top speed calculator for gearing changes

I was wondering if anyone has a chart or table that shows the top speeds of the busa depending on your sprocket configurations. I found one in another thread but the link no longer worked.
 
I have an Excel worksheet that will do the calcs for ya.

PM me your email addy and I'll shoot it your way.

Man! That is one heck of a spreadsheet - tells me way more than I needed - gonna come in very handy!

Thanks again omslaw

Its in Km/h but still very cool!
I really like the last catagory...

Chain geometry changes due to sprocket & chain changes:


that can really help you determine the range of sprockets you can use and still remain within the stock adjustment area.

wow! I remember this one! it's a classic!

the hp / drag numbers are a little skeewed but if someone is looking for a starting point it isn't bad.

You can switch it to Mph and Inch....
There is a radio button called Select Units below the pull down menus

I have real world numbers for stock setup based on dyno results-

Qualifier 190/50/17
17/40 gearing
TRE to bypass cutoff
6th gear

=196.03 MPH at the rev limiter


Same setup with Qualifier 190/55/17 rear (.6" taller tire)-

=201.06 MPH

And with a Muzzy 4:1 system DAMN does she sound sweet doing it!!!

If someone has Microsoft Access I have an advanced one that'll tell you your velocity both MPH and ft/s, the HP/torque/thrust/rear wheel weight needed to reach the MPH on a 1RPM increment. It has variables for tire size, front sprocket, rear sprocket, rpm range (2000-13500, gear range (1-6), Barometeric pressure, and ambient temperature.

Eventually, when I have time there will be more so you can include your dyno results and compare them to the calculated results to determine if the hp you have is anough for the gearing. It'll also include OD gears soon.

current inputs:
Tire size inches - Circumference or radius (63-85" cir.) *the values in the drop down list are incremental in 1/32" to allow for tire wear or growth)
Front sprocket tooth count - (16-20)
Rear sprocket tooth count - (36-45)
Engine RPM - (2000-13500) *1RPM increments
Gear from - (1-6)
Gear to - (1-6)
Barometric pressure - in/hg (29-31)
Ambient temperature - fahrenheit (65 - 99.9)

current outputs:
Gear position
RPM
Velocity - MPH
Velocity - ft/s
HP
Torque
Thrust
Drive wheel weight

Eventualy when I get this all done I plan on publishing it on the web with instructions but currently it's still a work in progress. All of the calculations are based on Gen I Hayabusa setup for speed. You can add 3% to the hp numbers for a street setup. I'm building this so that I can look at the thrust curve vs drag limit to determine how much hp I need and what gearing.
