[QUOTE="Deoodles, post: 200560, member: 8270"] That’s a lot to take in. My KO 140 top speed is 63. So far the Grom top speed is 64. My 124 build CT70 is 69. None are at 70 but that’s a good target. Roads In our area are mostly 55 mph if your going anywhere. The problem is folks do 65, not everyone but the idiots I’m worried about do. The Monkey is the slowest of the bunch and has nothing left if I get to 55 whereas the rest have a small bit left. That keeps me worried about being run over. I will spot a driveway or side street and pull in to let cars go by but I may need to wait a mile or two. I don’t think the monkey is held up by tires or tire size that can be accounted for with gears. I think Honda was way too conservative on A/F ratios, timing, and the rev limiter. All of those reside in the ecm. I have reached out to a tuner to see if it can be re mapped to perform at the same level or higher than the Grom. It is after all the same motor. Btw my 2020 monkey would pull 57 in 3rd and maybe 62 in 4th but that had some grunt behind it. The 22 has none. It’s there and untapped imo [/QUOTE]
