Weeksy I have 17/41 Gearing and I guess around 190km/h... But what a wheelie machine

17 x 41 = 146MPH at 9500rpm

What about 16/41 ?

Yes and the subtract for wheel slippage... I'm telling you guy's top speed realistic is 127 mph.

Hmmmm. Think I may have to run the 17/41 then as the top speed drop and fuel economy may be a bit to drastic for trip planned.
Is it spring yet?

I'm running 16/40 and mine hits the limiter in 6th @ 233 km (9800rpm) 17/41 should give a higher top speed than 16/40 Sd speedo is indeed on the front wheel, so no slippage. It will probably be a little positive, but i doubt it will overread 30 km or more.

The speed will actually be a little higher than the calculated gearing number due to centrifugal force increasing the tyres circumference at high speed

Its pussy gearing for a 1000cc V twin anyway........ My old TLs is just peaking out in 4th at 140mph and thats with lowered gearing, a crest in the road and a hard shift into 5th will still get the front up
