brixton bx 125 tuning for actual hill pull
I am helping with brixton bx 125 tuning on a bike that looks cool but feels flat on a hill. The owner wants sound first, but the complaint is pull, not music.
I found this related page while comparing options: brixton bx 125 tuning. I wanted a practical discussion before ordering anything.
Would you check valve history, plug, air filter, intake clamps, chain slack, sprockets, brake drag, tire pressure, battery voltage and the same hill before parts?
