RPM chart for M50

[Jan T]

With this chart you can see what rpm the engine is turning in the various gears.

Cool chart. Where did you find it?

Do you know what the yellow line rpm would be?

 

[://love[apple]☆]

It's an Excel spreadsheet adapted from a car racing transmission. The formulas are embedded and allow you to change ratios and tire diameter and it will automatically calculate speeds in gears. I couldn't post the Excel spreadheet - board rules wouldn't allow it so I printed it, scanned it and saved as JPG so I could post.

I have no clue what redline is for the M50 twin but it feels wound pretty tight at about 7000 rpm.

Very cool chart, I agree though steve, it feels like the engine is near explosion at around 7k


I'm totally putting this chart on my tank!... :mrgreen:

 

[XxApplePiiexX]

i believe the rev limiter kicks in somewhere around 7100rpm

 

[Anahi D]

It's looks like I'll be shifting at 7099rpms from now on then

Most of my driving is done on a 2.5 mile in-city commute... this should help me finally figure out how to keep the RPMs right around 2300 for some better MPG!

Oh, and I will have to try shifting into 5th at the speeds on the chart. I always seem to be in the 40s!

Thanks!

i shift into 5th at around 65-75mph. sometimes higher

[Holly:)]

who all has tach's around here? what kind does everyone like? how much are they?

 

[damario rocka]

Ha ha. I think the M could indeed do 47mph in first gear... once!

Ha ha- I'm sitting outside and I just heard what sounded like a sportbike hit max rpm in a low gear. I heard it wind out and then - pop!
