[weazelz]

anyone know mph per 1,000 rpm in each gear? [on faired curvy]

ta muchly

Someone on here wrote a simple but excellent little programme that allowed you to adjust gear ratios/sprockets etc and tell you the exact (theoretical) mph. If no-one has a link to it, I'll upload the programme and link to it myself.

Same please for Pointy 12k revs in third standard sprockets.
Just out of interest :-dd

Edit: IIRC 4th is 1k per 10mph, 6th is 1k per 13 mph but don't have a gear lever to try any others assuming it's 1.5 mph per gear that would answer my question at 102.

I'll answer my own question then .. using the ratios from haynes:

rpm
1,000 5 7 9 11 13 14
2,000 10 14 18 22 25 29

5,000 25 34 44 54 64 72
6,000 30 41 53 65 76 86
7,000 35 48 62 76 89 101

So a curvy is definitely overgeared then regarding top speed...10.5 k in 6th = 151 mph.

Anyone with a tuned bike ever got near to flat out in 6th on standard gearing?

I get 180 in 7th gear with my JHS 7 speed kit

[Scoobs]

I get:

76mph in 1st
104mph in 2nd
To damn fast to look in the rest of the gears!

That's definetly not what i get on my pointy (thought it was standard sprockets). Can anyone confirm other than Scoobs on his IL4

What :shock: , so peeps actually look at their speedos and rev counter :roll: :wink:

Thought it was just there to keep the Emm...partnerships happy

Thats pretty much what i get on my K5, not sure about lower down the revs but in 6th gear I get about 90mph at 6000rpm and 104 at 7000 rpm. So near enough those figures.

Great little programmes, enabling you to play to your heart's content.

Thanks, so my sprockets must have been changed. Can you tell me your average mpg you get - I know it's all down to riding style but if most of my riding is commuting, I don't use 1st very much I wondered if 53mpg could be improved upon (without changing my style)

I'm not really the person to ask about MPG, i don't do commuting as such, even my journey to work is all country lanes that i can play on. I usually get about 110 miles till the light comes on (frequently i get alot less), whatever that works out at i don't know.

You want more (In that bloke from Oliver's voice)!!

I get 46mpg on average, that does me. If you want more, then buy a different bike. As for the ratios. The naked and faired do have different ratios. 1 tooth difference on the rear.

I got 90 miles on a track day :shock: so it's probably not hurting my pocket too much anyway!

I've never done a track day but i've had days where the fuel lights come on at 90 when i've just been out for a spin. It just shows you've been having fun. I'm not really bothered about fuel consumption i use what i use i'm not gonna change the way i ride and be bored outta my skull just cos it might save me a few pennies.

I was mostly interested in what speed the limiter kicks in in each gear - that's the only speedo I'm interested in on the track :-D

But why? The SV is long past making maximum power by then.

Half way round a corner isn't always the best/easiest place to change gear I guess :)

Bl**ding men eh. You lot never listen, do you :roll:

She tells you when to change gear. Use Your Ears and pay attention 8) :lol:

Nice one, although nobody has commented, so obviously nobody is interested or even tried to use it!! :D never mind, the thought was there :lol:
