Anybody tried the 16 tooth front sprocket for highway riding? When I'm on the road, I always end up starting in 2nd then skipping 3rd and switching to 4th gear, so I thought I could maybe cruise comfortably at 120k on a 16 tooth front?
I cruise comfortably at 120with a 15 tooth. I haven't ried the 16 tooth, but everyone I know that has tried it is not happy with it. Decreased gas mileage, and sucks when you do get into some rough stuff.
That makes sense to me. That's why I wanted to ask first Sometimes I feel guilty reving it around 5,000 rpm at 120, but it runs so smooth so I can't complain.
Hi Flyfisher! Welcome to this forum. I only joined a few months ago myself. That's true. It is usually off about 10K at those speeds. When I was doing 90k, the car I was following showed 85k steady.
That's funny, I noticed this on I-5 with my GPS and took the GPS in my car and it matched. I thought I had a crappy speedo until reading this thread just now.
THAT"S STUPID!!! Now I have to compensate in my head?!!
Anyone get a story from Kawasaki on this? I know you tend to follow the traffic but I do like to do limit +10% and now I find out I'm just doing the speed limit. I feel ripped off!
Wait a second! It's a conspiracy to keep us from speeding!
