[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1101362, member: 329"] i don't think there is a definition for overdrive in a motorcycle. The term originated from cars when the drive shaft coming out of the transmission was turning less rpms than the motor's crankshaft and was/is pretty meaningless because it did not represent the overall gear reduction. For anyone interested in overall 5th gear reduction ratios, its 4.03:1 in a GEN1 and 3.92:1 in a GEN2. The C14 in comparison is 4.09:1 in 5th gear and 3:40:1 in 6th....which is too tall and would be a lot more useful and probably give better fuel economy if it was about 3.70:1. I think the 5 speed FJR has better gear ratios to choose from than the 6 speed C14 (which I mostly use as a 5 speed). [/QUOTE]
