What is the AVG speed you do on the Highway

reroka · June 10th, 2014, 03:32 AM

So when you get on the freeway what is the vg speed you do and what gear?

Most of my drive is freeway, I travel in 5th gear around 70 MPH. I am somewhere around 9k RPMS.

Motofool · June 10th, 2014, 03:54 AM

80 mph indicated.

70 mph in 5th should give you higher rpms; you may be in 6th gear.

reroka · June 10th, 2014, 04:03 AM

Nope I am in 5th at 9 to 10 RPMS

Ytse Frobozz · June 10th, 2014, 05:06 AM

On my morning commute I generally don't go above around 85mph indicated, which means I should be in the 75-80 range. Through my vast collection of empirical data, I have determined that the LEOs on my stretch of 495 are tolerant of any speed below 80 (speed limit is 65), but above that is the danger zone. I think I'm at about 10-10.5k RPM at that speed in 6th gear. I should probably go to a 15 tooth sprocket, but, I dunno. I'm lazy.

cbinker · June 10th, 2014, 05:08 AM

5-10 over posted speed, always keeping traffic behind me.

DaBlue1 · June 10th, 2014, 05:30 AM

70-75 mph @ 7-7.5K rpms in 6th. Rarely do I use 5th in the Hwy for cruising. Roads where the speed limit is below 60 mph or steep inclines is where I use 5th or lower.

With your gearing, you can be in 6th and still have plenty power in the 8K range.
9-10k wastes gas if you're trying to save it.(IMO)

NevadaWolf · June 10th, 2014, 06:02 AM

About 5-10 over the speed limit up to 70mph, 6th gear, I think around 7-9k RPM. Never really pay attention to my tach, I just shift by listening to the engine.

Bigballsofpaint · June 10th, 2014, 06:09 AM

About 81-83 indicated. Which is about 75-78. Like one poster above, above 80 and your likely to get pulled over here. Under that and never an issue. Limit is 65 in my area.

GHill762 · June 10th, 2014, 06:14 AM

a little faster than I should.. I typically hit 90 at least once in my commute, unless I take back roads, then I'm driving a little slower but having a lot more fun

I just go about 5 mph faster than the flow of traffic.

run in 6th
5th to pass

reroka · June 10th, 2014, 08:17 AM

Now when I am doing this it's in the morning. In the afternoon if I did this I would be around 12k RPMS. I am not sure why I run higher RPMS in the after noon than I do in the morning..

capt_bugaloo · June 10th, 2014, 08:20 AM

I tend to go maybe 5-6 mph over the speed limit, otherwise you get impatient folks riding your bumper.

When I'm on the freeway, I'm usually on vacation and not in a hurry to get anywhere.

Worldtraveller · June 10th, 2014, 08:37 AM

Typically 5-8 over. If I have a rabbit (aka, a car going significantly faster), I'll usually pace them from a safe distance so the LEOs spot them first.

I save the fast stuff for the way out backroads, or the really fast stuff for the track, though.

My general rule is: never more than ~70% of what I feel I'm capable of on the streets. On some backroads that I know well, I'll push that up to 85-90%, but I always try to leave room for the unexpected **** (we have a road around here we call Dead Animal Memorial Road for a reason....).

I only go full out on the track.

Snake · June 10th, 2014, 08:40 AM

I average around 80mph at around 10K rpm.

reroka · June 10th, 2014, 08:43 AM

I plan on going lower than the 14/42 as I can hit 90 real easy in 6th real easy. I hit 110 on the speedo but it took me a bit.

I thought about goint to a 14/39. not sure if I would sufer on hills when at a stop though.

Good info man,

I will look in to this. RIght now I know the bike is runnnig great. The only issues I have had is, not being able to install a 15t front sproket. Which I think I know why now. I bought it used and after looking at the shift pedel it looks bent. So I am thinking that that is why it wount go above 2nd gear with the 15t front sproket. The other issue is the tach showing higher RPMS in the after noon. My MPGs are at 60.2 and that is pretty good considering how I ride my 250, which is fast.

Either the flow of traffic in the fast lane or 10-15mph over posted. 90% of the time I am riding with the flow of traffic.

reroka · June 10th, 2014, 09:12 AM

Where do you get this part. I just called my local store and they told me to adjust my idle knob in the after noon and again in the morning to fix the issue.

Like a couple members already said, 5-10 over depending on traffic.

what sprockets you using again? 110 indicated? at what revs?
I have 12' with stock sprockets and I don't think I can't hit 100 indicated with out being into the redline by at least 500rpms, 110 and I would have to be past 14k I would imagine.

Depends on how I feel about that particular stretch of highway (5-0 presence

). Rarely under 80mph indicated regardless generally a bit faster

reroka · June 10th, 2014, 10:25 AM

Currently I am using a 14/42
I have order the parts I need so I can go to a 15/42

When my seedo said 110 I am sure I was going 100.00 but I was at 12.5k rmps. just about 13k rps. I had her maxed out. Wont do it again as I pissed my shorts.

iamjacob · June 10th, 2014, 11:28 AM

My commute is 30% 6 lane freeway (3 each way), 50% 2 lane highway (1 each way). The freeway bit is 80-85 average indicated but the highway part is only 45-65 depending on traffic.

cadd · June 10th, 2014, 11:29 AM

65mph speed limit here on the interstate (4 lanes each direction). Most motorists go 70-75mph (according to GPS in my car) in the fast lane. I do the same in my car. Tons of state troopers around my area.

On the bike, I'm in lane #2 going 70-80mph (indicated). Everyone here seems happy with that. This way I don't get passed often enough. Yet, I'm not going slow enough to slow down traffic (or have to stay in the right lanes and have to worry about cars entering the interstate).

I adjust my speed when passing others. Making sure I never stay in someone's blind spot for more than a second or two.

Basically I just follow the flow of traffic and adjust speed and lane position as I see fit.

alex.s · June 10th, 2014, 11:31 AM

+10 from traffic, regardless of the speed limit.

14/39 you will have to cut the chain. You'll be better off with 15/42, but keep in mind that you may want to do a few mods to help increase your power a little bit. Small hills are not a real problem, Mt grades are the issue.

The bike will ride fine, but it can ride better. If i were you I would double check and make sure you have the correct 15 tooth sprocket and competent mechanic.

They don't know what they are talking about. What you read, it has nothing to do with the idle knob. The OEM part can be bought new or used. New is better because you never know how a used part is going to function. There are a couple of other options.

reroka · June 10th, 2014, 11:47 AM

@dabule1

Here is the thing, since i have owned the bike I have figured out how to do a lot of stuff on my own that I used to be scared to do. For example adjust the chain. I did that, so if I can do that I am more than sure once I replace the shift mech. Because it was bent. I am sure I can do it my self. After watching them do it and all the stuff I have learned I should be able to do it my self....

Faster than the speed of traffic. Considerably.

Obviously this is an area of roadway with no speed limits whatsoever --- and I am not breaking any laws whatsoever, for the sake of discussion.

Pinned in 6th pushing 13.8krpm... usually not enough power to break 93 going 'up' the highway... slight incline.

Coming 'down' the highway, I keep my penor tucked at 93.. The bike just feels a little too squirrely over 95... the wobbing over road imperfections and the lack of power to just "power through the wobble".

93 feels comfortable and safe, I'd say that's cruising altitude.

JUST TO BE CLEAR -- those are the readings off my speedo, which is miscalibrated on the high side, just like yours. So when I say 93, I mean more like 85 ACTUAL speed.

You need new steering bearings or a new front rubber

corksil · June 10th, 2014, 02:30 PM

My front tire is in good condition, pretty new (rear tire changed at same time, and it's just starting to square off a little on the side I don't lean as far.) -- Air pressures are never more than one or two psi off spec when I check it.

Just checked the front wheel/bars for side to side play... none found.

Anything else to check? ^^^

5-10 over the posted speed limit, or with the flow of traffic if there is any. Around town on my commute this typically means 80mph, at which point I'm hitting 10-11K on the tach thanks to my fat arse.

Otherwise I prefer to take it a little slower. 65-70 on the open highway, a bit more on the interstate. What's the rush?

My front tire is in good condition, pretty new (rear tire changed at same time, and it's just starting to square off a little on the side I don't lean as far.) -- Air pressures are never more than one or two psi off spec when I check it. Just checked the front wheel/bars for side to side play... none found. Anything else to check? ^^^ __________________________________________________ Just batshit crazy.

Around town on my commute this typically means 80mph, at which point I'm hitting 10-11K on the tach thanks to my fat arse. Otherwise I prefer to take it a little slower. 65-70 on the open highway, a bit more on the interstate. What's the rush?
