wondering if anyone could help me out, seeing as I will probably never have a working rev counter, could someone find out what the speed is in each gear at 5k rpm? I have a gov mod and worried about over revving it..

I think
1st = 20mph
2nd = 40mph
3rd = 70mph
4th =
5th = 120/125mph

All depends on what wheels you have as most have different wheels with different profiles.
The above is wrong as mine can do more in the gears at 5k than that apart from 3rd. Mine has small wheels which has effectively made it a short box compared to standard.

Yeah diesel haha, clue is, well there's a few..
I know wheels will make a slight difference, i'm on 16" with 45 profile tyres. I only really need 2nd and 3rd, I will never max it in 4th anyway.
Will it really do 70 in 3rd?

OK that's cool.
I will try and remember these, or even mark them on the speedo!
