Breadsnapper Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Think they're only 9 bhp so if you're a big lad they will struggle. Took the egr off the Lexmoto I had and it made a world of difference.Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biglesbo Posted August 30, 2019 Author Share Posted August 30, 2019 Max KMH 105 kphMax Power (13.7 hp) 10.2bhp (7.6kW) @ 8500rpm--------------------didnt expect 65 mph However seems strange its as fast going up a 1 mile reasonably steep hill as it is on the flat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Someone might have put a bigger rear sprocket on it . Or , and I hate to say this , it might be clapped out . It's a 125 so I doubt anyone would have restricted it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastbob Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I once had 75 ( indicated ) out of a 1976 CG 125 on level ground with my weight at around 17 stone . I think the very early ones had a bigger carb . If memory serves, the engine was a hybrid that I knocked up from a Brazilian bottom end and a Japanese top end with a fresh rebore . It crackled and popped a bit at slower speeds but was surprisingly quick when I opened it up . So to return to the OP , I think 40 mph is a bit weak by any standards .

James in Brum Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 I had 74 indicated out of my Lexmoto Falcon a few times but it was into the red and good conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
