Silly... the engine doesnt' care what gear it's in... it only goes as fast as it can anyway!
Just to make you feel better.... got a few wrinkled parts on my Suzuki Bandit 1200 replaced. (My KID wrinkled it! <G>...
Couldnt' figure out whre one party was that my friend took off... had him come over, installed the little spring he had forgotten was in his pocket..(sheese...men!) .. and told him to take it for a test ride..
Ok, he's used to his big Suzuki Cavalcade, big as a Goldwing. He come back, says it runs pretty good, had it up to about 120. Later that evening he calls my brother... seems that good old Rob didnt' realize how fast my little bike could go... says it was clipping along rather nicely when he looked at the speedo... He was doing 140 ...in 4th gear!.... So he snicks it into 5th and said it kinda ran outta juice about 167....<BG>
Still runs really good, so no damage... <G>
Now, FIRST gear at 103 would be kinda pushing it! <LOL>
