Re: Highway riding on a GZ250
Even with the 16T I would hop on the interstate from time to time and pull 70 no problem. (no mods aside from maintenance.)

Re: Highway riding on a GZ250
[quote="Viirin"
Well the 16 tooth will take down the revs a bit and also take some of the strain off the engine - I don't really push my bike up past four thousand revs for extended periods of time so with the stock 15 tooth sprocket thats 40MPH but with the 16 tooth the bike should sit at 65-68Mph while still only cranking out a comfortable four thousand revs. I doubt sustaining four thousand revs will ever damage the bike. [/quote] Your math is wrong. 15 to 16 is approx 7%. 40 MPH to 65 MPH is approx 60%. |
