Hey

anyone know what the max speed in 1st gear is for the 09 R1, i think i have hit 115/120km/hr in 1st gear but not 100% sure just curiouse

cheers

 

[Kevap]

1000 mph! :fact It is a rocket! :crash

 

[kickarsmann]

I believe 120 or 130. But at 1st gear, you'll be doing a wheelie. Why would you do this to your engine?

who cares about 1st gear. go find out how fast you can go in 7th:2bitchsla

I wouldn't have guessed over 100 in 1st. That website has it at 140+

Next time that pretty 'lil white light goes on in first gear.....check your speedo. Not sure why even that, but that would be a good time to shift.:crash

 

[Fr3nchy524]

try reaching the reverse redline!

I bet if you activate PRM it will do 190MPH in First.

I've only had mine a little over 10k in 1st gear but didn't look at the speed. Sorry, no help.

huh? :dundun: gearing commander for stock 09 gearing has a top speed at rev limit of 97.5 mph... and in real driving conditions it would probably be about 95 mph

I bet if you activate PRM it will do 190MPH in First.

NO NO NO!!! I had a friend activate PRM in first at those speeds and ended up blowing the exhaust bearings clean out of the bike!!! its way too much power in that low of gear :fact

 

[TheButcher]

My Gixxer does 155 in first, but again, it's a real bike, I think the R1 does about 65 in 1st.

 

[RiceMonkey]

My 06 around between160-165 KM

 

[onEsimus]

100mph @13,500 - 14,000rpm.. thats what i remember...

Oh crap, I hear those exhaust bearings are a PITA to replace. You need that special grease to lube them.

cheers, interesting
@ 15,000rpm in 1st gear you will be doing 171km/hr... i don't know how possible that is but even 140km/hr in 1st gear is amazing!

bah... 155... that's nothing...

My R1 did the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs... now that's fast

Oh crap, I hear those exhaust bearings are a PITA to replace. You need that special grease to lube them.

Yup... special grease and a spring loaded inverted pneumatic bearing tool (which are not cheap and hard to find!!!)

 

[Garvi]

I don't the limit but I definitely hit 100 mph in 1st gear

Oh right, that darn special tool, almost forgot about that. It's also a one time throw away use tool. So if you use it you can't use it again.
