I was thinking the same thing Art.

I have changed the front sprocket from a 17 to 18 tooth, which does help lower the RPM's some. It made it better, but now I'm considering changing the rear to a 40 tooth.

I know the bike will hit 70 mph in 2nd gear (just before hitting the rev limiter), but I can't see cruising 70+ on the freeway in 4th.
