More teeth on the rear will give you better acceleration but lower top speed.

Hearin talk about rev limiters...over th elast few days wi me tryin wheelie on this thing....ave felt the rev limiter kick in a few times in second gear ... a know thats not how ye wheelie like revin out.....but it seems to kick in ever so quick....Can ye set it,,, or how do you tell what yer max revs are....

No John, the rev limiter is not something you can't interfere with and according to Kev is there for a reason, mainly to stop the bike over-revving and damaging vital engine parts.

Going on the grounds what Kev says the maximum a standard geared XT can do is 106mph. The fact others are getting higher readings just means the speedo is out.
If you are flat out in 5th on the limiter at 7200rpm then this = 106mph. Only changing the gearing can change that. It does not matter how tuned the bike is. The tuning will only make the bike get there quicker. |
I hitt the Reverend Limiter at 181 km/h with a 15 frontsprock. :mod_smilie_icon_pol

Capt....I dont do drugs either not since 83...anyway that was jist a wee bit a jehovial banter in ma post :evil5: there a didnt think ye thought a wis serious...John

John I appreciate, and don't worry nothing was taken personal, but I let you into a little secret of mine, I have learnt the hard way to pause and think before I speak, God only knows if I was to run my mouth on impulse everytime I was challenged, how many people and friends I would offend.
So... I have learnt to button it up from time to time and to simmer a little before I speak. It seems to work :D |
I saw 100 on the clock last night � desperately trying to get home from Essex on the 25 before I drowned!
Doesn't feel very comfortable though I must admit. Why is it that 70-80 on the motorway seems to bash you around more than 70-80 on normal roads??? My neck feels like I've been lifting armoured trucks with my head this morning! |
