6Th gear... 5.5th gear??? + censored shift speeds
Posted: 10 May 2010 04:33 am
not looked at manual but I know 5th is bolted on "outside" the box, can the cogs be swapped giving lower revs in top gear?
I know it can cruise at 50 with less accelerator so what options have I got for cog sizes, I want 5th to be more like a 6th, double the drop in ratio, get 21+MPH per 1000RPM or so, its about 14MPH or something as standard. feels like that.
Rather not change the final drive since 1,2,3,4 are all useable gears, just wish fifth had a few more teeth, I would get a few more miles.
Also anyone have the unaltered maximum/minimum recommended shift speeds, the manual doesn't give a recommended shift from 4th to 5th, almost definitely because that shift is at about 80/90MPH, and in the UK that's illegal unless you are rich and paranoid- - but I'd still like to know what speed the designers thought appropriate, before the editors (E.U. or some equal annoyer) got their hands on the manual.
