My '82 spins about 4.6/4.7k at indicated 70 mph. 40-tooth rear sprocket with 630 chain.
I'm curious to know what other 1100EZ/EDs are revving.

Yes, I made a typo.
But let's see...four answers, one is serious, the other three are snide comments. On this site? How shocking! "Surprise, surprise!" as Gomer Pyle would have said.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

Stock sprockets are 15 teeth up front and 42 teeth in the rear. At 70mph with oem-sized tires your engine will be spinning at 4450 rpm in 5th gear.GS450E GS650E GS700ES GS1000E GS1000G GS1100G GS1100E

The way my ten-speed works, smaller in the back equals less rpms for my engine (feet).
I can't see why my motorcycle would be any different.1982 GS1100E V&H "SS" exhaust, APE pods, 1150 oil cooler, 140 speedo, 99.3 rear wheel HP, black engine, '83 red

15/50 is a huge jump from stock, 19% lower. Unless you have something wrong in your numbers there is no way that would seem to be the same. If you ran 4500rpm before you would now be running 5355rpm at the same speed.
The chain size has nothing to do with it, the drive reduction is only based on the number of teeth on each sprocket.
