Top speed for the XT?
I have seen people on youtube ride their bikes in approx 187km/h (~116 mph). How fast can you drive with your bike?
I have not got my bike faster than 167 km/h (103.7 mph).. Well, I don't remember the weather conditions and I'm quite heavy (~98 kg, ~216 lbs) but how can the difference be so big? I have open air filter (K&N), slipon, Kev O2 controller and a PowerJet to get more fuel.. I have default sprockets (15/45) as well.. Is it only possible to reach 187 km/h with other sprockets or do any reach those speeds with default sprockets? Isn't my bike well "burned in" when it was new or why don't I reach higher speeds? It feels very responsive even in those speeds.. |
Well, I don't recall ever exceeding an indicated 95mph on mine and I don't intend trying to push the speed envelope any further either! ;)

119mph with no luggage, tucked in, slight downhill.
Not even tickling 6,500 RPM... ran out of road before I could find out if it went any faster. |

I have had my XTR with standard gearing 15/45 up to
170kmh passing a line of cars... |
I have been over 200kph on Chris's big bore 76hp XTX sitting up.
|
Indicated 177 kph on my XTX with standard gearing, flat down on tank with 2km straight run up. If you wanna performance bike look elsewhere!!!!

Don't think a speedo healer is installed. It was also default kitted with 15/45, so no speedo healer was needed.. I don't think the drive line has ever been replaced. Only 10500 km (~6524 miles?) on the meter when I bought it. |

After all this time, it's good to see I am still officially the slowest member here at 153km/h or 95mph! :infant:
|
Only ever had my 2007 XTX at 105mph :D
|
Over 200kph on Kris007 monster XT.
|
And still pulling hard, but unfortunately the roads are not long enough and the police don't like it much either

top speed XT
Hi I opened my xtz up for the first time this week end just out of curiosity. Sat bolt upright on the level it went round to an indicated 100 mph with no bother and i was not on full throttle!! well impressed. I know its probly low ninetys but still it hauled my ass 115 kg with no bother.:angel3: oh its totally stock no performance mods yet. I dont think my speedo is as optimistic as some I drive this stretch of road regularly in my car and the average traffic speed is just under eighty. I cruise at 5000rpm on the bike and the speedo reads 82 ish. When i opened the bikeup I even left the fast pack BMWs who where doing around ninety for dead. I think my tom tom under reads when I have used it in the car its probly not recalculating fast enough.

Had 109mph (indicated) out of my modded Z, (private land, 100% legal)
DNA air filter and snorkel removed. Kev mods. Stock gearing. Tall screen, new army specials. 130kg rider. Tucked in trying to snap throttle.cable. Garmin says 98 mph. Tires where howling like a banshee :wicked01: |
well tires can matter. knobbies vs street tires make a difference in power delivery i think
and elevation, at 1500m i think there's about a 10% power loss |

I should think most of their knobbly bits are still stuck to the road! ;) |
I don't know and I honestly don't care what the topspeed is! This kinda bike isn't about speed, but about havin' fun getting there(where ever that may be!), is it onroad or offroad...... But to each its own, gladly we don't like all the same things!

A month or two ago I reached 187km/h (around 116mph) on the German Autobahn, laying on the tank as flat as possible. Was on the way back home from a dirt bike training. Real speed may have been slower, but the Garmin was switched of. After a short time it started to feel a bit strange, as the rear tire decided to throw away some knobbies... :eusa_whistle:
That's the result: http://www.xt660.com/gallery/display...p?imageid=2203 So I agree: top speed is not important and can become expensive Ciao Solitario |

http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/t...psb74b20ca.jpg Every single centre knobble had either fell off or was in the process of leaving. I replaced it with this maxxis whuch was without doubt the hardest sh*test tyre ive ever used. It did last 11,000 miles.though. http://i607.photobucket.com/albums/t...ps8eeea68b.jpg But like i said my speedo is like a politician. Its a Lying b*stard haha Gps said 98. Guess that speed.rating on the tyre is there for a reason lol. |
