Almost makes that 5th gear seem kinda useless, huh?
Sometimes I wish I had a 5th gear, but not if there is little to no difference. It does seem to be running at pretty high rpm when going over 55.
I get Harleys passing me sometimes and they are just bump bump bumping along, sounding like mine in 4th, going 35. But they are going 75-80. Mine will be winding out, sounds like a dirt bike in 2nd going 55.
I call it the Suzuki gear ratio fail.
Not much you can do about it but ride and enjoy the vibration.
Between that and the really comfy seat,
are the reasons I've never been on an extended road trip.
