Are you sure?I know what a overdrive is..
I'm sure you were just looking in the wrong place. :wink:I didnt find one on the bike whe i rode it
I think that may answer you're questionLook in the owner's manual at the gear ratios for each gear.
It doesn't matter how many gears there are. If you have the engine turning slower than the drive shaft, it's overdrive. I had a friend with an old Toyota Landcruiser that was a three speed with an overdrive. According to your logic it didn't have an overdrive, but it did.G-Funk said:Most bike have five gears. Theres nothing overdrive about that. In fact it would help if it had a sixth gear. I drove one. I thought there was a switch or something that made it drop into another gear. If theres only five gears to that bike then theres no overdrive. Its hipe like the man said. People here own the 1800. THEY WOULD NO.
A simple concept, that seems lost on the masses!!!Rastoff said:It doesn't matter how many gears there are. If you have the engine turning slower than the drive shaft, it's overdrive.

I see you are new to the board, so I can't understand why are you getting your panties all in a wad. These guys have been trying to help you understand. I don't think anyone was trying to "look smarter."G-Funk said:All I was wanting to know was if there was a sixth gear and if SOME think remarks like that makes you look smarter. YOUR WRONG ! Positive remarks or no remrks are nice . Thank you.
First gear = 2.375 to 1 (actually taller than a 1500)G-Funk said:SALE'S HYPE ! I would be willing to say that that DRIVE SHAFT is flying at fifth gear. Some can sit on here till the cow's come home and everyone knows it's a sale hype.

My schools taught me that if I read Hot Rod magazine I would waste my mind. Obviously, I didn't listen. I am now wasting away.jonniedee said:Hmmmmm :?
Maybe some remedial engineering classes or just a few copies of Hot Rod magazine from the 50's could enlighten the GWR masses? :wink:
