ive had the bike for about 2 months and within that first week of having it, it was fine then about 2 weeks after, it started to lose power, and no havnt done anything to the bike except clean it :)

but i was clocked at 65 in my dads car but my spedo said 55 so it might just be the spedos wrong but im not sure

Hi Leigh,

if the bike has not been serviced it may require one .... 2 stroke motors tend to build up carbon within the exhaust system which tends to restrict them, can you 'red line' the bike in the gears above third ? If not this would indicate a carbon build up. The speedo error you have is quite great and it may be worth checking this out also (assuming the old man's car's clock is correct !

no i cant red line it above 3rd gear , maybe best to get it serviced because first thing in the morning it smokes so much untill its warmed up properly

thanks for the help :)
