Re: My GZ 's top speed seems low

I checked for vacuum leaks. It looks like all of the hoses and clamps are new. I sprayed WD-40 on the hoses and boots and the rpms did not change. I poured some seafoam in the fuel tank and took it for a quick ride (have not checked tire pressure yet), but didn't get it over 35 mph due to speed limits (25) in my borough.
I wasn't able to find any vacuum leaks, but I recorded two short videos of my bike idling, with a few revs. I hear some popping, but you guys probably have better mechanical hearing than I do. Can you give me your opinion on if you hear any rev lag and/ or popping when the rpms decelerate?
Also, does it sound like my idle rpm is high, low, or about right?

Thanks again for your help everyone. I really do appreciate it.
