The faster red one!
I was reading a thread this morning....
http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-technical/1498-gear-ratios.html
This got me thinking about something. I have the 15tooth front and the 48tooth rear sprockets on my bike. I know the RPMs are a little higher but i wonder if they are as high as havblue said. I am not questioning your knowledge....i will just have nothing to do after work today...
He said the RPMs are 400 or so off at speed. I am assuming that is 65mph. Also that the odometer is off. I know they both are off by some degree and i know we have asked these questions before about gear ratios and fuel milage. <(run on sentence)
What i will do is set my trip meter to 0.00 when i leave work. I will actually be starting from the parking lot entrance since some of you know i work at a car dealership and when we close at 3 they close the gates out front. I will get the mileage from my work to my house. I will also see what my RPMs are at 65mph. I have a friend i work with who will travel next to me in his civic to let me know when im at 65. Once i get home i will put the original sprockets back on and make the trip again. I will be sure to start from the same spot again so i get the same distance. Then i will record the same info i did the first time to see the difference.
I wont be able to post anyhting up till tomorrow or monday but i will let you guys know what i find out.
