That seems a little low for top speed. I have hit 53 and some others posted similar mph. How many hours/miles are on it?

Larger tires will make acceleration slower due to final gear ratio changing. I would rather have more power dow low and mid range but that is just me.

To answer your question though, I have not changed tires yet. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

with the K&N air filter I brought mine up about 2 mph top speed.

Hey bud where are you at now top speed wise after the EPI kit and filter? The weather has been awful and I have not tested mine after I installed the clutch. I don't want to go screamin down the road to test to speed. The neighbors would love me. LOL

Well now that I have my problem fixed from the first install of the clutch(stupid mistake) I should be able to get an accurate top speed, but I am down to about 48-49 mph after the filter and the clutch kit, the clutch brought me down to about 46-47 mph then with the filter back up to 48-49 mph, when I have the money I am going to get a gytr exhaust, I already have my jet kit ordered but I wont install it until I get my exhaust on (no need to do it twice)
