Lifan GY-3 110cc trail bike

Aloha,
I just ordered a Lifan GY-3 110cc trail bike. From what I have been reading the gearing is not suited for street riding. So I know I will be doing some mods to this bike. First will be switching the sprockets to 17T/34T (http://ct70honda.com/Parts.html). A better coil and CDI will also be on the list. I will also want to mod the exhaust http://shop.pitsterpro.com/30mmbigbo...ustsystem.aspx and intake to a high flow filter, something like this; http://shop.pitsterpro.com/twostageunipodfilter.aspx

My question is, will I be able to re-jet the carb or should I just get a bigger one such as this? http://www.hondatrailbikes.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=56&products_id=848

But then again a swap for a 140cc is an option also…

If anyone has a suggestion on better parts or ideas PLEASE help. Any info is GREATLY APRECHIATED!

I'm using the same Lifan 110cc engine minus the electric start on a couple of Honda Trail 90s. They're very nice smooth running engines that will push the bikes along at close to 50 mph stock. IMO if you really want to go faster than that the best option is a larger engine.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I'm a bit premature having not even recieved the bike yet:icon10: I will be using it mainly to teach my wife to ride and ride on roads less than 50mph. Thanks again!
