Default tm 45

Whats up everyone!! Its been quite some time since Ive been on the forums..but Im back lol Few questions. Im running a tm45, and I had to tune this thing myself. I've got it pretty close to being correct, I think, however, I feel like the top end just isnt there. I may be burning a little rich. I'm going to crack the carb open here in a bit and get some new plugs. Let me know what you all think. I'd like to be able to go 90mph~ish. I'm sure I will need to change my stock sprocket ratio, but thats fine. Does anyone think I should take my quad to a quad shop and let them tune it? Last time I had something done, they had no idea what they were doing..and charged me a **** ton. let me know guys!!

Basically the bike tops out at around 65? and it seems like most of the power is towards the bottom end...like 2500-4500rpm...little puzzeled. the spark plugs didnt help too much

Go to the how to do post here and download the TM manual, it has a good tuning guide in it.
