I've been riding my new bike build now for about a month with minor adjusting here and there but nothing major. I paid $140.00 for the kit, $100.00 for bike, $70.00 for upgraded carb, $50.00 for upgraded heavy duty back wheel, tire and innertube. I know little about motors and am wondering a few things. I recently got the new high performance carb "with jets" to replace the stock China "80cc/66cc" carb but it seems I am going a tad bit slower than with the stock carb especially, on take off. Not much slower but the bike has a max speed of approx 22mph which ends up about the same from the stock carb. I weigh about 265 and the bag I carry usually weighs 15-20 extra pounds.I thought the new carb it might increase the speed alittle as well as help with consistent fuel air flow but thats how much I know about this stuff.... On flat road I max 21-22mph and can go 19-20 smoothly on longer distances.... I thought id be able to reach 30 but I was wrong. Climbing is a task at about 8-9mph max and struggling. I am wondering what the best thing to do for that is. I was told something needs to be "bored?" but I do not know how or haven't looked into what that complete process consists of. I was hoping someone could shed some light on the subect. A specialist that fixed my bike a couple times that is about 40 miles away said if I put about $150.00 into it, theres a few upgrades that they can do to definitely increase the speed a bit so I figured I would try and do it on my own. My speed goal for this bike is 30+
Another question I have is; I was thinking of starting a 2nd build with a harbor freight motor but does anyone sell a package kit for the rest of the parts needed without the motor for one of those motors?
Lastly, whats the best thing for the heavy duty motor chain for cleaning and keeping lubricated?
Thanks for reading and check out my first motorized bike below I just cleaned er up yesterday. (Purchased from boygofast on ebay. Great seller!)
onward and upward!
