I have Put info MPH and RPM on new tranny gears.

45 mph rpm__1700 in 4th gear  rpm_1200 in 5th gear
50 mph rpm__2000 in 4th gear  rpm_1300 in 5th gear
55 mph rpm__2100 in 4th gear  rpm_1500 in 5th gear
60 mph rpm__2400 in 4th gear  rpm_1800 in 5th gear
65 mph rpm__2600 in 4th gear  rpm_2000 in 5th gear
70 mph rpm__2900 in 4th gear  rpm_2100 in 5th gear
75 mph rpm__3100 in 4th gear  rpm_2300 in 5th gear
80 mph rpm__3400 in 4th gear  rpm_2500 in 5th gear
85 mph rpm__3500 in 4th gear  rpm_2600 in 5th gear
90 mph rpm__3700 in 4th gear  rpm_2800 in 5th gear

That is taking 2 passes at each speed and RPM measurement point and averaging out.... the OEM speedo and Tach were used.

Let me comment that at these higher speeds, you get a feeling of not going very fast, the bike is just loping along....

I KNOW that MPG will be affected greatly and I will document and post my MPG per tank.. I have a 97 Tourer with standard tank, not IS tank...
