I’ve got several other ideas but will reveal them one by one as I make progress from test to test.Ģ/1/16 – Ok, just did a base speed test and hit 29.4 mph. I’ll make videos of each top speed run and post them here. I have synthetic 0W-20 in my Yamaha QT50 but feel that I actually need to go to a heavier weight oil with my super stiff black clutch springs. I also have conventional 5W-20 and 5W-30 oil. I have 0W-20, straight 30W synthetic, synthetic transmission fluid. I’m still undecided on what weight synthetic oil to try. So my first top speed experiment will be to try a lighter weight synthetic oil to see if I obtain a noticeable speed increase. I also read on (concerning the Suzuki FA50) that if you went from 20W-40 conventional oil to 10W-30 synthetic oil, you would obtain a 2-4 mph top speed increase. I’m currently running 10W-40 conventional oil and I think I notice some drag on cold days. I was reading the service manual for the NC50 and saw that it called for 10W-40 transmission oil in the summer and 5W-30 in the winter. Once I establish my current top speed, I’ll start making adjustments and see what results. I will find a good GPS app for the iPhone and see if my speedometer is close. My top speed now is somewhere around 28 mph. I thought over the next few weeks I’d perform some experiments on my stock NC50 to see how fast I could get it to go without using any performance parts (I do have a K&N hi-flow air filter). So you want your Honda Express to go faster. My Honda Express at the time of purchase.
