    I have lost some top speed on my Typhoon....
    I have a 70cc Corsa kit and 4.75 rollers, with Middle range clutch springs...
    I was doing around 55mph, and now my top end is 50mph...
    Everything else, acceleration, etc is great.... got only 500 miles on kit....
    Could it be the belt, rollers, or something else?
    Guess I will have to go through everything, but does anyone have any guesses?
    I have a longer Athena belt I am going to try...any other suggestions for more top end, besides an overrange kit?
    Thanks

    longer belt will not give you quicker accell all by itself.. its only when needed (re spacing the variator) you may need a longer belt or if one of the pulleys is bigger.

    id be checking the rollers, if there worn try some decent branded rollers.

    What do you think of BGM rollers? That's what I have been using....
    Should I go up in weight with my rollers for more top end?
    I am wondering if I went too light with them.....

    I recon you should go for 5 or 5.5 malossi or polini rollers :pimp:
