Max Governed RPM on a stock DB30

#1
Just curious what the max rpm is on the little 97cc is with it governed. I'm trying to plug some stats into the go-kart racing calculator to see what kind of differences it makes with different tooth counts at the motor and the rear wheel.

So far I got 11 tooth engine gear, 70 tooth axle gear, and about a 45 inch diameter tire (stock tires). Now all I need to know is the RPM, I cannot find any information about it on Baja's website.

According to how fast it feels at wide open throttle and full speed (feels like about 25mph, running premium with the muffler removed), that would be in the near 3500 rpm range, does that sound right?

Ahh I see.. I was thinking about hooking up a tach to it to find out, but that helps. Thanks a lot, I guess it's just common knowledge that I didn't know.

Unless you have a mile of clear road that thing will never see 3600rpms underway unless you get hit from behind or struck by lightning and catapulted forward! LOL
