rough house 50

PostPosted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 7:23 pm    Post subject: yet another roughy owner / newb to the forum Reply with quote

all i have to say is i love my rough house. 2 months into owning it, i've got 300 miles racked up and my break in service coming up. so far i haven't had a single hiccup from that little monster.

i need some advice: i'm a bigger dude- 6' & 220lbs- the roughy gets moving just fine, and my top speed is 50 ( indicated ), but what can i do to improve off the line performance that won't violate my warranty?

lighter rollers?
better clutch?
pipe with expansion chamber?

my local dealer said they have seen some problems with performance pipes and the humid weather in these parts, but i have yet to see anything about that on this forum, as far as pipes and humidity...

i've been a 2 stroker most of my life, and i know what an expansion chambered pipe can do for performance, and my little 50 is begging for it.

i also plan on getting a new set of more road worthy tires. any ideas?

anyway...i'm glad i found this forum!

cheers!

I live in a far more humid area and have not had the first issue with my TurboKit pipe and expansion chamber.

Also Im running on Kenda K314 and I like them for street tires although they are a bit hard and not super tacky but if you are not racing these tires are great.
