"Revised instrument / meter assembly … speedo display can be changed to read either kilometers or miles per hour, I can do the math in my head..."

My Gen II tells me either/or, simultaneously.

Yeah, mine too. It's just that sometimes I need stronger glasses.

Yeah, mine too. It's just that sometimes I need stronger glasses.

Try drinking straight from the bottle instead.

Spud, it's clear you don't pay much attention to your speedo anyway...

Doesn't look like he needs a 6th gear either.

I do that regularly, maybe it's part of the blindness problem

[more thread drift]

I go into the kitchen and only drink what comes out of the tap.

[/thread drift]

At least I have a few on topic posts in this thread

 

[FJReady]

Mr. 'beam, I want to visit your superiorly provisioned kitchen! (penalty accepted for maintaining thread hi-jack)

Hey, I don't think he needs a sixth gear either.

Yeah...perhaps it would not hurt to upshift from 3rd. What is the purpose of running up to 8K rpm's in 3rd gear???

Spud is performing research and obtaining data points for the continuing 5-spd vs 6-spd debate. We should all thank him... ;-)

That's what you do on the way to 9k RPM in 3rd gear. You should try it. It'll put a smile on your face!

Holy ****, if that thing will do over a hunderd in 3rd it ought to do two hunderd with a 6th gear!

Not so fast gorilla-grip, the speedo won't go past 180mph.

 

[SLK50]

As a courtesy you should pull over once in awhile and

wait for the speedo to catch up.

 

[user 8909]

Too funny, moving all the "off-topic" stuff to one thread.....well, don't stop now

this could be the longest thread ev-var.

Can you also make an automatic pop-up with a statement about using the search engine on every question that's asked ??

 

[Spud]

This pic is not mine. I just found the pic online by googling FJR 1300 Speedometer. It's a screenshot from this YouTube Vid. I would NEVER abuse my bike like that, let alone exceed the speed limit.

:biggrinsmiley:

That's true. My 1980 motorcycle speedo only went to 85...and you know once that thing hits 85 ya just couldn't go any faster.
