Gearing/Speedometer

I'm looking for the chart that shows how gearing changes your speedometer reading, as well as top speed and acceleration.
-1+5
I would get rid of the gauges but its nice knowing when your out of gas and filling up everytime I go out (everyday) is a pain.
I tried looking it up but figured one of you guys know.

Re: Gearing/Speedometer

Get a Speedohealer. For something like $100 shipped, you can install it in 3 minutes and it'll calibrate your bike to whatever gearing you want within .01% accuracy.

I don't know of any chart, but if you knew your actual, real world top speed with your current gearing, it wouldn't be hard to back that into a formula to calculate what your new speed would be. You'd have three known figures, and you'd just have to calculate the percentages and keep shifting the "x". The hardest part would be knowing what your bikes actual top speed is, and things like wind and rider weight/shape proabably play too big of a role to make it completely accurate.

Speedohealer is the way to go.

Re: Gearing/Speedometer

Have a buddy ride next to you and figure out a few basic speed/gear combo's???

One thing I love about my old POS, I changed the gearing, and never had to worry about speedo error, mines a cable off the front tire

Re: Gearing/Speedometer

yeah yellowbox does the trick.. You have to figure the ratio out though by driving a distance and comparing it to a chart

This is for kawasaki's but should be real close for any bike.I think the speedohealer website has a chart also.
