    Nothing concrete can be said about the noise coming from the engine without looking at it. You might want to show it to another mechanic. If the bike is struggling above 70, u need to look into the carb and airfilter first. If you are in a running in phase, the carb has to be kept a little rich.

    Its a fresh rebuild so the engine should not have any unwanted noises.
    Thanks Yamdoot.
    I feel the same too, the carb might have been deliberately setup that way.
    Just to clarify, just the crankshaft and bearing were replaced, not a rebuild.

      My 100 has currently completed ~450 kms and its the same case with that too.

      Besides, I don't know why would you want to revv it to take past 60kmph so early. With 1/4 throttle (which is the max you ideally should be using within 0-500kms) by what margin would one able to cross 60kmph anyway?
      Thanks NitinGirish, I feel the same too but no one was able to clarify. Initially i was under the impression that replacing crankshaft does not need a run in period. But slowly when I listened to the engine I could make out the difference. Then when I could not cross 60kmph on a pretty long stretch of road I was alarmed. But I am glad you were able to help me out by sharing your experience. I am relieved.

        UPDATE:

        Almost completed 800kms after crankshaft replacement.
        Been using 25ml/l oil, but notice thick smoke now. Any suggestions?
