125-200cc FIRST RIDE ON 144

VERY NICE MACHINE. whats the best mod to keep the hp climbing instead of flattening out. i was a little dissapointed . i need that power to keep pulling

richen the carb. Best move is to replace with a Lectron 36mm. I can't believe you are disapointed. Richen the main if you are wide open and it goes flat. If it goes flat at mid range , richen the needle. If running the stock Mikuni TMXx then also make sure the float level is about 8mm. It usually comes set too high causing a rich condition when hitting bumps , poor fuel economy because it is pumping gas out the overflow.

I hope you sort out the carb issues.... Because these bikes are great.... I'm certainly really happy with mine.... You can not get a better handing bike then these bikes IMO..... Keep us posted on how you feel after you sort out the carb issues....

Put a pipe on it.

The FMF gave me more power everywhere, especially on the bottom. At least it felt that way.

Even stock these things cant be accused of going flat on top !! jetting must be way off or powervalve not opening properly

Is it a factory 144 or a modded item ?

I agree they should run very hard on top. What's you jetting? BTW congrats.

Mine ran geat with the stock pipe. With the Scalvini it absolutely rips from mid to top end!

the dealer installed the factory 144. the mechanic said he rejetted. runs really clean. just flattens out at the top. i am a 170 lb vet expert and rode the shit out of it. i felt like a kid. had a real big tumble however. a small tripple out of a corner that i was doing on my 250f. i was an inch short on the husky. im to old for moto i guess! i am going to put either a 51 or 52 sprocket on her for trail riding this weekend. which one ?? lookin forward to riding with you cam.

Have you checked the power valve linkage setting. This may cause the power to flatten out up top if it is not adjusted right.

i have not. can the mechanically challenged handle such a chore as this?

Have a look at this sarg quite simple and easy to do

Yes but have the bolt at the bottom of the slot for more top end!,

most def check the powervalve
