Default Top speed

Hey guys my rinny wont reach but about 48mph wide open.. Its an 06 with 26 outlaws on it with no other mods. I've heard of others hittin 60 and bouncing off the rev limiter but mine wont reach the rev limiter? What could be the problem? Or is there one? I'd jus wish the thing would do more than 48....

Your speedo is going to be about 5 mph slow with those tires.

Something is wrong with it. This guy has a Rinny not a Foreman, it should be hitting around 65-66mph. It's not snorkeled or anything is it? The tires wont have anything to do with it.

My 450 only tops out about 42 or 43. Then it feels like the motor is gonna pop if I try any harder.
