Hello, I put the newly acquired k100rt back together today after sorting out a couple of stray wires. Took it for a little ride and noticed that it seems to be geared rather low, just by the sound of the engine in fifth gear.
At 45mph the tachometer is turning 3000 rpm, is that normal for a k100rt... seems its reving fairly high at that speed, feels like it's geared kind of low. I believe there's a gear ratio stamp on the rear end somewhere,will have to look and compare it to the owners manual.
Any thoughts on this topic will be appreciated. thanks bob
