Re: Speed - Notch000 - 18-10-13
ya expensive & very sore lesson learned
Re: Speed - His Dudeness - 18-10-13
Mine is a bit clunky going into second at low rpm but slips in nicely up the rev range.

Did the bike explode in a ball of flames? You're not suppose to go over 3k as it wears out the tacho.
Re: Speed - richfzs - 18-10-13
Not to mention what it does to the farkle gland. Honestly some people, no mechanical sympathy!!
Re: Speed - stevierst - 19-10-13
You don't need a redline, that's what the rev limiter is for :

Re: Speed - Captain Haddock - 19-10-13
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
Re: Speed - Notch000 - 19-10-13
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
Oh, and my gears don't clunk from 1st to 2nd, mainly neutral to 1st.
Re: Speed - HazzaBui - 20-10-13
In case anybody wanted slightly more accurate information/speed at different revs or gears, this website is pretty great:
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?

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?
Re: Speed - Dead Eye - 21-10-13
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
