16/42 gear

[obseen]

what would be the top speed with a 16/42 setup ?

 

[atticdog]

178

 

[chevelle]

17-40,2.352=186
16-42,2.625=10.4 percent gear reduction
186 times 89.6=166.656 ad slip and this number will be even lower

 

[atticdog]

17-40,2.352=186
is only because you dont reach max rpm without a TRE
17-40 is actually good for around 198mph if you can reach max rpm

 

[atticdog]

this might help


you need to factor in variables such as wind, tire wear, if your fat, if your jackets balloons full of air

i disagree

 

[atticdog]

you think the busa can only do 186?

 

[atticdog]

its ecu limited to 186 not limited by gearing

 

[chevelle]

gear calculaters live in a perfect world where there is no slip,and you are making enough power to go a given speed

ok...so is it 178 or 166

and do any of u guys know what that would be in klms..

sorry i am from canada.....
damn no gap here...lol

 

[obseen]

i do have a TRE and a 4 into 1 DEVIL system and K&N filter and a POWER COMD....

 

[atticdog]

ok we'll split the difference and call it 172mph which is 276.7996kmh

i was also looking for the best tire but there r so many out there that i don't know what to get... any ideas???
i got some Z6 sports touring tire on there now but i realy don't like them much..

 

[atticdog]

Michelin Pilot Powers or Pirelli Diablos
or are you looking for a high milage sport touring tire?

 

[obseen]

milage doesn't really matter to me...i really just want something that is good..and Pirelli Diablos
was what i was thinking...is that what u run on your bike ?

 

[atticdog]

"Battlax BT 010 up front and a  BT 020 out back
Bridgstone Battlax's...a sport compound up front,and a touring compound out back"
rubbersidedown
I found this doing a search
sounds like a good combo for average rider

[atticdog]

yep i have the diablo's

 

[obseen]

the Z6's i got on there now r a good sports touring tire but when u get into a little higher speed and into the turn a little harder they do not hold up...
