Aaaaaaand there you go.. thanks kluven for proving me right

53mph @2000rpm = 79.5mph @ 3000rpm.

53mph is also close to 80kph which might explain the 80@2000rpm statement.




I'm going to be an argumentative so-and-so here



That was drivetribe "at a guess"...



Would effectively be the same as changing our current 5th's ratios, since ours does 80mph @ 3000rpm in 5th and the new bikes do 80mph @ 3000rpm in 6th... and nobody did this mod with the old bikes because.... (reasons)



Afaik you need either the Triumph manual/spec sheet, the paired gears' teeth numbers, or the input & output shaft speeds per gear (with accurate tacho & speedo readings), to determine gear ratios.
We don't have any of this info...

If you assume the speedo and tacho info from the pics/vids is accurate (just to get an approximate gear ratio), you will also need to know the crank vs the primary gear on the clutch ratio to determine input shaft speed,,,,,
need to know the circumference of the rear wheel (easy figure out) AND the final drive ratio, AND the torsional damper (if it has one) ratio, to determine output shaft speed....


There are a lot of unknowns there... unless there is another way of calculating gear ratios?




True but the imported bikes have English registrations (high certainty = mph)

Lookie what I found

"Final drive chain?" Right.

Yeah, OK, they didn't mean it that way............

Gets me that most of these "first impressions"vids seem to

I wonder if its a typo and supposed to be final drive train ? It happens still good eyes bud. I must admit I just grabbed it for the gear ratios. Kind of like the looks of them but then I don't usually have a passenger . Still not sure its worth the coin and I am willing to wait since I still get the grin on mine.

I think you should get one ! You gotta be getting tired of that old red one.

So what do you make of the gear ratios?

Tenner Reef really looks like a great place to ride.

I haven't had time to play with them. I see they all changed a little not as much as the primary. When I was scanning the book I thought I seen the secondary changed also. Ill have to look.
