..the actual REVLIST!

....back from first Test with the new gear ratio 1:2,875! Mates, it's shorter than I thought(!), but suits perfect for narrow and winding streets and hairpins. I would guess that the topspeed has reduced around 20-25km/h. Nothing you can use for a journey, but the whole bike feels much more "light" and you never have the feeling that the engine is really working hard.

It reves very easy and also changing gears is now as smooth as it never was before. i.e. When you approach to a turn in higher speed, shift down and accelerate in in the middle of it, you have the feeling that it has less influence on the drivetrain. No bucking at all - very comfortable.

The actual speeds in comparison to revs in 5th gear are: 80kmh - 4400Umin, 100kmh - 5500Umin, 120kmh - 6600Umin, 140kmh - 7700Umin, 160kmh - 8800Umin. As you see, quite short, but exciting to drive. Of course you always have to keep in mind that a 750 aircooled carburetor engine is not as "hot" as a modern 750 watercooled injection.

The next useful thing might be a Dynojet Stage 1 Kit, which should give a better performance at midrevs. Let's see!!
