It also has a 17/43 chain conversion. On US 70, on the flats, Me (220 lbs.) and passenger (140 lbs.) hit 1oo mph as indicated by my Savage speedo. I dunno if that's accurate that high, but it tipped over to three digits.
Just for the sake of discussion, a K&N pod is as good as an open carb. I'm just not sucking in June bugs. The Raask exhaust is an 1 1/2" straight through. Only difference is a little packing for sound. It's a shot gun with a silencer
My exhaust port has also been opened up 2.5 MM...
...I recently tried a 157.5 and got small amounts of black smoke and soot, plus the plug was blackened. So I changed it back to a 155. The 162 is 3 sizes above that and I was just suggesting that if you aren't running clean then you are just wasting gas.
K&N pod...
Stock exhaust port...
My exhaust port...
My exhaust pipe...
I also forgot to mention that I'm running this little cutie that I got from Lancer...
I just haven't (and probably won't) try to find the top speed with my 45/17 chain conversion either. I don't want to look like I stole it
