81 GS650 Gear Ratios

[rahlberg]

I know this may be a simple question, but I'll be darned if I can't find it anywhere:

What are the gear ratios for an 81 GS650?

Thanks

I found this

Mr. rahlberg,

For the 650G (shaft drive, right?) I believe they are Gear ratios, 1st
1st
2.678 (36/14) x (25/24)
2nd
1.851 (32/18 ) x (25/24)
3rd
1.438 (29/21) x (25/24)
4th
1.171 (27/24) x (25/24)
5th
1.000 (Direct)

And the final drive for the shaft-drive models is 3.090 (34/11).


Just to complete the details, the transmission ratios for the chain-drive models are:

1st
2.750 (33/12)
2nd
1.812 (29/16)
3rd
1.368 (26/19)
4th
1.142 (24/21)
5th
1.000 (22/22)

No mention is made on this page of the Clymer book as to the tooth count on the stock sprockets.
