Stock Top Speed?
« on: September 21, 2006, 07:32:56 AM »
What is it?

Anyone have the gear ratios so I can plug it in to the top speed calculator on Everything2Stroke.com so I can get a baseline where I need to be gearing wise?

14/47 is stock gearing - I don't recall the internal gear ratios though :( I'll have to look around, I seem to recall a spreadsheet I had around that was already setup with the KX500's information...

Ahh here is that spreadsheet

Remember kiddies, I've got stuff all over this place, all you gotta do is dig ;)

Thats cool but I don't have the gear to use the speadsheet. All I need are the internal gear ratios and primary drive ratio.
