Top speed?

joeyo25 · 06-05-2008, 04:19 PM

OK, so I got the new Hi-Bird GY200 up to about 55 MPH yesterday. I think I still had a little power left, but not much...and boy was she screaming! What speed should I expect from her given that I tip the scales @~225lbs.

I have a 46 tooth rear sprocket, is that where I should be looking to get more top-end speed? What do you guys suggest?

Also, I've got this annoying "rattle" that I can't for the life of me figure out where it comes from. Is it just the push-rod engine, or is there more to it? It seems to fade in & out @ different RPM's.

Thanks guys,
