OK, No bull, whats the fastest you've seen on your Falco? I,ve only seen 147mph (at the TT if asked,) ahem. 15 tooth front. I know they go faster than this, so how fast?

Dyno run,126.9 : crank
116.4 : rear wheel
166 mph VMax (16T)

Note : only 2000 miles on clock so still a bit tight!

Renegade air box,fighter pipes and chip.

I have the fighter high level pipes and have derestricted the airbox. 114BHP at the rear wheel and after the dyno run 169mph on the clock.

i have only managed 140 until the turbulance from the fully packed B-Bags was too much for my nerves.

Had it dyno'ed with 1200 miles on the clock

112.8 bhp (rear wheel)
164 mph (v-max)
163 mph (dyno) - shows how accurate the speedo is, even at that speed!

I've never actually tried to max out on the road, most I ever saw was 134, but I still had plenty of throttle left.

Andy part of the reason for the lower top end is the 15t sprocket. It'll give you better acceleration at the cost of top end speed. Chances are that's about as fast as it will go with the gearing you currently have. Dropping 1 tooth is a 7.25% change in gearing, 164 - 7.25% = 152 +/-

146 down the long walk, then then some old biddy on a horse got in the way

Cheers for the info guys, I think I'll be keeping the 15tooth sprocket, SOOOO much fun ! I don't like going fast anyway. Whats that smell.....

According to the Max MPH on the dash 164MPH. Buggered if I can remember where though 

By Andyjfalco on Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 02:19 pm:

BenW, would that be the M69 in France???
Looks like you win top speed.  

By Benw on Sunday, September 22, 2002 - 11:45 pm:

Nay, Mr CRMC33 has another 1mph over my record!

Well done Sir.

Oops. Can't read proper yet. Thanks comprehensive skool system
Well done indeed CRM You are a winner!
I must be too damn wide, that's why I go so slow.

Only possible by running the tyres at 100psi of course!
