Evening chaps,

Does any one on here know the max rpm in top gear of there gearbox sprocket/propshaft (Blade, R1, Busa etc) just curious as to how fast they spin! I probably could work it out but thought I’d ask first!

Cheers

At a guess, around 7000rpm when flat out, assuming approximately 12k red line on the engine, 1.6:1 primary reduction ratio (ratio of crank rpm to clutch rpm), and assuming a 1:1 top gear

Chris

its an bit less..

bikes don't have 1:1..
0,9 i thought it was..
i would guess 6500rpm..
on most BEC's

wy you ask?
