Go to the Gearing Commander website, load your bike's data from the drop-down menu and find out.

The Gearing Commander will say what the true top speed is, not what the factory speedo error displays. For reference, you can load the bike's stock gearing, see what the top speed is with it and then compare the difference with the new setup.

Your top speed will go down slightly with a smaller front sprocket from stock.

Ride2die, I don't think anyone here will admit to topping out their bike. There are very few places on earth that it can be done legally and fewer places that it should be done.

You should rephrase your question again, go from "with any *****" to "lacking brains." You will then get a more honest answer of NO.

I've topped my bike out several times. Not sure why anyone would be afraid to admit that...

Let us re-word this for you rid2die- your top speed is a mathmatical equation based on gearing and RPM. Use the dam calculator and stop asking for bro's to tell you how awesome and fast they are. GPS doesn't mean sh*t compared to cold, hard, mathmatical facts.

Because doing those kinds of speeds on the street is reckless behavior that is strictly frowned upon on CBRF...

We all ride like grandmas.
