Quick question, how fast is 10,000 RPM in first gear
-
Only one way to find out :D
-
the surgen says otherwise

You have got another 5 you know

15,000 rpm might be a little excessive, don't you think? :lol

He learned to ride with a scalextrix :lol

There is another Gauge next to the rev counter... its called a speedometer.. it tells you what speed you do.. and at 10 000 rpm in first.. well you will need to look at and see...
-
Didn't someone have a question like this before, but it was the other way around, like how many revs would you be if you wer in 6th doing 60mph if you went 2 teeth down on the front? Something like that
But someone put up a scale like on an excel sheet to show what speed and at what rev and how many teeth up or down? That might help but I can't find the thread

My speedos wasnt working. I had a wheelie bad accident :'( so just wondering what sort of speed i was doing when i came off,
10, 20, 30 ???? anyone

When you say you had a "wheelie" bad accident, is that literally doing a wheelie, which would explain why there was no speedo working?
Anyway, 10K in first sounds a bit OTT to be truthful, did you flip the bike perchance?
If i had to make a random guess i s'pose i'd say around the 45mph mark, but i'm not gonna confirm that on the way to work this morning, i have a very busy day! :\

4500 in 2nd is near as dammit 30
Same as
4500 in 3rd is 40
As for 10,000 in first I'd take a guess at about 60, I shall check on my way into town for you!
-
On the basis that each 1000 rpm in 5th is close to 10 mph (just my observation), then a quick calculation using the gear ratios gives 42 mph.
Using Punkstig's 4500 in second = 30 mph the calculation gives 45.6 mph
Using 4500 in third = 40 mph then the calculation gives 48 mph.
Be interesting to see what the road test brings up.
-
If you were in 1st at 10,000 revs then its no wonder you crashed.
I wouldnt fancy doing a test for you to see as I hate to think of the SMASH from 1st to 2nd gear as at normal revs its a clunck
-
I didn't go mad but at about 8000rpm i was approaching 38mph then changed gear, so i wasn't too far out at 45mph, but if you prolong it then obviously the speed will rise, probably between 50 and 60mph.
But the bike sounds very stressed and quite frankly it gets a bit embarrassing.
Just change gear in future!
-
Ok, so I was way off- 10,000 in first is about 45, I say 'about' due to speedo variations!
My 2nd and 3rd at 4500 are pretty close though- I was running without a speedo for a few weeks as hadn't yet had time to figure out fitting the drive unit to the thundercat wheel so had to know what speed I was going for cameras!
-
Well I am not going to thrash my motor to find out for you... :eek

The bike took it all in it's stride to be honest, they don't mind a bit of revving, as long as it's all under control.
-
They're built to do that, it's what a 600 is all about. "ride it like you stole it" >:D
-
Nah, they may well do.. But I ride mine to last and live a bit longer thanks very much... :)
-
to cut a long story short, i pulled off a little to eager and let it rev out a bit, the rear spun then gripped and then flipped out from under me. there was no catching it.
Be careful out there kids

Yeah, that'll do it :oops

What you mean down the pavement and across the park
-
ya expensive & very sore lesson learned
-
Mine is a bit clunky going into second at low rpm but slips in nicely up the rev range.
-
tried it today
10000RPM in 1st is 45mph
-

finally thanks

Did the bike explode in a ball of flames? You're not suppose to go over 3k as it wears out the tacho.
-
Not to mention what it does to the farkle gland. Honestly some people, no mechanical sympathy!!
-
You don't need a redline, that's what the rev limiter is for ::)

Have a look 10 posts previous to Boris!

So you are going to tell you're insurance company that " I was just wheel spinning away from the traffic lights when it gripped unexpectedly...." I think I know what they will say, probably along the lines of "no" but with more F's involved. :lol
-
no need to tell them nothing, only myself involved, can fix bike for less than excess on policy, have private health & got a tow on breakdown cover

You can even go 15 posts back to my first guess :D
Oh, and my gears don't clunk from 1st to 2nd, mainly neutral to 1st.

In case anybody wanted slightly more accurate information/speed at different revs or gears, this website is pretty great:
http://www.gearingcommander.com/ (http://www.gearingcommander.com/)
Just chuck in your bike's make, model and version, switch is over to mph, then put the rpm in the m.p.rpm box - easy!

It's all here on a nice sheet which also shows the effects of changing sprockets.

That says a standard 155mph, that ain't right?

???? hhhmmmm well its about 50 degree`s keep the back brake covered !!

Its entirely possible that IF the bike were to ever reach 12,500 RPM in 6th it would be travelling at 155mph... it just won't ever get there because it doesn't have the power...

A rather pointless figure then?
-
I think its there more for consistency - besides, there may be other bikes that the gearing also represents which have the extra power to achieve such a figure?
Also, if you change the gearing enough, the 12,500 RPM in 6th can come down to below Yamaha's quoted top speed for the bike - not a useless figure then ;)

Don't forget the added turbo and the 1:3 gradient down hill as well :lol
-
also dont forget the wind - because at 12,500 rpm and 155mph I will be making quite a lot of it !
-
Wind and gradient don't make a different to gearning ratios... they make a difference to the maximum speed achievable under those conditions as they are a function of power, but it won't affect the RPM for a given Speed and Gear
-
I have seen on the speedo just under 150 mph on the 600 so about about 135 mph true speed, i dont think a half faired 600 would pull a true 155 mph ( did get 168 mph on my R6 speedo reading ( 1999 model) :evil
Mark :)

I've had 135mph with a passenger on as well, and if it wasn't for a pesky car changing lanes about a third of a mile up ahead i'd have gone quicker.
Bloody thoughtless these car drivers. :lol

i find the ones with blue lights the worst, i had to ride on the pavement for several miles til i lost him :evil :evil

Oh dear let me do it again and now put one of these at the end of it :rollin

Yeah, I'm not good at judging internet humour unfortunately... sorry :P
I will generally always go with "There is no accounting for human stupidity" and just assume the worse case scenario :P

I can say from unwanted one time experience those kind of revs puts out an outrageously loud bang :rolleyes :o [size=78%] [/size]

Sorry to hear that, put it down to rider error
-
Why on earth wouldn't you be able to hit 10k revs in first? The red line isn't until 12,500!

They do it quite comfortably, and beyond!
-
Think I might have been misunderstood - my bike does indeed quite happily do 10k rpm, and beyond... What it doesn’t do, is make a huge clunk, or outrageously loud bang, when I shift from 1st to 2nd.
Any rider error involved, is not on my part....

That clutchy lever thingy seems to stop all that clunking on my bike :lol

Yeah, funny that, them designing it for that porpoise and everyfink ;)

Fazers are they not ? renown for a cluncky 1st to 2nd
