    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Where do our GSs make the most power?

More or less in the RPM range, whats the "sweet spot"? Im trying to tune my sprocket set for this 530 conversion on the cafe, and it would kinda help to know. I'm guessing around 5500-6500 RPM. But this is based on where it feels most powerfull on my 1100G. This would be for a 77 750. Thanks guys!
 
WEEEEEE!!!! is right, but just because that's where it makes the most power, is not necessarily where you want to run it all the time. :-s

Just for more relaxed operation, better fuel mileage, lower noise, whatever else you want to throw in there, you might want to consider making that rpm range available with a downshift. 8-[

Right I dont want to hit the ton at redline. But i want the grunt off the line too. SO im kinda toying with this here.
 
I run two over stock on the rear and I like it. Better off the line and doesn't red-line at 80.
 
Well unfortunately, i have to play a bit of tiddly winks with the sizes, I got the damn thing (the bike) out of the basement today, got the motor in it, and put the 530 sprockets on. Ran into a snag. With the 1100 swinger conversion, the 14/43 i have wont let the chain clear the front of the swingarm. So i need AT LEAST a 16/45, but im worried bout the off the line power. Here, based on our gear ratios, is what that would work out to.

Gearing Calculations*** Min Max At Power GearMPH MPH MPH 1st:0 41 41 2nd:8 59 59 3rd:11 76 76 4th:13 93 93 5th:15 109 109
 
I don't know what kind of mods you've done, but my bike really starts to pull around 6000 RPM. I'm afraid if I look at your work log I might see something that I like. ;)
 
On a 750 the power comes in at a higher RPM than the liter bikes, starting at around 5,500, maybe around 7,000-9,000 it's the strongest.

If you want to keep the ratios, just add teeth to the rear to get whatever ratio you want. Use the biggest front sprocket you can, if a 17T will fit, go with that. To keep your 14/43 ratio, use a 49T rear with the 16T front or a 52T rear with the 17T front. They are not exact, but as close as you can get.

Well the 14/43 ratio was a lil large. But i wasnt really minding that since this bike will no longer be a main rider. SO..the more guts the better...heheh
