Chart of redline & speed in each gear

Hi All.

Could someone please direct me to a link / article with the speed at redline for each gear? I looked around on this site and the web (in general) and did not find it. I don't have the owner's manual for my bike --in case it's in there…. thanks
(2004 vfr800)

 

1st = Secret Hyper
2nd = Hyper Active
3rd = Lite Speed
4th = Ridiculous Speed
5th = Ludicrous
6th = Plaid

Iknow the top speeds for
1st about 70
2nd is 86
and 3rd is 120

havent tested the others enough to be sure tho i think 4th is about 140, that's what it is on my a2 vtec anyways, think gearing is stock

 

Thanks. I doubt I'll get passed 8000rpm. Just curious about what this thing can do.

 

past 8000 is where all the fun is.

 

Yeah once you hit vtec you wont wanna just stop at 8k

 

Understood. But rpms over 8000 are also loud. I like accelerating hard without drawing a lot of attention… I'd like about 10-15 more ft-lbs in the 3000-5000 range. a very small low pressure turbo would work.

 

See some of Toe Cutter's posts on turbo charging the VFR.. The solution to the specific problem is lowering your overall gear ratios and using a stock pipe.

Another consideration would be installing an NO2 system.

 

I'm surprised no one answered your question. Guess there aren't many racers here. Use www.gearingcommander.com . They allegedly have a data base of over a 1000 bikes with associated gearing. You will find stock gearing info. and charts you can customize to explore gearing changes.

 

Thanks Jim. This is a very cool site. It should be "stickied" (don't know how to do that..)

 

Dropping the overall gear ratio by adding teeth would address the OP's wants. Staying below 8K or so when the cams kick in on the VTec is a matter of throttle control and pucker factor. VFR's with stock mufflers are apologetically quiet, hence a shitload of outfits making mufflers and complete exhaust systems for almost any bike one can think of.

Great site for doing the math but to assume that nobody ever raced or does not race because they chose not to answer a pretty dumb question is guessing.

Shit if the dude want low rpm torque, buy a Harley. I would suppose somebody makes mufflers for those that are quiet. Probably not found in Harley botiques though.

Now what I want to do is figure out how fast one can go in reverse on a Goldwing. After that some research on how to put one of those Honda cartridge gearboxes from a 500cc GP bike on my mach 1 91.

 

Boy do you ramble on! I wonder about your comprehension skills also. Check out the OP's question. My reply was in answer to what he asked. Yours was, I'm assuming here, the ramblings of a, dare I say it, Badbilly.

 

I'm good at posting websites too.

The question became a no brainer real quick. On the face he wanted a bunch of data from a website, then started putting conditions on the answer, like I want to go fast but not make much noise but I don't want to really have the VTec kick in @ 8K or so but then again I need the max speeds in all six gears at redline. Yo Comprendo bien..

If you scroll up on the thread the short answer is right there. Drop the overall gear ratio

So do you really "race' a VFR.. I hope it's against other VFRs because they don't really make good racebikes and does not include the OP who might get off the line real quick but get shit on in the straights.

Between guessing and wondering what you might do is RTFT. (New unrpronouncible acronym)

Never stated I race a VFR. No modern VFR even tuned could compete in a race series and be successful. However, plenty of amateur race clubs allow them to be raced. In amateur racing most times it comes down to the rider, not the bike.

 

Dude, it was a question not an accusation. Yep, run what ya brung is very democratic. So in your racing circles is amateur aka club

racing unpaid? IMO,that is carrying socialism a bit too far. The way you dudes get hosed for those VAT and basically embargo fees for parts is robber Hell we tossed the English out of the US for that shit years ago..

The rider vs bike thing is really profound as long as they don't start running the 125's against the VMax's. Unless it's a Go cart track.

I am going to try back calculating using some of those plug ins to see if it's feasible to run a Goldwing at Bonneville whilst in reverse. I need those 15 minutes of fame..

 

Good grief. Is there an unlike button?

Thanks, Jim for the help. Appreciated...

 

There is an ignore function available. Best IMO is a panic button at about 8K rpm and some earplugs. Even better is two links out of your chain and add two teeth to your rear sprocket.
