One a stock 2006 ZX-14, it makes "17 per" in 5th gear. That means 17 MPH for every 1000 engine RPMs (assuming no clutch slippage). So 90 MPH would be about 5300 RPMs and 95 MPH would be about 5600 RPMs. Since my flies are in (and closed under 7K) and I have the stock fuel map as far as I can tell, my bike should be fine in that same scenario which is another reason why flies in is a good thing. They are likely there for safety and people who remove them are actually making the bike less safe.
My bike will be geared up in a few months with 18-42 sprockets and likely a 200/50 rear tire so that will give me "17.8 per" so the engine RPMs at 90 and 95 MPH with that setup will be about 5000 and 5300 respectively. For my flies to start opening in 5th, I would need to go about 125 MPH which would be at about 7K RPMs.
So this is a good example of flies in "wins" (for safety).
Also, the reason I selected 18-42 sprockets and a 200/50 rear tire is because the larger than stock sprockets help the chain clear the swingarm protector, the 200 rear tire looks way cool, and the gearing gives me a true "20 per" in top gear so then my speedo and odo will be accurate and my MPG computation should also be more accurate.
Smarter than the average bear? 300 posts... not too shabby.
