Wow perfect if anyone remembers the page the graph was on it would be appreciated, Gun Rod when doing 80 what gear are you in and what rpms if you remember, and yea I live in miami and orlando so pretty much everything is flat. All I am looking for is to be able to do something like 60-70 mph in 4th under or around 4000 rpm if that is possible, without having to rev to like 3000rpm just to get the bike movingQuote:

Comfortable cruise 60-65 (5th). Start up needs 2000 rpm. 3rd gear great around town low rpm & great sound.

wow perfect, this was exactly what I was looking for, thanks a lot man, and I dont know about the gear chart that was on here but here is the site I would like to use to http://www.gearingcommander.com/ to predict all of this out, too bad it doesnt have our bike in its database yetQuote:

The DF has an electronic speedometer with the pickup off the front wheel so changing the rear sprocket has no effect. I know the speedometer is very optimistic. I'll run a check if I can find my GPS.
I thought the DF used a cable driven speedo and driven from the front hub.Maybe there's a difference between model years or maybe I just mistaken.Quote:
