volksrod68 Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 i have a 1998 dragstar classic 650..i have made it into a bobber style and love it...but it won,t go over 60 mph it just stays at 6o as anyone else had this problem.... cheers paul..
Ttaskmaster Posted February 9, 2010 Posted February 9, 2010 No I haven't. It should top out around 92mph. Have you had it serviced recently?

Have you had it serviced recently? no i havn,t had it serviced, ive just bought it so i don,t know its history either..allthough the tax disc ran out a year ago...so maybe could be bad fuel sitting in the carb for a year...
Ttaskmaster Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Step 1: Get it fully serviced. Have your guys look over it completely, checking everything. Drain and replace all the fluids - Brake, fuel, oil sump, final drive etc. Replace filters and spark plugs, too. Check tuning, grease all the greasy bits - The whole sha-bang!! Once she's all checked out, then we start seeing if she has a real problem!!
Shep639 Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Just a thought.............it hasn't got 33bhp restriction has it?
clarke Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 Could be, but my XVS1300 has a 33bhp restriction on it (until May this year!) and it'll do 80mph with me + the missus on it so I imagine the 650 would get above 60mph (assuming it's done right). Even my XVS125 with its 13bhp gets up to 60mph. I guess if its getting a full service they could check out any restrictions while they're at it...
Ttaskmaster Posted February 11, 2010 Posted February 11, 2010 The 650s will do 90 with a restriction kit on.... Trust me
