LowRyter Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 I wonder if anyone has as the computed speed for riding the v11 sport in top gear at 4k, 5k, and 6k rpms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Indicated speed (ala Vagueliar) or actual speed (ala GPS)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowRyter Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Indicated speed (ala Vagueliar) or actual speed (ala GPS)? I wanted actual actual. like tire circumference times X gears X RPM. I thought someone might have that. calculated speed from RPM in top gear. at 6k it's going pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abouc Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I figured out the following info within the first 3 months of owning my bike because research showed it was only a matter of time before the speedo crapped out - and it did. At 3000rpm (in any gear except 1st) is going the same mph as the gear x10. e.g. 3,000 rpm in 3rd is 30mph, 3,000rpm in 4th is 40mph, 3,000rpm in 5th gear is 50. 3,000 in 6th gear does NOT make for a happy V11. In 5th gear 5,000rpm is 80mph. 6th gear at 5,000rpm is approximately 90mph. I would estimate that 6,000 is in the triple digits . Since mid-June I've done about 5,000 miles of trouble free riding on those figures. However, I've finally purchased a replacement speedo cable/drive because the bike feels REALLY good around (and above) 6,000. All vibes go away and it just rides beautifully. Without the speedo telling me how fast I'm going it's way too easy to justify that good feeling instead of slowing back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Today, I saw the following in 6th gear using ZUMO GPS: 4,000 rpm: 67 mph 5,000 rpm: 83 mph Didn't try for 6,000 as I was in a 55 mph zone with traffic. Also, the Sport has a 160 profile rear tire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pulls like a train really. that's one reason I wanted to know the speed. whoever set up the tune made a strong midrange on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that 6k would put it about 101 mph (I think I have the narrow rear tire...quick handling) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motowarren Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Well what is the actual final drive ratio? I've read 4.37 but then there's these primary reduction ratios of 1.6842 and secondary reduction ratios of 2.909 how do they figure in? because I've calculated a lot of different scenarios with a .8519 6th gear ration and a 25 in tall tire (170/60x17) and I'm not coming up with your numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom M Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I wonder if anyone has as the computed speed for riding the v11 sport in top gear at 4k, 5k, and 6k rpms? I ran the numbers a few years back but I haven't verified them with GPS or radar. From http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=13940&hl=speed RPM = MPH 8000 = 141.39 7500 = 132.55 7000 = 123.72 6500 = 114.88 6000 = 106.04 5500 = 97.21 5000 = 88.37 4500 = 79.53 4000 = 70.7 3500 = 61.86 3000 = 53.02 2500 = 44.18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at all your previous calculations the 1.6842 primary reduction times the 2.909 secondary reduction equals 4.89 which is the final drive ratio and the 4.37 that I found somewhere else on the net is bogus.
