hi all, can you tell me what RPM your burgman reaches at 70mph ?

 

[Lost it]

7,000 pm more or less.

Depends what weight rollers you put in the variator.

Well, assuming your bike is 2010 or newer, and standard, 10 mph per 1000 revs, give or take, steady throttle, level road.
Slightly higher comparative revs at lower speeds.(<40mph).

Haven't had mine to 70 mph yet...

I would say 6000, but that would be with a new belt, which makes a big difference.

On a 2008 bike? With standard rollers? (Edit : NO - Sliders - see post #10)

2010+ have lower geared final drive.

I have a 2022 400. The gauges read 75mph when RPM is 7000 RPM.

An odd observation on my part is this: At freeway speeds the RPM is a more accurate representation of MPH than the speedometer. This is based on comparison of MPH on the dash against the MPH that appears on three different GPS. Once I hit about 6000 RPM and not accelerating hard, 6000 rpm translates to 60 mph, 7000 rpm translates to 70 mph, etc., while the dash speedometer always displays that I am going faster than actual. I image this may change as the belt wears.

As noted, rollers will give around 7000, and sliders around 6000. Weight shouldn't matter as by 70, most any (practical) weight roller or slider will be in as high a gear as possible.

I do have sliders on mine and prefer the lower weight ones. The belt width will definitely make a difference, too.
