OMG! a 700cc 2-stroke DIRTBIKE? that thing Has got to be pushing 120mph, considering YZ85's do about 70.

All I can say is WHY? For some reason, I don't think that would be the most comfortable or easy to ride bike, but I bet it would haul my fat a$s to 150MPH

Try the performance kit from atvoutfitters in Greenville.,sc. It consists of a jet kit and needle, K&N air filter and a new HMF slip on muffler..Gives an average of 25% gain in horsepower and cost around 300 bucks. I ride a 04 foreman4x4 and it made a lot of difference in the torque, pulling power field. I would still love more power on top end in fifth gear, but then again, you dont use fifth gear alot around here. atvoutfitters.com and ask for matthew. Good guy to deal with. Tell him triplelstroker in Pickens sent ya! He will give you a deal!

Another way to solve your problem is to get light-weight tires such as ITP 589's.... that is if you haven't already purchased $500 worth of tires. If you haven't though, this might be something for you to think about. A jet kit, and K&N air filter along with an exhaust would be very helpful too.
