Today, it rocketed up past 90 kph and at full throttle it reached and levelled at 120 kph. I had a couple of passes and 120 kph was the limit (maybe 122 kph but the dial may be a little fuzzy). W ill need to compare to a GPS but the relative speed has increased by 30% (just as I joked). The acceleration is much better up hills now as the accelerator pump is coming into play on the carb where before it didn’t

It will be interesting to see the comparison between indicated and GPS-measured speeds. My speedo is pretty optimistic at low speeds and gets less inaccurate with increasing speed. At 100 km/h (actual) the speedo indicates ~110 km/h. I know the manual indicates max speed of 72 mph (~115 km/h), but given how loud things get at 100 km/h I wouldn’t really want to push that limit). It seems happiest cruising at around 90 km/h.

Anyone know offhand engine RPM at 72 mph for stock gearing and tires?
