Re: General Five Star Speed
I own a 85 5 Star TE. I haven't done anything except gone through the steps of restoring it. Just want to get it running the way i want before i tear it appart to paint it. carb is stock Del 14:12 with 52 jet. Minarelli power plant and original exhaust. my speedo goes to 40 and when i take off the factory air filter i can go faster than the speedo.
Re: General Five Star Speed
what motor do you have in it?
Re: General Five Star Speed
Stock Minarelli 40??
More like 30-35 tops...
Re: General Five Star Speed
32-34 on the v1 with the 44 tooth rear and the 14.12 carb with a 52 jet
I have had several bikes

Re: General Five Star Speed
with the filter and air box on 35
with out the filter and air box over 40
52 jet,42 sprocket. I dont know the differences between the different V1s out there but i think i have a 2 speed where the engine fan is the small one with a part# 80.0108.0
I'm going to up jet to a 56-58 and use a K/N filter RC-1250 and see what happens.
Re: General Five Star Speed
my old CEV speedo will bury the needle past 40 when in actuality I'm only going 36...
Re: General Five Star Speed
Hmmm if you didnt know. Running without a airfilter will most likly hurt the engine. NO SUCH THING AS A 2 SPEED V1. Get a manual.

Re: General Five Star Speed
What size friont sprocket? Still find it hard to believe with a 42 rear... Yeah moped speedos are worthless, I have never used one!
