94 transalp 600. 5,000 revs at 100kph?
Hi it's Bryn on Tom's profile.
Normal road riding i'm up about 5,000 revs just to get 100kph out of my bike. This surely isn't normal? I'm carrying panniers and bags on the back which I guess will have something to do with it but it still seems a little excessive. I'm wondering is someone played with the gearing before I bought the bike, or I'm running the wrong sprockets. But I have the recommended number of teeth on both. Am I completely missing something here? Still have power in reserve at 5,000 and can make 130 kph if needed but she gets a little vibraty!
I've ridden my XL 600V from the uk to Iran so probably should have asked this question earlier. Not a great depth of knowledge on motorbikes so any help greatly appreciated.
Happy riding,
Bryn
