Honda 200X with 200M top speed about 35-40??

[CodyRosa]

Ok so recently I put my 200M motor in my 200X frame. When the 200M motor was in its original frame I could hit 46 tops. The gearing was 11, 47 I believe with 22x11x8 rear tires. The wheeler also weighed more I think. Now that I swapped motors I can only hit 35-40 maybe even less. I hit top speed by 4th gear. My gearing is 12, 37 I think to. My wheels are 22's but look like 18's when standing next to the 200M tires I had on(the 22x11x8) and these are like 10 inches wide instead of 8. Now If I put bigger tires would I go faster? Or do I need to change up my gearing?? I'm also wondering if its because im on a snowy/icy road.. because with this setup I spin this tires to much so im wondering if I went on say a tar road with no ice/snow if I would go faster.

Sorry if I was all over the place haha hope i got my point across

Thanks everyone!,

it believe it should hit top speed in 5th gear .. is the clutches slipping ?

[CodyRosa]

Nope not at all. Everything is fine there. I'm thinking the tires are to small or something. That or there just spinning that much. I have yet to try it on tar or any road that's solid with no ice or snow. It was quicker before with my gearing setup 11/47 and 22 inch tires.. and now I have 12/37 with 22 inch tires BUT they are smaller when put next to each other. There more of the square type and my other ones are donuts so there a bit taller.

with the huge difference in gear ratios it should fly... why dont you use 5th gear ???????

[CodyRosa]

Well I do use 5th gear but the difference in speed from 4th to 5th is like 2mph lol. I think what it is, is the fact that my machine spins these tires like nothing that on these roads maybe its not getting traction? Like I said I have not tried it on a road with NO ice or snow yet.. so im thinking/hoping traction. How fast do you think I should be getting? 50? 55? I mean it was getting 46 before.

My 84 200M does 45, but it slips and needs to be rebuilt. Haha.

Ok well if what im hearing about trail pros is true lol maybe that's why I cant reach my top speed haha. I got trailpros on the back. I'm going to swap for my dunlop tomorrow and see if theres a difference.
