2005 gn250 e riders....revs = ?kmh?

[sunhuntin]

lost the speedo cable just this side of taihape....trying to match the revs with what i estimate to be a safe speed limit till it gets fixed and need to compare with other riders....

3500-4000revs = roughly 50k? [4th gear]

about 6000 revs = around 100/110k? [5th gear]

just tryin to keep it semi legal speed till wednesday...useless dealer said they had to get the part from a dealer in the south island...wtf?

also, since there no speedo, theres no k counter either...been stuck on around 4300k since last monday....when/if i part with the bike, do i need to state that, as obviously, it wont have an actual count of how many k's the bike has done?

I wouldn't worry about it, it's only a week and a half, you wont have lost enough K's to be significant or noticeable.

Many do this deliberately anyway. Only your ethics can tell you whether to mention or not.

i weigh 96kg and i had a certain GN250 past the redline in top gear and it wouldnt do much more than 110kmh... :blink:

Just ring the fuck out of it..... if any cop pulls you up for speeding on a GN, laugh at him.

I think ive only ever seen mine go over 105 once and that was when it was squealing like a small abused chineese child.. mind you im not the smallest of people :bleh:

Mine sits exactly on 6000RPM at 100km in 5th gear.

Can't say I really remember 50 in 4th. I think I sit at 3500-4000 RPM at 60km in 4th.

I'll try remember to have a look at the city speed limit revs next time.

thanks all....damned bike shop keeps givin me excuses as to why the part isnt in yet....monday it will be 4 weeks! first i was told the part had to come from the south island, and got told the other day its coming in a container and the guys dont have "time" to look for a small part like mine. really beginning to piss me off.

very tempting to buy a junker off of tm and get them to put that bikes bits on mine, but thatd fuck the warranty. nearly due [or likely overdue!] for the 5000k service, but a month of no speedo, means no k's ticking over.

getting sick of chasing them up about it all the time....talk about freakin hopeless.
