was it a 16t or 15t front sprocket? what mods you did on ur bike?

 

was the guy who clocked you using stock sprocket sizing?

 

truthfully im feeling a lil skeptical cause i used a 40t on rear before too and i could not hit that kinda speed. unless its a really really REALLY long straight? i cant really remember what rpm i was at (it was almost 2 years ago), but i suppose it was around 14k-ish rpm?

15T front.

 

Clocked by Cl2 digital speedo.

 

40T on rear very fast hit max. You just need to be daring and go into red.

hei... wat e top 4 a stock bike... bcoz i oly hit 192..

den my rpm is around 13k oly.. my rear is 39 or 40 if i not worng.. my bike is a fr plate.. izzit gt power cut..

Stock RVF has powercut at 180km/h. Some bikes cut at 190km/h.

Speedometer powercut.

 

Bend the metal strip behind the speedo and the powercut is removed.

my rear t is 45 top onli 200 ba than i can feel the pull back .....sad....... itzz my rear t too many ?

[TeRrYBEaR]

sometimes its depen on e rider dare to drag or not. if u start draging from gear 1 and change gear just before the rpm hit the red zone. you will hit max speed at 4th gear. for stock bike without power cut.

 

and if you never drag and just change every gear at ard 8 or 9 rpm and up to top gear and then u open up throttle. u will took ages to reach or never hit max unless your bike is fully mob and has enough power to pull at top gear..

thats a very nice helmet..

hey bro we should not drag into red. u will loss power by doing that. just drag until just before its hit the red zone and change gear can le. i once over drag before and my bike loss power.

The pull back is due to power cut, as stated in my previous post.

I personally feel 45T is overkill already. Unless it's a track bike.

My case was already in 6th gear bro.

 

If you are talking about fastest acceleration, power comes after 7k and peaks at 12k. So up shifting at 12k is ideal.

[jordan85]

i can clear meter at 4 gear but but i stilll gt up gear... n i gt go in red zone... nvm next time i go try again./ thank 4 help

im impressed. very. is your one is one of the faster rvfs out there? as i said care to share what mods you have?

 

i truthfully didnt believe 15/40 sprox can hit that kinda speed. thats why i said is the guy that clocked you using stock sprockets? or maybe my friend who clocked me wasnt using stock sprox too?

 

 

i have a friend, k5 600, last time when he changed sprox sizing, he was at 280km/hr, but another r1 beside him was at only 220km/hr

Stock RVF can hit 220 to 240km/h no problem.

Mods are for acceleration.

 

So if stock RVf takes around 20s to hit 240, a heavily modded one will maybe take 16s to 18s.

 

4s of time for your $$$.

240? wow. stock rvf? im really impressed now. please can you show me? ok lah as i mentioned im quite skeptical about it, but if you show me i'll prolly believe it. then i'll believe my friend riding a cbrL model was doing 250km/hr when he overtook me at 2nd link last time i really thought a stock geared one could only do around 220ish max. thou it had to be in very good stock condition. sry ah, maybe i suaku.

 

mods are not only for acceleration. mods are for more POWER which translates to more acceleration of course and more power to push the bike at higher rpms to hit 'higher speeds'. and blah blah blah blah blah more FC blah blah blah...

 

 

oh yah, just to add, zod and ahbit83, u mind putting ur signature pics side by side? it really covers 1 full screen lah of the monitor.. easier for everyone to read dont you think so?

[jordan85]

stock bike can really hit so fast meh... btw e metal strip easy 2 bend ma..

Torque affects acceleration.

Power affects top speed.

 

Most mods increase power by a little, but they increase torque more.

 

 

For eg, Goldwing have lots of torque but low power, compared to 600cc or 1000cc bikes which have lower torque but more power.

yes they do. but aiyah u read my prev posts properly, what am i saying? top SPEED right? im not really asking you how long you need to get there ya? thats not really answering my question leh.

 

i kinda agree when you said 'most mods increase power by a lil, but they increase torque more.' BUT im not really talking about that right? ok i shall ask again. very direct this time k?

 

what mods you did to make your bike hit that kinda top speed? assuming your friend who clocked you had a very accurate speedo. of course you can add in WHERE you did it (ok la let you talk about acceleration k?) im just curious.

Amba knows how to.

I asked my mech to do.

Hmm, actually not much mods.

I clocked that speed with a new set of EO, plugs, oil filter, KNN filter, Micron endcan, carb servicing, valve clearance.

 

Around 15 to 15.5k rpm. on 40T rear.

 

I used 37T before, got trouble hitting 13k.

hey guys... just wann to ask about power cut... cos i heard people tat there a chip to cut off power cut and it cost about $120 is that true??? if by bending the metal stip how much will it cost?? or can ownself do it??? anyone can help me about this??? thanks...

[TD_Chris]

fellow rvfians...need help

 

theory: 1nce a fren told me..to check if yr fork bearing or alignment of front all ok...while riding, let go of handle n bike should keep a gd str8 line...1stly is this true?

 

practical: when im takin a long corner..my bike's stable to take take the bend. but when i take like a sudden corner..more like normal main road turn into minor road kinda sudden small turn...i feel my front turns in faster (both sides) than it used to...more like i feel the front pullin me down in a weird way..n should i follow the momentum i drop lower than i tot id go...*sorry if dreamin..but the bike seems to have a slight skiddin kinda feeling

 

sorry but thats the only way i seem to be able to explain wats happenin..n if the theory given about the let go handle thing is true..then fyi..my bike runs perfectly str8 when ridings hands off

 

any idea any1...cos cny is comin..n i know i dunt wana put my bike in shop n wait long long...im pretty comfortable wif the bike in every aspect..then that when i go like seriously takin a corner..the above mentioned happens. if i take it like a normal sunday breeze..then perfectly fine.

 

and issit me..or am i noticing more potholes on every other road?

 

advice guys..appreciate

Yes, it sells for $120 to $150.

Why not you give me $120 and I remove the powercut for you?

 

 

Seriously, don't waste money. Next time you go service, ask your mech to bend for you. FOC.
