|
|
Changed the rear sprocket from 45 to 48 teeth, changed the front sprocket from 17 to 16 teeth.
I might have gone to far. I bought a Speedometer healer to correct the Speedo. At 80 mph I’m running about 5900 rmp.
Not worried about blowing it up, it’s a Honda.
What is everybody else’s RPM at cruising speed?
Would you like to change it?

Notice that Ralph didn't give a "cruising" speed, speedometer was probably pegged.
