RE: Can it be that fast?
ORIGINAL: mann392
I was doing some gearing calculations and I'm wondering if I've made a mistake somewhere. I've got the primary gear set at 1.8220, 6th gear at 1.075, rear tire set at 180/55/17 and at 14,500 rpm that comes out to about 187mph. Now I know that these bikes aren't topping out at this speed. Am I wrong with my calculations or is the bike just geared too high? I've read a lot about you guys dropping down a tooth and maybe this is why. Thanks in advance
