    probably over stressed clutch springs worn belt and no gear up.. they dont go any faster witout a gear up. FACT.

    12.5's are RARELYL right in a wc engine, especially one wiht no gear up. anything from 13 up to 15.5 usually... (heavier without the gearup with pm 55's an stuff)

    but ye, new clutch springs, up the roller weight and stop dreaming. there quoted as 70mph top speed. this wont change with more power, need longer gears. your already in the overrun to get real 80mph (overrun is when you get to the top of the gearing and push the engine higher into the revs to go any faster)

    the boy? meaning your quoting the parts youve been told befor buying the bike.. id personally take the thing apart and SEE if its got a gear up... blue springs in a stock 125 clutch work fine.

    in wich case its 180 gears with a gear up.... you basicly cant pull the top end. swap out the primary with a 125... 180 with a gearup mean 110mph plus gearing.. nobody is gonna have that power... long gears mean poor acceleration and top end you cant reach.. menaing your wasting power trying to pull speeds you cant. gear it for 100 (125 gears) will pull right then
