Thats the great thing with bike motors.
Infinite gearing possibilities.
Just change one gear @ a time and record results.
It appears to be 4:1 right now.
10 teeth on tranny 40 teeth on diff. (as best as i can count from the pics)
say you're twisting 6500rpm @ 60mph
Change tranny gear to 12 teeth and you are down to 3.33:1
now your twisting 4875rpm @ 60mph
add infinitum.
what a great way to increase engine load by reducing rpm @ speed.
if load gets too great you just change back up.
If the engine would produce enough torque you could lope down the highway @ 60mph twisting ~ 1500rpm.
That'd get you real close to 100mpg.
Just another way of looking at the equation.
Have fun.
