Title: speed test with stock gearing Post by: dreth on January 19, 2005, 06:21:11 PM my honda 450r with stock sprockets, hrc cam , no lid , sparks filter and pipe, 190 main jet , 22" fronts and 20" rears equaled the following speeds on a gps
1st gear = 37mph 2nd gear = 48mph 3rd gear = 58mph 4th gear = 69mph 5th gear = 73mph with plenty to go but it was dark , i ran out of room, and i had to hold and read the gps with one hand and drive with the other. i will get a top speed in the daylight and post it. all speeds except 5th gear were rev limiter speeds and i rounded the decimal part down. the purpose of this is so i know about how fast we ride the trails.

The TRX hit like 87 with 22 inch tires and the mods dreth has :o

Title: Re: speed test with stock gearing Post by: TRX450R_Racer on January 19, 2005, 06:59:22 PM With stock gearing and a full HMF system. I got 78.5 MPH with a GPS on a smooth dirt road. It felt like I had a little left, but it was getting a little out of control so I let off.

Title: Re: speed test with stock gearing Post by: Ida_Mann on January 20, 2005, 04:38:39 AM I hit 67 with my stock gearing and it wouldn't go anymore,,,but of course I weigh in about 100# more than the average rider, AND had a 5gal gas can on the front rack.
yes, I installed a rack on my 400ex, sue me ;-) Id@ Title: Re: speed test with stock gearing Post by: LakeMaryKid on January 20, 2005, 05:34:51 AM Yeah chuck, thats what im talkin about! ;D
