Reply With Quote75 is about max for the blast.
So I'm slowly troubleshooting all the issues on my blast and thanks to this forum, I have been able to do most of the repairs thus far. Now, I'm wondering what the issue is in regards to how fast my blast goes. The more I've been reading in forums, the more I'm seeing that my blast seems to rev pretty high for not so high of a speed (in regards to shifting at higher rpms/speed) and that I have to really open the throttle fully just to get to 70 - 75 mph in 5th! What could possible be causing this to happen? I should be able to get to 75 no problem right?
Thanks,
Nick
75 is about max for the blast.
really? :(
Maybe 85ish.. downhill with a strong tailwind :D
I get 65~70 mph no problem on 4th, 85 easy on 5th, never pass this but could go more. Book max is 96~97. It could be your primary too tight. Go to www.buellridersonline.com for the recommended adjustment method.
You should be able to cruise between 80-85mph no problem. The bike will feel like it is gonna blow the piston out the top end, but it won't cause any damage.
Mine (I bought a new one in 03 and traded it in the next yr) would do a solid 85+. Now that was a fresh bike. I'd still have to think 75 mph, something's not right...
Depends on the weight of the rider. :D
has the final drive ratio been changed?
Well first of all what are your RPM's at 75mph, rev limit is 6500 on the blast. I had a blast several years ago and I never had it over 88-90mph and that was pushing it pretty hard. Im also not a big guy so extra weight wasnt an issue.
