The bike seems to be happy at 110km/h @ 4500rpm.
Also when does the secondary feul jet?, kick in?
I found info on the XT forum but not for this bike??

i have a xl600lm with 16inch gpz wheels.i run standard 15 up front and 39 rear for motorway riding.then if i am doing a lot of street riding or trail riding i put a 13 on the front and can just about get the right tension on the chain.with the 13 up front its that small that the chain links have worn 0.5mm off the retainer plate nuts.apart from that no problems i can cruise at 65 at 4000rpm on long motorway runs.although i would not ride two up or with heavy luggage with this gearing.goodluck ian.
