Stock sprockets will run close to 5k at 60mph...IIRC. The # is punched on the side of the sprocket.

That rpm/mph sounds about right - at least it's around the same for me. Mine kind of sputters/is not smooth at that rpm/mph, that's how I know.

yup i was riding today and at 60mph it was at 5k. i was just wondering. also one more question, i was digging into the bike earlier, took the side platic off to check all my fluids and lube up the chain. my question is where do i check the tranny fluid??? when i was looking it looks like the tranny and the motor is all one, but i dont know bikes to well so i couldnt tell you?

The motor and the tranny share the same oil. As long as your oil level is good you are good to go!

The speed of the engine at a certain road speed (MPH) will be determined by what gear you're in. So, saying you run 5k RPM at 50MPH isn't enough information. What gear are you in?
