Its not possible to change the drive ratio as no other gears are available from standard, you could fit a larger section rear tyre 300 x 17 instead of 250 x 17 this would in effect give a higher drive ratio but the bike would than go slower up hills & in head wind, it may also adversely effect handling. I suppose you could tune the engine (bigger carb, have head skimmed & gas flowed) but it would probably not stand that for long. If you want to go faster buy a bigger bike! 50 mph is top wack for a T80.
