Strum that thing like a guit-fiddle, and 55 in 4th will feel fine.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #657660 MS1700 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2862 Re:I cant drive 55 4 Years, 7 Months ago   I reported elsewhere on my last trip I caught myself in 4th at 70 several times. Purring like a kitten. And I was like I have another gear here! I have a Car Tire too though remember that. The speedo on mine is actually right on. Stock it runs 5 MPH faster than what you are doing.   Logged     If you aren\'t running on the edge...You\'re taking up too much room!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #657669 T.T. MAN (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 97 Re:I cant drive 55 4 Years, 7 Months ago   Mine does not sound right unless I am going 70 or a little more.   Logged     RIDE HARD RIDE FREE   The administrator has disabled public write access. #657685 sprt220 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1010 Re:I cant drive 55 4 Years, 7 Months ago   at 55 in 5th it's almost lugging the engine.almost.i stay in 4th at 55 and don't go to 5th until 65-70 that's while accelerating.heck you can go to 80 in 3rd. I think our engines tolerate a lot without any problems.

I recently put on a 2-1 exhaust and K&N air filter. I find that now I can go faster in all gears especially in 4th. I feel like it was being restricted when it was stock.   Logged     www.edseatsusa.com mike@edseats.ca Phone: (419) 654-6235   The administrator has disabled public write access. #657728 Gadgetman728 (User) I've live in pursuit of the next adventure Gold Boarder Posts: 852 Re:I cant drive 55 4 Years, 7 Months ago   sprt220 wrote: at 55 in 5th it's almost lugging the engine.almost.i stay in 4th at 55 and don't go to 5th until 65-70 that's while accelerating.heck you can go to 80 in 3rd. I think our engines tolerate a lot without any problems. Ken I agree, 55 in 5th is lugging the engine. My 08 R* FI likes to be AT LEAST 60 MPH before shifting into 5th, and that's cutting it close. My "VOS" loves 65 to 70 in 5th. I've owned her for 30 days today and have racked up 3046 miles, all in Central Kansas!!
