![]() More good news to report! The rear shock seems to be softening up nicely... I mean a HUGE improvement! Also, after a few wheelies I was able to get a measurement of front fork travel by checking the oil ring on the fork tubes. A full 6.5 inches of travel and no bottoming! The engine continues to amaze everyone that rides it.

17 tooth
I also purchased a Hensim 250 from Tim recently after reading your review. I got it all put together and it rides great. Only thing that I don't like is the fact that I have trouble getting it above 60mph. It said 75+ mph on his specs depending on the weight of the rider.... I weigh 145. So, I'm a little disappointed there. My 200cc Lifanoid that I recently sold got up to 62 mph. Anyway, not a huge deal. I guess my question to you would be; when purchasing a 17 tooth sprocket from ebay, do I need one for a 420 or a 428 chain? I would really like to gain some highway speed. I took it for a ride on some forest service roads here in So. ILL and had a blast. If you could help me out here it would be much appreciated!

I would suggest getting the 428. Typically the 420 is used on the pit bikes.
Also what size sprockets did it come with? Does it have a 15T on the front? 15 to 17 may be all you need to see closer to 70mph. Allen

anyone with the 17 tooth sprocket able to chime in on the max speed of their bikes now? Curious to see how much of a difference it really makes, also are the carbs tuned? any other peformance possibilities?

After putting on the 17 tooth front sprocket I noticed a big difference in top speed and first gear becomes a little more useful too
![]() As for other mods. The only other things I did to the engine was put on an inline fuel filter and I replaced the air box with a uni-filter. I am quite pleased with the way both of those turned out. The stock carb seems pretty good. Cheers! |

You will need to verify the mounting holes, but this link should be useful.
The sprocket from a honda xl185 fit my bike. Showing a 49 and 50T available. http://www.bikebandit.com/1980-honda...4?mg=41391&t=1 |

The 45-46T would be good for road and you could swap the 15t back on if you plan to ride off-road. That will gear you back down.
