Benelli K2 100cc Acceleration & Top Speed Issues
Hi, I'm new to this forum and I hope that someone could help me out with an issue I'm having.
I have a Benelli K2 100 (2 Stroke), It's all standard apart from a Endy Performance exhaust and 5G rollers (Rollers are near new). The problem I have found is that from a stand still it will have great acceleration up until about 40mph, then it drops off and at 50mph it sounds like it's going to blow up! I have achieved a top speed of 55mph on a good day, but have read posts saying that the top speed should be between 60-70mph (In a stock form). I am also a light rider, weighing 9 stone (126 Pounds). Does the 60-70mph seem a bit to ambitious? The other issue is that if I take the bike down to 10mph or so then try to accelerate full throttle (Or any position), the acceleration is not as good as it is from a stand still. It's like the RPM's rise slowly and are not as high. Also, from a stand still it pulls a little slow up to about 5 mph then shoots off, the RPM's then drop a little at 20. The bike has 5100 miles on it, from new. Air-Filter is clean, and plug is near new. Drive belt is fine and looks OK. Any advice? Or is this completely normal? Thanks. |

Nope, when I bought the bike it had an Arrow exhaust on with a bigger chamber then mine. I dont know if that exhaust was from stock or put on by prev owner. If so, then I guess it was set up to that so I didn't think there would be any need to re-jet as the endy would be roughly the same. I had to remove the arrow exhaust though because the top part of the pipe that bolts onto manifold was non-existent..
I'll look into the Jetting though, Thanks for the reply. Last edited by Snek; 09-02-2013 at 02:58 PM. |
