Hey everyone, so i built my bike maybe 3 months ago and have been having a lot of fun but u have a strange issue. i can get my bike to cruse comfortably around 30 - 35 kph ( so around 18 - 22 ) but every once and a while my bike will hit its "sweet spot" and accelerate really smoothly to close to 40kph but shortly after bogs down to its old ways and goes around 30ish. now according to my parents this is fast enough... but not for me,i want to go faster and maybe be able to cruise at this speed but im not sure what's happening or how to make it run that smooth consistently.
some things ive done to the bike {
new head ghasket (blew the other one when i didnt tighten the head bolts down enough... oops)
new cdi and magneto coil (came dead out of box)
}
so thats about it for things ive changed. i havent really played with the carb yet but maybe thats worth a shot. another thing ive been noticing is when i rev the bike it takes a while for the rps to go down.
ive been running 20:1 for my first 3 tanks (i just learned it should be higher even during break in but my next tank will be 36:1) and the bike seems pretty broken in
