Mine sits around 61/2k at 70 with standard gearing.

mine is about the same
What the heck... Ok, seems everyones FZS600 except mine runs over 6000rpm at 70mph in 6th gear.Mine is a metric instrument model with standard (15/48) sprockets.It shows:100 km/h -> 5000 rpm112 km/h (70 mph) -> 5600 rpmgearingcommander.com confirms these numbers.What am I missing?

A few pounds perhaps. [size=78%] You can't put a guaranteed standard on how hard an engine has to work. [/size]
got a phone? attach it to the bike so you can see it and install a speedo app

Of course GPS is way more precise. What irritates my mind is the thing that many say their bike runs over 6000 rpm at 70 mph. Referring to the calculations above, 70 mph should be at around 5600 rpm. This is almost 10% difference. Tacho and speedometer should be more precise. In fact his speedo has to show less than the reality, which is not typical. Or the tacho has to show more than reality, which... yeah, we should test it with a proper rpm measuring device.Might worth some experimenting on this topic in the future...

[/size]Basically you are talking about the cluth slipping which may count at hard accelerations or much higher speeds and rpms. Don't think it is the case here.
I bet you're mates have fun winding you up
