80 MPH in 6th is approximately 6400 RPM, by going up one tooth on the front, this drops to 6000 RPM
I'm just going by what is shown on gearing commander - I don't remember what the speeds were on my 600. I think I remember 5900 RPM in 6th being 70mph though and gearing commander says 5600 so its possible someone has made a mistake with it The 1000 gearing is correct though :|Can any one confirm the correct sprocket ratio just to make sure? It's showing stock as 15F 48R
Cheers guysI'll try +1 on the front then, and get a new chain and stock rear whilst im at it!
I still haven't done this, but need to order new chain and sprockets anyway soon.Tempted to go two up on the front now, and maybe one down on the rear.I'll then use my drz4 sm for honing around on!
I went +1 on the front.It takes less than a 1/4 hour (assuming you've got an air impact wrench) and has knocked about 7-800 RPM off in top gear.I haven't noticed any difference in acceleration, bloody fast is bloody fast if you ask me.It's a lot more relaxed now and 7K RPM cruising at 90(ish) is fine for the big miles.IIRC it's doing about 4.5K RPM at 60MPH, it still picks up from there but a change down to 5th is needed for a quick squirt round the cars.One thing though, it struggles to rev out in top, it gets to about 125 and runs out of puff so for top speed runs it's a case of 5th and scream it.***All speed tests were done on private roads****
Mind you, took the bike out this evening.. At 40 mph 2500rpm, 70mph 4750rpm,
