its just the speedo. The bike itself can go up to around 305

Seems most bikes can go 100kph on first gear... So I guess it ain't amazing that a new Chev Corvette can do 106kph in first...

That's the marketing peoples' way of saying the gear box is buggered and you can't change into 2nd...

"... and it does 65mph in first!"

What's the best you can wring out of your Yami in top?
got to 260 and gave up lol just hit 6th

Like yours, mine gets to about 108 at about 11k.
yea

Do you know anyone who might have a 49/50 tooth rear for a YZF?
i have no idea try a yamaha shop lol

Does anyone know anyone who has one?
donno

Does anyone know if a 750 rear will fit straight onto a 600?
donno would need to compare manuals

If yes, (they are compatible) does anyone know anyone who might, or has, said 49/50 tooth sprocket?
donno

i have a full manual here and a online fzr one very much the same

wow i been doing it wrong

originally my custom moped had gearing that when I got a flat i would put the bike in first gear and let it idle and jog beside it save wrecking the tyre. I lowered the gearing to get off the mark a little quicker and the next time I got a flat i could walk while it idled in firs and it was down the bottom of a big hill

first gear does about 25kmh from a 48cclifan thats about half flogged to death

Mate it sounds like your Hornet could do with a tune - I'm pretty sure I can get 320 out of mine in third.

i know my k4 600 did 125km/h in first hitting rev limiter, with stock gearing, no idea now since i have changed the gearing and what so have you.

I know when they 04 zx10r came out there was raving about being able to do 160km/h in first gear

Most moden sporst bike have race gear boxs, which have very TALL first gears then rest are close ratio

**MaxCannon** · 4th January 2009, 18:57

The bandit does 60kph in first and 120kph in second

**Reido** · 4th January 2009, 20:28

umm about 50kmph,

**bladez** · 4th January 2009, 20:54

never tryed 1st gear but i would say around 70-80mph 2nd gear 130mph 2k on redline

**koba** · 4th January 2009, 21:01

MY NC21 VFR400 does about 75-80 in first.
WAAY different gearing to an NC30, they have a more race type box with a high first and closer ratios after that.
Plus it redlines at 13000 compared to the NC30 14500
