They also dyno in 4th gear iirc.
thats semi correct, it's different for all machines, to get top hp, it must be run wide open in the gear that is closest to 1:1 ratio, and that is 5th gear on a blaster, not 6th
6th gear 0.905
5th gear 1.056
4th gear 1.25
3rd gear 1.667
2nd gear 2.214
1st gear 3.091
here's some other info top soeed, copied from another thread, link at the end.........
keep in mind that this is without wind resistance, friction, weight etc. just how much the wheels spin and how far you would get. here we go
okay so we say 8500 rpm. the primary reduction of the blaster is 3.227. so with the crank spinning 8500 rpm, the clutch output will be spinning 2634.03 rpm
next we will do what 6th gear affects. the 6th gear ratio is 0.905. so with the clutch output spinning 2634.03 rpm the output to the front sprocket will be spinning 2910.53 rpm.
now the secondary reduction ratio with 14/40 gearing will be 2.86 so with the front sprocket spinning 2910.53 rpm the rear will be spinning 1017.67 rpm
now with 20 inch tires each revolution will move you 62.83 inches so at 1017.67 rpm you will be moving 63940.21 inches per minute. or 60.55 mph
