Title: Stock Top Speed?
Post by: BigGreenMachine on September 21, 2006, 07:32:56 AM

What is it?

Anyone have the gear ratios so I can plug it in to the top speed calculator on Everything2Stroke.com so I can get a baseline where I need to be gearing wise?

14/47 is stock gearing - I don't recall the internal gear ratios though :( I'll have to look around, I seem to recall a spreadsheet I had around that was already setup with the KX500's information...

Ahh here is that spreadsheet (http://www.kxriders.com/forums/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item9)

Remember kiddies, I've got stuff all over this place, all you gotta do is dig ;)

Thats cool but I don't have the gear to use the speadsheet. All I need are the internal gear ratios and primary drive ratio.

First Gear    2 : 1  (violent loop outs)
  Second Gear    1.45 : 1  (hangs nasty power wheelies forever)
  Third Gear    1.181 : 1   (now the 500 is hauling a$$)
  Fourth Gear    0.954 : 1  (good cruising gear)
  Fifth Gear    0.791 : 1    (now your eyes start to water )
