November 2, 201510 yr comment_701109 Brought a ke30 with a 5k. its got single webbers carb and extractors + Exhaust system. other then that i assume its stock just wondering what rpm i could safely run it to. 5500,6000? cheers :) Report
November 2, 201510 yr comment_701121 Yeah around there is safe. Peak power is probably around 4800rpm though. Report
November 2, 201510 yr comment_701122 Give it a go - if it's got anything above 4800 you'll know it's not a stock 5K ! Edited November 2, 201510 yr by Mechanical Sympathy Report
November 2, 201510 yr comment_701123 The factory pushrod valvetrain is known to be quite a good rev limiter by floating apart at high rpm or you could always rely on the factory dizzy points to bounce around... Not good for the motor and upgrading can see you get up 8000rpm using lots of modifications, but as power/rpm increases the size of the powerband size decreases... Report
