does not meen it has less miles then indicated. Even though your bike doesnt go as far with high gearing does not meen the RPM's are not turning the same as with the old gearing. Just because your bike doesnt "roll" as far at the same rpm doesnt not meen the motor didnt turn just as many times as it used too.

That is all carry on

 

+1....

 

O' come on now all the guys saying there bike only has half the miles cause the sprocket are gonna be pissed!....haha

 

 

I think that the ode. should go off of the motor anyhow...

 

Isnt the work on the engine MORE with gearing anyways? i mean more rotational mass requires more work????

 

But is it really more rotaional mass? My sprocket weighs less than my stock did

 

The motor has a much higher mechanical advantage than before. Wouldn't that mean less work for the motor?

 

technically it doesn't matter what your gearing, or what your riding style, mileage is mileage plain and simple.

If you gear your bike, and don't fix the speedo and it's off, then yes, your bike has less miles then indicated.

Or just compare to racers, who keep their bike at almost redline their bikes entire lift, but run stock gearing, their mileage is true correct

 

Just because the bike rolled less doesnt meen the engine didnt turn just as many RPM's (or more in some cases) then it did with the factory gearing. You can say the tires and wheel bearings have less miles on them though

 

The motor is turning more RPM's to go the same distance as it did before.

 

Just buy the $108 Speedohealer if you are worried about the mileage. Takes 5 minutes to install, 1 minute to program. Problem solved.

 

What problem? Tons of people who are selling there stuntbikes always say it has less miles because it is geared. Not a problem, a discussion.

 

motor spins twice as fast than before and puts half as many miles so mileage would be just about right and that was just an example cause i no someone will bust out gearing ratios to try to prove it wrong

 

plain and simple. if your odometer is electronically engine sensor based then geared or not then that IS the true and correct milage... unless its a swapped speedo. the gearing effects wear and tear on the motor as far as 1st/2nd gear tricks and engine braking, thats what puts the extra pressure on parts. the only distinction is that motor milage will be different from the parts or rolling chassis milage.

 

.................................................. ....................................... who cares?









get like 5 bikes together set ur trip and ride 100 miles and then stop and look at the tripometers they will all be different, bike speedos and odometers arent that accurate to begin with especially the faster you go.

 

just ride without gauges then when you finally put them on you will have low mileage

 

I believe someone cares , if someone post then they really do care.



I suck

 

no tire is EXACTLY the same height even tho it says on the side wall. no tire is an exact same match so yes even two bike that have stock gearing that make the same trip over long periods of time can be slightly different but this is over a long period of time of course take it or leave it

 

Who cares about RPMs done, miles are miles, not RPMs
