Top Speed of your Doodle Bug

[1337chris]

I have a baja racer same thing as doodle bug (it has the same engine at least).I was wondering what everyones top speed is? With few modifications i can hit anywhere from 29-32 according to my gps.

 

[Strigoi]

i've been 43-44 on mine when it had the 6.5.

I'm assuming you mean in stock condition?..We had ours doing about 30mph with the governor bypassed.

 

[mhornfeck72205]

w/ my modded clone, 58mph.

 

[1337chris]

yea i was talking about stock 2.8 only thing i did was adjust the governor not bypass it, and bored out the main jet in the carb.

 

[mhornfeck72205]

I hit 49mph on my stock 2.5hp + straight pipe and no air filter, but it was down hill with my 110lb friend. haha..

 

[krakerjak]

i did 23mph according to gps on my 2.8 the more you break it in the faster it'll go

 

[leathernun666]

I got mine over 50mph says the gps with a honda gx160

what kind of mods do you have? 50+ should be 7000+ rpm. just asking since the engine looks relatively stock from the outside.

My 6yo daughter goes about 20-25mph on flat ground. With my 225# ass on it I could'nt hit 25mph if a car hit me from behind! I will be putting on the performance jackshaft kit shown on this page as her confidence grows, she says it's slow now but 25mph is enough for now!

how do you do that (bypass the governor)? could you post pics and instructions(no videos i have dial-up):bowdown:.http://www.oldminibikes.com/forum/images/smilies/bowdown.gif

 

[tin solider3]

I went 28 MPH on my stock 2.8 and 32 MPH on my stock 6.5.
Haha I thought there was a thread about this like a few days ago???

 

[dodgeneonparts]

I have the 6.5 clone from HF and a comet clutch. Had it going 41 max on the road with tires inflated to 22 psi.:thumbsup:

 

[mmisterbungl]

I did about 4mph when i unloaded it from craigslist buy. That was the last time I pulled the pullstart.

 

[db30-beast]

just did the first oil change fill her up with royal purple got her doing 32mph stock 2.8 throttle stop screw almost out im 170lb too so not bad for 2.8 i guess but how do u bypass the governor ?

 

[Dudlydoodleright]

Don't bypass it-reset it! The spring that is at the bottom of the linkage- it runs from the part the cable attaches to- to the governor shaft. Put the spring on each end to the upper hole in the governor shaft and the upper hole in the throttle linkage--but wait till you've run the motor 5 hours or more so it's good and broke in first.

 

[mr.modified]

Not to be a jerk, but it's not rocket science to by-pass the gov. Just look at the linkages while you move the throttle and you can figure it out.

 

[db30-beast]

alright thank you ya i do gotta give her more rideing time till i do that

 

[db30-beast]

:grind:ya i kno its not rocket science im new to mini bikes and only kno so much so far but im on here pretty much every other day trying to learn and havent see how to's on the 2.8 since everybody is pretty much 6.5
