top speed with af05e

[mmeadows]

what kind of top speed have you guys seen with the malossi bbk and leovince pipe on the af05e? my carb it an aero 80 carb and the engine block is ported at the intake. stock gears.

[Trafficjamz]

depends on what gears you find for it.

My friend built a af05 that cruised around at about 50-60mph with 9:1: gears.

[mmeadows]

how about stock gears? i know taller gears give you a better top speed but i dont want to crawl away from red lights

with a dio gear swap and 9:1 gears take off wont suffer that much

Greetings:

Look up Flash 2, circa early 2009. With the Malossi gears and a 24mm carb, I got 58 point-something on the GPS. OK, that was downwind, a little, but still...
On a couple of cold days with a long run, I'm certain I broke the 60 MPH mark. Alas, I cannot confirm as I wasn't carrying Garmin-Girl.

The bad part of 7.83:1 primaries is the zero to eight MPH take-off. Painfully slow until the clutch engages and speeds are high enough for the engine to sing. The Malossi/LeoVince combination topped out at 9200 or so, and was on the downside of its powerband even then.

Best speed I ever got out of mine was 53.

[paulpauly7]

same here best i got was 53mph on stock 11:1 gears and 3.00 10 tyre

If your talking about the nb50 engine my fastest time 26 yrs ago was 58mph, now i can it to go over 60 mph, just simple updates.

[Kevinstonge]

Maddog, care to share your setup on that af05 that did 58? And what updates do you speak of?

[maddog]

you can now get a 19mm polini intake adaptor with carb, with the leo vinchi pipe you will have to cut out the restrictor, i have the last of the malossi 8:7:1 gears...
