What RPM's do you tack at 80mph is 6th? - Yamaha FZ6 Forums - International FZ6 Motorcycle Community Forum

I asked this question in another thread but never got a reply. With a stock trim bike what RPM do you guys tack while running 80MPH is 6th gear. I ask because that’s the speed I run at. Thanks in advance.

My bike is stock, I think at about 80 mph (130 km/h) in 6th I'm doing about 6500 RPM

Same here, stock bike approx 6,500rpm at 80mph

My rpm's are exactly 7k @ 80mph. Funny you should ask because I use the rpm/mph to tell what gear I'm in a lot of time.

I do the same thing. I went from an '82 Suzy GS1100E and that made me really lazy with my riding because of the gear indicator. I never really learned to keep track of where I was and it was difficult at first adjusting to my Fizzer.

at 80mph in 6th, I tach around 6500-7000. But don't tell my mom I went that fast hehe

Well with power commander and two brothers exhaust, I run between 7000-7600 RPM at 80MPH. But before I put these mods on, it used to run 6000-6500 RPM.

Have fun with your FZ6. For me the best bike on the market ...

Those mods should have absolutely no effect on the RPM vs. MPH. Unless you changed your sprockets/tires/speedo healer, your bike should read the same rpm at whatever mph in the same gear as a stock bike.

In theory (mine anyway) if you mod the bike to make more power, shouldent you actualy turn up slightly less rpm to achive the same speed/HP output? IDK what do ya think?
