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.

Sometimes I feel guilty reving it around 5,000 rpm at 120, but it runs so smooth so I can't complain.

KLR speedos are pretty generous, minereads about 8-9Km faster than actually going. So when you say 120Km and 5000RPM you are probably closer to 110Km.
This is just my experience with a buddy following in a vehicle clocking the bike and I have also read about this speedo error also.
Guys with GPS can probably verify this.

I have checked my speedometer with my GPS and the KLR is about 10% higher than reality. Really officer!:hf:

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!
