Maximum Speed per Gear

[2005 FJR Scott]

I searched but didn’t find an answer.

I love the sound of this engine at higher RPMs. I hit 55mph in second gear and it felt like the sweet spot to shift.

Is that too may rpms? I wasn’t paying attention to anything but the speed and couldn’t believe it….

What a Ride this bike is……..

BTW, still a newbie so, be kind.

I think you can see over 50mph in first gear. Intake roar starts to mask the symphony.

You would have to make adjustments for Gen I

Gen II

2016+

If you hit too many RPM, the rev limiter will let you know.  I occasionally hit it when I forget I am on the fjr.

Hey thanks! That’s pretty cool. 

I wonder if the FJR will outrun my buddies 2012 HD Ultra Classic?

Just for you - 2004 FJR (nearest year to 2005 that I have data for).
