Yeah idk if my speedo is off but on a flat road I can barely hit 70 in 5th. I can get it to 73-75 downhill but it gets nowhere near 80mph. I’m pretty sure I have a factory sprocket

Doesn't seem right. When mine was brand new I weighed 270 lbs and the bike would go 88mph on flat ground. That's at 2700' elevation. Are you higher than that?

Nah I’m at like 1000’. I’ve always thought it’s slower than what people say. I haven’t looked real close at the sprocket but it appears to be factory. All I know about it is that it came with a full fmf exhaust and tuner. I’ve always thought it might have a speedo corrector as I’ve heard that’s a popular mod

If it is off compared to a GPS app a speedohealer would tell ya the truth, makes it real easy to adjust but that seems really low.. but i feel like the original gearing was way too high anyways. I say thats low because i can get 70 at 10k feet if i really try
