125cc Fully Automatic Honda Clone - Page 2

Ok I have my new engine installed and wow the difference in power from the original 49cc semi automatic is just crazy. I can't believe the entire engine is just held in place to the bike frame with 2 skinny cheap 6" bolts with no kind of reinforcement in the frame or motor mount of any kind. Oh well if its been working for Honda since the 1960's it will probably continue to work for me.

So here is my only complaint. As I feared in prior postings the fully automatic engine would be too 'torqueeeee' and that fear has come true. It would be great if this was a dirt bike but its a simple street Honda Cub clone made to ride easy. I don't know how fast it will go yet but at 35mph the engine is really screaming but still has lots of power left. So I guess I need to mess with the sprockets. The front sprocket is a real simple change out. It is currently a 14 tooth. Do I need to go up or down to make the bike not work so hard? I still need enough torque to get me away from street lights with the traffic but I want it to be able to cruise 35-40 much easier. I will have to deal with the back sprocket if changing out the front doesn't give me the desired affect. Thanks for the help.
