  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Just changed my sprocket to a 48 tooth still can't get over 50 mph without working the engine hard. Any suggestions?
 
What exhaust are you running? If it's the big heavy catalytic muffler, it may be choked off.

I can get 60mph with a 14 tooth front sprocket & 50 rear, working hard by 50mph as you say (Standard is 15/51 & should be fairly comfortable at 60)
 
Stock exhaust race map 2 and o2 sensor pluged. Runing 15 48 gearing now still Dosnt want to go over 60mph. Spedo is correct also. May be it has something to do with the 2014 model ecu?
 
Must be because bone stock I've had my 11 wrapped around to at least 78. Not even sure what it does with a better pipe and tuner. These days I'm going fast in just the dirt, and No way am I looking for the speed then. Still running stock gears.
 
I have the exact same bike, and I can easily hit 70+mph and the bike doesn't seem to care much. Other than the horrible wobbles from the knobbies, its fine.

Stock except for Race Map 2 jumper. Stock gearing too.
 
Just asking, yours is a TE isn't it, with six gears, not a TC with lights on it (only 5 gears)??

The gearing on the bikes is very short (close ratio, but still should pull way more than that)
I've never tun my Lafranconi pipe, only the Akrapovic muffler, but I would have thought you'd rev out in top still.
 
Dosnt go over 50 mph

On 6th gear, full throttle???
I run (14/53 ratio) 120+km/h sometimes. Revs is high, but no problem. This is dirt bike, not chopper. Kymco 449 engine loves high revs. 15/51 or 15/48 ratio for street use will be OK! 140+km/h is real with DS tyres (Conti TKC80 for example).
 
6th gear mid to high rpm topping at 53 mph. I'm runing motorex cross power 5 40. Looks like another service apointment bikes been a little dispointing since day 1
 
So bike won't rev any harder than 53MPH, in 6th gear at full throttle, and front sprocket is a standard 15 tooth.

Not normal, definitely get it looked at.
 
I've had my stock geared TE449 over 90 mph, only did it once and that was enough for me on knobbies! I do have a power commander and open/FMF exhaust though. Mine doesn't feel like the engine is really working until 60-65 mph. Anything over that and it is buzzing pretty good but can still manage 65-70 mph for short trips on back roads. Your stock exhaust could be severely holding back your engine. There's definitely something going on if you can't get over 60 mph.
 
I know I have a 511 but cant imagine there would be that much difference between it and a 449 at high speeds. I run stock gearing, and take it to 150kph all the time easily. I weigh 100kgs as well. My mate (70kgs) can get another 10kph out of it but after that it gets a bit wobbly.
I reckon there is something wrong with your bike mate.
 
I have a TXC 449 and a TE449; speeds are from GPS and I never rode either bike stock as they both came with the Akro can and jumper plug fitted:

2011 TXC 449 - Race Map 2, fitted with supplied Akro can and JD Jetting tuner, TC Airbox Lid, 51 tooth rear: 13 tooth CS: 130+ km/h, 14 tooth CS: 140+ km/h, 15 tooth: 145+km/h.

2011 TE 449 - Race Map 2, fitted with supplied Akro can and PC5 & Autotune, TC Airbox Lid, 51 tooth rear: 14 tooth CS: 140+ km/h, 15 tooth: 150+km/h.
