got my spree running ok now, normally will do 20mph somtime 25mph. i have the pipe semi loose because i was told to do that on this forum. at full throttle it somtimes boggs down and somtimes doesnt. also it seems that when i jump around on the bike a little then it will go faster for a while. any help?

The pipe? As in exhaust? Loose? Um, tighten that up. If you leave the pipe loose, you'l burn up your rings!

only losten it to see if it may be clogged, if it has no power with the exaust tightend on it and it only goes 15 then clean the exaust, then you re tighten it

Not by anyone that knows what they're talking about. You need to clean the exhaust if that's helping. Read up in tech docs.

ok i tightened up the exaust and now it accelerates quicker but still boggs down? my brother said it might be running too lean and i dont want to burn out my engine so how would i adjust that? if thats not the problem then what else could it be. thanks for the effort guys!

would do you do to the airbox? make it ram air or something? also could that hurt it as long as you had the filter in?
i would really love to get this thing running right

also should i try to decarbonize my muffler? my spree has around 1100 miles on it

could drilling out my muffler make the engine run lean? if so how would i adjust it, or would it even help with running better/ top speed?
