Hi everyone, I'm looking for a few pointers on getting my minibike to its peak performance. The 212 is a hemi with billet rod, flywheel, mod2 cam, etc. and is built very well and runs great, if I had to guesstimate it has around 12hp. However, the top speed isn't quite were I expected it to be. I am having issues wrapping my head around the way gearing comes into play.
The bike is equipped with a TAV2 with blue/silver springs, aluminium weights, and the stock driven spring adjusted. It also has a 60T rear and 14" tire. With the way it is setup now it goes about 57mph in 1/8 mile, which as I've said, is not quite as fast as I would like it to be. It takes off like a mad man after the new springs but is only slightly faster than before. After watching the driven, it seems to engage at the same time as the driver; is this supposed to happen? Any other setting on the driven assembly causes the belt to melt.
Hopefully someone with much more experience than I can chime in with some tips. I plan on only taking this bike to the local track, but until I can really pull a run with the best of them, I'll keep building. I appreciate any help you may have.
