I like your bike build.

Is this a higher performance motor with custom specs or what? it looks great. What are its specs and performance expectations?

A GP460 (Chung Yang) will knock you on your butt.
4 port, RC style engine, very fast, and revs very high.

Just be sure to use really good oil, and watch the plating.
CY plating can be ok at best.
When they are running right, they kick so much butt.
Did you get the clutch saver springs for it?
It's a worthwhile investment of $15 for a lower clutch engagement,
and less chance of breakage, like stock 460 springs are known to do.

Better buy alot of belts. you will go through them with that beast. GEBE needs to step up to the plate with a tougher belt for us performance hungry people. i had to go to a chain setup... i could tear a belt up in one ride.

i think all the current questions have been covered so i'll take the comments.

after break in i'll be using Amsoil i think............

i have a set of clutch savers but i installed a set graciously provided by another member that could prove to be the long sought 3000-3500rpm engagers. clutch savers come in at about 6400 which is much better than the 8100 stockers but not really good enough either.

BELTS, this is the real point of opinion and widely varying experiences with the GEBE setup in general. people with much smaller motors have reported low life and the few i've spoken to personally, with this motor, say that if you pedal away from stops, ease in the throttle progressively and NEVER pop it wide open in the midrange that the belt is fine.

if it turns out that i need a chain setup, it will be one of my own design. it's aready in my AutoCad program. like most of my stuff it's not truely orignal, just a novel use of presently available pieces from various sources.

and because you asked directly lenny, i expect to topout around 55+.

yes, i have my nomex suit on guys, flame away !!
