Baggy loss of speed

Postby scholsey » Wed Aug 27, 2008 8:08 am

Hi, I have recently fitted a Scorpion race end can and link pipe to my 04 Baggy .... looks a million times better and sounds cool !!!1 only problem is I have noticed that it does not seem to rev as much at the top end as it did with the standard pipe. I have just fitted a DB Killer that seems to have helped a little I guess adding a bit more back pressure but it still struggles to hit the top revs.

With the standard pipe hitting the rev limiter in most gears was no problem and 100mph came up very quick !!!! now it struggles a little after the 85-90mph area but is quicker of the mark .

Does anyone have an idea of what I need to do to improve this very small problem ?

i stopped trying to get my rt125 to go faster-----
seemed like every thing i did made it slower
and/or made gas mileage worse

the Saxon Tour already goes faster than the chassis is really fit for
