slugworth1987 Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 hello allmy bike (Suzuki EN 125-2A) is stuck at 95KPH acording to my book but i can get it to 120kph when on the A1 down hill but on a normal road its hard work lol now on my test i need to be able to do 100kph.so the question come into play.. what shall i do to give me this little bit more on my 4stroke 125cc.on my todo list is:sort rubbing front break outsort out electrical problem on back light by chaning the - earth wire...fix 1st gear indicator lightclean out exhaust system...buy a K&N filter? or will that make more noise than power?i only have a 5 speed gear box and a CDI unit so i cant tune or remap the engine in anyway that i know of.if anyone has any ideas to make this bke faster please tell me its just for my test then it will be meeting the suzuki dealership for a newer bigger bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Can I ask...why do u have to do 100kph on your test?? I didnt go more than 40mph (dual carriageway in hull).. I thought u only had to do faster riding for your DAS?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slugworth1987 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 Minimum test vehicle requirements for motorcyclesIf your motorcycle is less than 75 cc it is not acceptable for the practical motorcycle test.

Bill_on_a_bike Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 I can't imagine the examinor saying "yeah good job, pleased to say you've passed.......hold on..........lemme borrow that bike.........oh sorry mate i couldn't get it above 95, you fail"But yeah, i'd hire one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 i would hire a bike the examiner should be up to date with his bikes and know which bikes are ok for test from the factory they only go for factory specs and if its not as factory your insurance will be void unless you state what modifications you have done to get the extra ooompphhh and with a void insurance you cant do your test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
