Slow speed up the hills. KSR Moto GRS 125 (2016)

[siedlikmaster]

Hello,

Last week I have bought KSR Moto GRS 125 (2016), only 2885 miles.
Using the bike mainly to go to work 15-20min ride. But the bike got problems going up the hill, up the hill im going only 40mph, where traffic is going 50mph. So its not really safe when cars are overtaking you all the time.
On 3rd gear im able to go about 40mph, but when going on 4th gear its just slowing down.
The bike goes to 30mph pretty fast, but after that it take time.

I have changed the oil, checked the oil filter, cleaned the air filter, cleaned the carburetor, checked if jets are clocked and checked clutch.
What could be the issue here ?
Could it be the issue with the carburetor ?
Will adjusting it give more power or something ?
Will new exhaust give it more power ?
Will bigger rear sprocket make it reach 50mph+ easier ?
Im 98KG if something.

Thanks

A 125 that only makes its 10.9 bhp at 9000 rpm
with a 15.4 stone rider slows on hills in high gear eh?

Pretty typical really
They didn't tell you that in the shop though did they?

Don't bother with modifications to try and get more power. You'll spend a fortune and get almost nothing back in terms of gains. Get qualified and a bigger bike.

15 fucking stone? Youd be better off with a skip lorry....

My 125 was the same - built from Chinesium - and I definitely found a few hills where 5th was useless, 4th got you nowhere and a drop down to 3rd... and I'm a bit lighter than you!

Use a lower gear and rev it more.

Pass your test.

Lose 4 stone.

The only time I've ever bothered with messing with hearing (aside from the tuned dt50 that had a power band as wide as posh spice) was to raise the gearing on the fz to make motorway riding less busy.

Bike manufacturers spend millions developing them.if that's the gearing they selected,they're probably right.

Manufacturers go for a "one size fits most" setting at the end of the day. Everyone rides different roads at different times of year at different altitudes at different speeds at different loads etc etc etc.

Do you still ride the same OEM tyres, or go for something more sticky, or maybe something that lasts longer? Same thing....
