Power for riding two up or for going faster?
How fast does it go now? 60/65?

A GP150 will do 60/65 as standard, wont it?
I had one that Simon Farrell built when I was 17 that went that sort of speed. I don't think he'd tuned it.

I doubt you'd see that sort of speed out of a standard GP150. It would rev out before you got to 60.MPH.
Mine does 45 tops and its a fresh rebuild, you have to scream it in 3rd put it Into 4th and hope that you don't meet an incline. Lol this is genuine gps speed not lambretta speedo fantasy speed

Cheapest bang for buck would probably be to simply port the top end for starters, then if your budget will allow look at bigger carb and an expansion chamber......those 3 simple steps will see your smiles per hour increase straight away.marktheskin wrote:ive got an indian gp150 with a sterling pipe on and was wondering what i could do to it to get a bit more power out of her. everything about the engine is standard and has been recently re built
