top speed

So I experimented with various rear sprockets from 50 down to 46, and settled on the 46. Its not that it gave a higher top speed, its just that it gave the same top speed, with less revs.

All winter my top speed has been about 62 MPH. I recently removed my hand guards, and while I was at it, I removed the fake radiator scoops from my TT250. OMG, the bike pulled so hard through 55 on up and easily pulled to 67 MPH before I ran out of room (it did start to give me some front end vagueness). I never liked those air scoops. I'm not some Shanghai teenager who is trying to trick my friends into thinking I have a water cooled dirt bike. Needless to say, they are never going back on...
