I'll definitely look into that! To clarify a bit, I CAN get her up past that, but she struggles to maintain speed as too much throttle seems to kill any power she has (revs drop significantly). I attempted the freeway the other day and got her up to 60, but it took a bit and she struggled at the top end.
These issues weren't as bad (or perhaps just not as noticeable) before I swapped out the sprockets, but the rear ended up being a different size meant to give more top-end speed... And 'top-end' is where she struggles. Might have to swap that back out for a larger one... (it was recommended by a friend, and I failed to realize the size difference until it was too late... OOPS).
