Hey all,
This may be a silly q, but... I have a new Zongshen 250cc dual purpose and it is very slow. There is a thread in newbies that shows others getting up around the 130kph mark.
I am wondering if there is a limiter of some description? Or do new engines just take time to get up to speed?? I have never had a new vehicle before so don't really know what to expect. And I don't have a manual to look at either!
It has had its services and so forth, but when brand spankin' it could get to around 70kph, now gets to about 85kph. The dashboard has shat itself (no longer reads speed - I have replaced speedo cable but the LCD display unit seems to be at fault here) don't know if that would make any difference.
I assume the engine is too cheap to have a computer-controlled limiter, but maybe there is a wear indicator in the engine somewhere? Anyone heard about this or can shed some light would be great!
Cheers!
