sorry for offending but if you want long life then cruise at under 20 mph your engine will love you really it will.
5) Do you want speed? Then get a drum brake up front and get that shift kit. Oh that's like #3 sorry. Whatever single speed you go with there's no real compromise if you want to go faster than 20 mph SAFELY. If you resign to go slower then a 44 tooth rear sprocket is the PERFECT compromise in pulling power and wind in your face just not enough to require goggles.

150 Miles is not broken-in.....give it 250 & possibly even more to reach maximum consistency.Switch to a fully synthetic oil thereafter.

This is the break in proceedure I followed:

Do this:
From Moto814

1) Assemble the engine properly and torque all fasteners to specs.

2) Start the engine with the bike on a stand and allow the engine to come up to operating temperature (top of the raidator hot to the touch). Do not allow the engine to run at one RPM at all. Constantly vary the RPM and do not allow the engine to idle. When then engine reaches operating temperature (about 3 to 5 minutes of running time), shut it off.

3) Let the engine cool completely (at LEAST one hour). You want the engine to be dead-stone cold. Longer is better.

4) Start the engine with the bike on a stand and allow the engine to come up to operating temperature (top of the raidator hot to the touch). Do not allow the engine to run at one RPM at all. Constantly vary the RPM and do not allow the engine to idle. When then engine reaches operating temperature (about 3 to 5 minutes of running time), shut it off.

5) Let the engine cool completely (at LEAST one hour). You want the engine to be dead-stone cold. Longer is better.

6) Start the engine with the bike on a stand and allow the engine to come up to operating temperature (top of the raidator hot to the touch). Do not allow the engine to run at one RPM at all. Constantly vary the RPM and do not allow the engine to idle. When then engine reaches operating temperature (about 3 to 5 minutes of running time), take the bike off the stand and put it in gear. Take it for a ride. During this ride you want to keep the engine under a load at all times. Do not coast. Do not let the bike idle. Do not allow the engine to stay at one RPM. Riding on a mild slope is fine for this, as is slightly dragging the rear brake the entire time. Do this for about 15-20 minutes. Then shut the bike off.

7) Let the engine cool completely (at LEAST one hour). You want the engine to be dead-stone cold. Longer is better.

8 ) Re-torque the head and base nuts.

9) Go ride.

The cool-down steps are crucial to this operation. You must let the engine cool completely for the break in process to work properly.

Also, do the warm up procedure I outline here before EVERY ride. Your top ends will last much longer if you do.

wowwwwwwwwwwww that's almost as intense as rocket science !!!

riding that THING with varing speeds with serveral cool off periods works fine
no WOT for a while and when we do finally -- just little shots

this seems easier to remember
plus -- doesn't take all of the fun out of -- riding that MB THING sideways !!!

 

[CPC]

much easier, faster than doing it the normal" way.....3, 4, 5 tanks of gas.... Oh no, I DO NOT think it takes one of these engines that long to break in......**** buy a new car and you only have a 500 mile break in keeping under 55 Mph.....what everyone is telling ppl is OVERKILL! these are junk engines, tolerances are not that close. Question: Do you "break in your weedwacker"? No, you dont, same engine (well almost!)

noticed that you got the CHIC Couriers THING going on there

do you have any Mountainmen working there ???

if not -- the (((((UNION FOR THE MOUNTAINMEN))))) may be a calling !!!

No mountainman, wanna move out here for a job? Make your own $$$ 50% commision rate is what I pay my couriers! Id hire you if you wanna move, maybe I could sell you a franchise......interested?

 

[Mountainman]

as long as I don't

maybe I could sell you a franchise......interested?

as long as I don't have to shave my legs
not a good look on a mountainman

true -- I did try it once
with shaved legs my MB top speed went from 22.5 to 22.7 mph
but going down this old dirt road one day
someone threw cow pies at me
as they screamed -- what pretty legs you have there MountainBOY !!!

ride that THING at 22.5
