speed for my GZ
Hey all my GZ friends..
I was wondering if keeping my 2010 GZ250 at a speed of 100-105km/h for a while will hurt the bike at all. Is it to high of a rpm for it or am I ok.. Thats 62-65mph.... Thanks everybody and ride safe.. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Re: speed for my GZ
That's what I ran mine at for four years/25,000 miles before I sold it.

Re: speed for my GZ
Bonehead, was there any negative consequences? When you did ride at that speed, for how long or for what mileage. I can get mine to 115km/h, but I don't have a good feeling, cause i like my bike and don't want to give him bad time...

Re: speed for my GZ
for the gz, 60-65 mph is an ideal speed in 5th gear, dont run like that in 4th gear.

Re: speed for my GZ
I'm only asking because when I go to work.
I do it in 5th gear Only for about 15-20min at a time This is why im asking if the bike would be reving to high. If you all think that it's not good for the bike then I will take another way to work And keep it at 70-80km/h |

Re: speed for my GZ
115 kph is about 71 mph which is pushing the GZ a bit. 105 kph(65 mph)is more reasonable although I personally would be more comfy at 100 kph (62 mph).

Re: speed for my GZ
Thanks for all the feed back
That's all I want to do is 100km/h And after all your feed back I believe it's fine for the bike. Just want to say I love this forum.. |
