Minibike lost 10mph

Sounds like the quality Comet belt fixed the problem. Another point for Denny's persistance.

Is that “pit bike” muffler any good? Got a link for that or is it common as dirt?



You found and fixed “a" problem or merely changed the gear ratio like WTR said, which was limiting your top speed.

If the bent sprocket were a real problem it would be throwing the chain or some such. That being said, a straight chain on straight sprockets does provide an edge on speed but not a whole lot. A bent sprocket and wobbling, vibrating chain represents a bit of power loss no doubt.

I was exited I got my speed back but I think that the shorter gear ratio was making the tension on the belt less allowing it to grip the cvt better.

here is the muffler: https://a.co/d/00aCX2tD
It loves to rattle and move all around don’t really recommend unless you can secure it properly to the frame because if you don’t it has a habit of destroying itself.
