Well since I noticd my rpms being low I tried 9.5 gram weights and got my rpms back to nomal . Long story short I guess my promise didn't hold up and alley was right about the rd being on a decline because I took it for a ride since there are no other runs with such a small decline with radar and I got my rpms to hit 7900 this time and 73mph . I've always claimed 67 mph gps on a straight run and that is a fact . Now the video is from about an hour ago at night . I apologize for the vid it sucks but u can see the radar sign hit 73 . So with this decline I gained 6 mph from my gps straight run . I no some won't look at this as proof but you can see the decline in the video " it's not some big hill" it looks more like a straight run in person . Again I apologize for the quality but I had to post this . I will post a daytime run again soon . Thanks.

Just incase u miss the 73 it flashes right before the 72 mph just like in the 68 mph vid it flashed 68 then 67 . Here it is

Motors like cool air and they make more power when cool. So running at night your motor will produce more power. Running during the daytime and if it is warm out the motor will not make as much power.
Next time you run down that road again during the daytime also Video what your SPEEDO reads when you hit the Radar Speed sign to see how far off the speedo is reading.
Making a run down a road that declines all the way you an easly pick up 10mph or more depending on the length of the declining road. It doesn't take much of a decline to pick up extra speed the weight is making it roll faster and keeps on picking up speed as it keeps going down. Honestly, I would say you have a scoot that will do an honest 60mph on a flat road with no wind. Alleyoop

I didn't think daytime or night time mattered ? Hills matter but now it's "nighttime dosent count " lol . And yes I am going to post a new daytime vid . Also 10 mph from a decline like that will not happen . Maybe a mile long very steep hill . I gained 6 mph from this decline . I was only expecting a 3 mph gain .

I still never ordered a speedo cable since it broke over a month ago . " not sure if u remember when I posted my speedo cable broke awhile back " But I will try to get the gauge cluster it the pic for the rpms .Oh yeah I was also crouching over does that count ? Lol . Many are able to hit a little over 60 mph with a new exhaust , uni , new cdi and coil and removing the emissions and tuning the cvt . So it's not hard to imagine upping my bore , installing a bigger racing head with bigger ports , bigger manifold , I'm throwing much more air and fuel thru the engine with a 32mm pumper carb , and installed taller gears . There should be no doubt it can hit 67mph . Next thing is to come see for yourself

Yes, day and night make a big difference on how a motor runs, at night the air cools and motors make more power with cool air. Any mechanic worth a grain of salt will also tell you that. So you just learned something that you did not know which is a good thing. Let me ask what do you believe your displacement is with your mods over the Stock 149.6 cc motor? No doubt it can hit 67 yes and it did you proved that BUT and here is the big BUT going down the hill it did Now we learn no speedo cable things are just going more down hill. Korn858, And If get on the back it will do 45 and I am only 180lbs

Just to confirm what alley is saying about downhill improvement, I gain 5mph on my top end just going down a bridge I cross by my work, and can then maintain it for about a mile till the next light on flat ground (assuming no head wind). If I have to stop for that light, I then get back up to my normal top speed, minus the extra 5mph I got from the bridge boost.
(Note- my top speed is about 45mph with all the mods on my 139qmb, but going down that bridge, I hit 50 and stay around 48-50 on the flats afterwards)

I don't think you understood what I meant . Is Said hills matter meaning they don't count for a top run I agree . And yes night and day matter in performance " depending on the humidity and temp" but what I meant was the excuse that it dosent count because its night time " a little after 9 pm " . I can tell your surprised it hit 73 mph down that small decline of a hill . Your the one that made the 10 mph pickup downhill and the nighttime excuse . Trust me I didn't expect that you would except it because it is still a " down hill run " but most of us know that these scoots will not pick up 10 mph on a small decline like that . So most knowing that , will atleast see that my scoot more than likely will hit 67 on a straight run . The problem is that even if they move one of these radar signs or put one up on a perfectly straight run I'll more than likely hear a new excuse why it dosent count . No need to get ignorant about this " the whole any mechanic worth his salt , u learned something new " . I know u just miss understood me but still , ease up a little . No need to get that way . I'm having a blast makin these runs .

Kinda makes you wonder if the radar signs are calibrated a few mph high, just to get you to slow down!

I agree 5 mph is possible I just did 6 mph , but how many times have you gained 10 mph on a small decline . You didn't confirm what he said .

I'm sure the bridge you cross is no steeper then this decline . I'm sure you know that when they build bridges they tend to make them level . " at least where I live .

I wish this bridge was level, I spent 5 years riding a bicycle over it!
Regardless, I look forward to more of your attempts at pushing your top speed, safely!

Thanks jerry . I hate having to prove things on here , a lot of the things u say tend to sound like your bein an a-s . I don't want u to get that Idea . The only thing I have noticed with the signs is that no matter what vehicle in in it tends it be a mile per hour slower then what the speedo says . " that is in a car . With the scoot it's been right on . Not sure why that is ? Anyway I have hit 67 on a straight run and if I knew it was a sin to tell the truth I would have kept my mouth shut . LOL

Thats kind of what the night does. All depends on the quality and temp of the air. Sometimes its about just about as hot at night as it is a day, sometimes its a winter summer difference. If I were you, I would stop trying to prove something in which your obviously confident about to people online, and worry more about tickets and safety. Not all speed traps have camera's. Some are simply to see if they need to regulate the area better and alert you of your speed, so in essence you could be bringing more attention to the area.
