Top speed

I have a question for you guys? (Brute Riders). What is the top speed that you guys have got your quads up to? I have a 2008 Brute, My top speed was 68 mph, and I weighed 332 lbs, and had stock rims and tires. But now it is 66 mph, I have lost 50 lbs in the last 4 months, so I thought that maybe the wight lose would increase my top end, the say that every 10 lbs is a horse Power. But then I also put a set of ITP SS 108s rims on, and a set of Big horn tires. When I was putting the new Rims and Tires on I noticed that they were a lot heavier than the stock ones. Do you guys think that the extra wight could knock 2 mph off the bike or do you think something else is up? Thanks Brute Rider.

Bigger tires change your gearing and you might not be able to go as fast. The wieght definitly has an effect also.

And if you are going by the speedo on the bike If the tires are a different size than the stock ones it will throw it off
