From ZX-11 to FJR

[FJRMGM]

I suspect the gearing on the ZX is lower than the FJR also - what rpm is the ZX turning at 70 mph compared to the FJR?

A motor can be made to feel a lot stronger with lower gears.

I would like to see a slightly lower first gear on the FJR for parking lot manuevers. Other than that I am a happy camper.

The ZX11 has 6 gears, the first 5 are closer together and lower than the FJR, but 6th let's you cruise at 4k RPM at 80 MPH instead of 4k at 70 on the FJR.

Yes, the FJR needs an over drive for cruising the slab
