crusing speed of spec 3

[Singularity]

i've sat on my fren's verS as pillion and noticed that his cruising speed of 85kmh only requires 5000 rpm, on my own spec 3, cruising on 5000 rpm only yields 80kmh.. issit a normal thing or there's something wrong with my bike oO

It shud be normal as mine also 80km/h at 5000rpm...I think its due to the changes in gear ratios. Ver S is an old model, so the stock gear ratios in the old model and new ones are quite diff..

[dumbnut]

Sprocket Sizes play a part too. My version S, the rear sprocket is 42.

 

 

If i be not mistaken, for the vtec's it's 44 at the rear

spec2 5krpm 80km speed.

I never noticed what speed i am at 5k RPM i always see when reach bout 6.5-6.9 RPM on gear 6 just before the VTEC engage im goin bout 105-110. Mine is a spec 3 rear sprocket is 46.

[BioMoDiFIed]

Funny thing is, my fren's boldor reaches 100km/h at 5500rpm...i oso scratching head...he says he using stock drive train....no changes...

[jB]

ever thought about +/- abit negligible? things like tyre thickness, boxes added and road conditions etc considered ?

[PitsTopz]

spec2 5krpm 80km speed.

oO i tot vtec kicks in around 6350?

[zelot]

its correct.

5k 80km/h

 

Spec III vtec in final gear kicks in ard 7k rpm.

your speed will be ard 110km/h based on rear sproc that is 45.

Just to add abit,Non Vtec models get their reading from front wheel whereas vtec ones gets from the gearbox,so if you get a 45 or even 50th rear sprocket,the reading on the meter and rpm will be the same.Except when you get a vtec with stock gearing 15th front and 44th rear,his 80km/h and your is totally different.

 

As for the bolder that does 100km/h on 5.5Krpm,thats wierd...

[Singularity]

oO tt's something i didnt noe

[hellkeeper]

i got a question as well i usually ride my bike like from 100 to 120

 

so can you guys tell me wht non v tec rpm for you guys when at 100 and 120

 

couz i was thinking my biking is on high rpm while i m at 120km

 

and ya when i m at 80 my bike rpm is at 5K rpm

 

i got BP1 , non vtech

[hellkeeper]

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO can any body tell me ?

[JbAtRaCeR]

Bro,maybe you can ask in the non vtec forum.

[IvikaRazI]

Just to add,

 

When you change sprocket(Bigger or smaller), the speedo and the milage is affected. Do take note where the meter records this. Some bikes, measure from the wheel (This will not be affect much, should be accurate throughtout). If yours is a Vtec model (Used to ride 1), the speed and milage is calculated from the engine. You will need to re-tune or set another speedo on the bike to make it accurate.

 

Simple experiement (For Vtec, other model not sure). You will need 1 stock and 1 bike with sprocket change to big/small. Ride the same distance, you will see that the milage, to the same place, is very different. This not only may affect the resale value, also may set you thinking that yours have a high/low feul consumption.

 

In one way, you are bluffing yourself. (Not offending anyone...just sharing info). As for re-tune the speedo, I think Carb cannot do, EFI got speedohealer to set the speedo to the correct setting.

Aiyah.. his meter spoil liaoz lah.. LOL

[1Seth1]

5k ard 83km/h...

[loyjwe]

mine spec 3 also 5k=80km/h. for vtec 6th gear open at 7k? thot it will open at ard 6.3 so didnt want to go above tat

[1Seth1]

eh? spec 3 also got 6 gears ah? i didn't know that...

[rayhunter]

if not wrong any gear below 6th will open vtec @ ard 6.3

[eement]

lol spec 1 oso got 6th gear leh

[rayhunter]

how about PB1, Ver R,S? all are geared with 6 gears too ya?

[1Seth1]

lol spec 1 oso got 6th gear leh

 

wow.. must be some damn unique spec 1 man. cos my spec 1 only got 5 gears my friend...

[1Seth1]
