Finally, a nice day in N.E. Pa.!
Took my," Utility Bike", ( name for my bike) out to run some errands, test ride.
So far, K&N style air filter, with snorkel to breath easy,( least it SOUNDS kinda like a bike now)!
1 tooth smaller front sprocket, tightened up the gearing well.
Top speed was 59 mph,( although radar speed signs I run past says my Speedo is off by 3 mph, so 59 is really 56)??!!
Where I live, you either are going UP a hill or DOWN!
It was either close to red line, or about to bog down, depending on gear on these hills!!
Most hills 30-35 mph, which I can live with. Most of these roads speed limit us 35-45 mph.
I kept searching for another gear on flat ground, damn 4 speed!
Over all, it ran like I thought, pulled hills OK.
One wonders what a performance exhaust will do for it??
