Really racing gas isn't that much more now adays. I run a 50/50 mix in all my bikes of 87 and 110 racing fuel,.mainly for the smell[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
87= $3.79
110=$5.99

 

I picked my son up from pre-school today and we installed the new 48 tooth sprocket. The bike definitely has more pulling power but I'd still like a little more. There are still slopes that are safe for my son to drive straight up and down on that the bike will not start on under it's own power. If it's moving even a little there is no problem. I have to say they are pretty steep slopes. We have an area that has gullies with 24" climb outs. I want the bike to be able to nose up to them and power up and out. We're almost there. I might pull three rollers this afternoon.

Here's some pictures of the 37 tooth, the 43 tooth and the 48 tooth laying in a stack for comparison. There's also a photo of the ground clearance with the 48 tooth installed. And a few others of my kid wrenching on his bike. That's what it's really all about!

 

I found that the 48 tooth sprocket hits the CT pipe on hard landings...left some nice dents in mine...

You will actually make less power running more octane than you need. Remember the higher the octane the slower the burn. Race gas is designed to avoid detonation, not make more power by itself. EagerJeeper is right in that you only need to run enough octane as to not have any signs of detonation. Any octane above that your not only throwing away $$ but your probably loosing power.

 

I know this a little off topic but since there are a lot of LTZ50 owners here I have to ask.... Has anyone installed a headlight and/or tail light on one of these?

 

hey EagerJeeper some nice pics couldnt agree more about the kids wrenching and seeing their results on hold right now
with our cycle shop checking on a.015 shave and gask. 22.5pilot 80main jet they must be busy or forgot about me

 

There's nothing like seeing your kid smile from ear to ear.... [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
Nice pix

I thought about running a light in there but been kinda lazy I guess,.... that would have been so kool [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img] though if it came like that' I thought it did at first... if you decide to do it now I would suggest running it on a separate switch so that it's not on all the time...

 

can someone out there set me straight just got off phone w/cycle shop was informed stock main jet is a 125. pilot they didnt know and why not just get .015 thinner head gask. they farm out their milling work ?????????
