520 -1 and +2 gearing?

 

When the rain dies down I will wander out to the shed and have a look, I was just wondering if it was restricted but I'm seeing other restricted at 186

 

Mine has stock gearing and the speedo tops at 186, which doesn't mean much since I know it's off at that speed. But I'd say your geared down.

 

please count your teeth or something i would be happy with 155 160 for the street anyday how often do you go faster than that

 

It's fast, but my 02 600 GSXR was geared down and topped out at 135. My friend has an 04 Busa and there's times when there's a clearing on the highway. My friend with the busa swears the more miles he put on his 954RR the slower it went. :th_SmlyROFL:

 

So what's the teeth count?

 

did you ever find out?

 

if its an early 04 the speedo only reads 75% of actual speed due to a factory screw up .

 

The rear is 44T

 

Yep...+2 in the rear...no ****! Might want to check the front sprocket too, see if it's 15 or 16. You should be already corrected at the speedometer if it's reading 150 at 6th MAX RPM.

 

I can only get up to around 155/160 or so down the main straight at thunderhill before I have to brake for turn 1. You running out of track or what?

LOL

What RPM you hitting in what gear? Is it rev limiting in 6th?

Seems like you might be asking if you shouldn't have greater acceleration along that straight, resulting in higher speed before you reach your brake point. What track is this anyway?

[Sorry if any of this was already given and I missed it.]

 

-1,+2 for me shows 160-165 mph on gps.

oem dash at the same time indicates 185.

 

have you tried shifting to 6th?

Just joking, check to make sure your speedo is reading correctly. Use another vehicle to calibrate your speedo.

That is funny. Just go to the car rental and let them know what you are needing to do. Shouldn't take long.

 

^ LOL

 

Does it have a speedohealer?

 

If the bike is geared down it should be even easier to get the speedo to read in the 150+ area. The lower you gear the bike the more off and higher the speedo reads. 150 indicated is more like high 130's. When you gear the bike lower ie +1-2 150 indicated will be an even slower actual speed. If you are running out of track that is I different thing all together. I try not to look at the speedo when on the track. Put a piece of tape over and look at lap times.

A +1/-2 would gear the bike higher, not lower.
