Weak engine?

#1 PostAuthor: Kari » Sun Sep 20, 2009 10:15 am

Has now for the first time gave full with my Z1A and judge my surprise. It only makes 190 km / h: shock:
Expect that it will make at least 210 km / h when I have 1000cc engine. Perhaps it is too thin? Has the early version carburetors, Mikuni 28mm with 117.5 main jet. Other mounting is standard on 900cc. Original air filter. Jet needle in the middle track. Standard front and rear drive.

Tips and advice received warmly.

The needle of the rev counter jumps a bit but I would think it was at around 7500 rpm.
