My bike had a bad choke when i got it and it had the same issue i fixed the choke cable cleaned the carb replaced the air filter and not it runs fine without rejetting or changing components i get 55 on a hill as long as i keep hard on the throttle in 5th and that is from 65 it drops 10 mph but holds there to the top of the hill with no need to downshift

I downshift to 4th up hill.

I just want to keep this little bike running the more i look into my goldwing the more i find that i have to fix and that is gonna be expensive and time consuming project so i need this bike to keep running as long as possible. and high rpm in 4th gear is IMO hard on the engine.

I think this bike can handle it as long as its not al the time.

i live in a very hilly area so it kinda is all the time for me, i guess i can just leave that at, "different strokes for different folks"
