If the guy has a bike not running right with a shift kit and I had my ported and polished 80, in a race I would probably win with the stock sprocket.... 37mph
Jeffrey, KC Vale is a wealth of great information and makes a very valid point, cut him slack.
KC, I am getting a great thrill out of trying to get both torque AND speed out of my single speed bike.
Eventually I will likely end up with a shifter, but this journey and experimentation has been fun.
Hey, Frankfort, I run a bunch of KTM 2 strokes.
I've run all the Japanese makes and they don't hold a candle to KTMs durability.
Would you take an unreliable machine way ta heck inta the woods?

Yep Steve, if you have the time and the tools you can play with 'em for weeks trying new things until you find works best for you bud, that's the fun part ;-}Jeffrey, KC Vale is a wealth of great information and makes a very valid point, cut him slack.

The trick is trying to find something that is fast good quality and cheap at the same timeYep Steve, if you have the time and the tools you can play with 'em for weeks trying new things until you find works best for you bud, that's the fun part ;-}
Jeffery,
This is a 6 page topic that veered way off the original topic "Bike Running Horribly" into about Speed.
Sure $200 is a lot when you start with ~$350 budget or whatever, but you can't build a new BMW with only a Used Yugo budget.
My example pics regarding speed are for those with the larger budgets that can afford something really nice.
Bragging? Hell Yes! Cool fast bikes can be built, wouldn't you brag if it was your build?
... And it's not that hard, just more expensive.
I'll leave it at that, I take time out of my day to come in here to help tohers, and yes, Brag with no shame whatsoever ;-}
It would have to be one heck of a magic trick I don't know, the words Quality and Cheap don't go together ;-}The trick is trying to find something that is fast, good quality, and cheap at the same time
