97 mph
« on: May 09, 2005, 11:15:57 AM »
Just went to Johnson valley OHV with my K5, I have a gps unit and for fun wanted to see how fast I could go. 97mph was it. I know with better areo clotes ext I could gain a few mph. I can not beleive how stable the bike is at that speed too, fells like a street bike.

What was your gearing?  I'm guessing 15/47?  14/45?

I did 91.5MPH on all stock. Just a pipe and silincer.
On 14/47 gears

Thinking of going to 15/47 gearing????

I'd love to brake 100MPH, just to be able to say I did it on a drit bike.

I am running 16/47 with 17" wheels 150 width 70% aspect ratio which is as near as dammit the same as Brians 14/40.

You don't need a very long stretch of road to rev it out.

you are startin to sound like a 4 stroker..... :lol:
I don't know much, but I know one thing is that I gear the bike so its almost topped out by the end of a straight stretch....two teeth on the rear makes a huge difference on a race track......the bike is faster and does better lap times when I gear it more to be on the pipe......the KX500 is a ass kickin mo fo.... then put 17's on it....wow it still makes me smile when I get off it.....I'd like to get another one just for offroad.... :twisted:  I'm ordering a 36 tooth rear and off to the roadrace track I goo.......

OK, I haven't got the highest gearing in the forum (14/38 on a 150/60/18)...

Just curious how you can you fit sprocket like 16 teeth? 14 is the biggest I can fit without tearing the chain guard to pieces. 14 leaves me with 2 mm left to the chain guard.

I take lower screw off of the chain guard and turn guard bit. Then 16 teeth fit just and just to my old -86 KX. I don't know is there difference between -86 and newer engine blocks?

My KX's rear wheel is old Honda RS250 (not orig, Marvic?) 4,5" cast wheel.
