peterengland:
why kmh?
Looked at mine today
30mph = 2500
40mph = 3000
50mph = 4100
didn't go above 50 today....

bobv7:
I seem to remember that speedo and tacho dials used to be set up so in top the needles were always at the same angle in top to make them easier to read. I'll have to check that when I next take the bike out.

Bryanj:
All depends on harshness of right hand twist and degree of clutch slip.

To qualify that my original 500 in the 70's would start the clutch sliping on takoff ocasionally and if i kept the revs up would carry on till i eased off in top at max legalish speeds.

Never actualy wore out though.
