RPM to high

[smoky417]

My rpm is taching 3000@ 60mph. Can I just change rear belt sproket or do I need to change front as a set? would it be cheaper to go the chain and sproket route instead of belt drive?

are you sure the tach is right
is the motor reving
is the clutch slipping

you'll get more help faster if you go to "the new community" and tell us what yer riding
what year bike it is..............so on and so forth

Hi my 91 fxrs-sp softtail is revving 3000rpm @ 60 mph ,on long trips I feel it's to hard on the motor for extended periods. will changing rear belt sproket alone be enough to lower RPM?

depends on how much you want to lower it. but by going with a smaller rear pully, you will also lose power to ground performance

You may want to consider going with a 6 speed tranny, the gearing will make the difference in RPM'S.

I'm thinking something has been modified on that bike....or something is badly fugged up.....are you running it with the enricher wide open?
