No tuck, sitting straight up, full face helmet, bike was stable, however, I get the feeling it would just pick up speed if I slammed on the brakes. Stock tires are dangerous. I wish I would have paid more attention to the speed. I know I could have hit 70. I was kinda busy trying not to die. Still buzzing on adrenaline.
Added the Ohlins KO rear shocks from Japan. Didn't think these would be that big of a game changer for $150, but wow, my daughter and I installed them in less than 10min then rode for 27miles on all dirt and gravel roads yesterday and my butt is thankful!

Wow, cool. That is going to give it real dirt capabilities. There are videos of Monkeys being ridden hard in dirt. I want my Monkey to be more of a supermoto, capable of light trails. However, I want to turn a 2020 Super Cub into a scrambler, stiff suspension, knobbies...The majority of Cubs rarely see good USA style pavement anyway.
Installed the chrome H2C rear rack, mirror extenders, and short throw throttle tube. Funny enough, my stock grip wasn't even glued on. Quick squirt of WD40 and it pulled right off. The bar end met the impact driver and came right off as well. Took about 30min for all three.
Finally found the rev limiter, 10330 sound right? I ride hard and get everything out of each gear, but I had to try and blow it up in second to hit it.
I put a 14t sprocket on today. I have no idea why the bike did not come with this gearing from the factory. It gives the bike much needed pep, especially when you don't feel like wringing out 1st gear. 4th gear will maintain speed on steeper grades. To my surprise, it did not affect ABS function like I thought it would.
Installed the 12oclockLabs SpeedoDRD H9 Speedo Calibrator to fix the stock speedometer as I'm running a 14t sprocket up front and the Kenda Big Blocks now. Literally a 15min install and works like a charm. Highly recommended for $70.
I fitted the Kitaco high volume oil pump and Kitaco clutch cover that converts the oil filtering to a cartridge oil filter system, cleaned the oil screen, I fitted a set of 330mm Takegawa rear shocks, a Takegawa stock look performance pipe and Tyga carbon fiber exhaust end cap and heat shield, reset the ECU, fitted a H2C rear rack, Yoshimura tail tidy, Gcraft spindle holder and a TB shift lever, very impressed with the improvement in performance, still have to de restrick the air box, fit a Takegawa air filter and tune with a Dynojet PV3, 200km on the speedo.
I had mine apart waiting for the MNNTBX Mtake that the post office elected to change the delivery date on. So I put it back together and rode it! (It's now back apart)
I went back to my factory 15 tooth sprocket. Since adding the intake, I was topping out the bike with the 14t. It makes enough power now to make 4th usable even on inclines. I am back to downshifting on big hills though. Didn't have to do that nearly as much with the 14t.
So you're hitting the limiter in 4th with the intake and the 14t? I've had mine up to 67mph and wasn't there yet, that intake must make a big difference! Can't wait to get mine installed!
