Redneck Posted September 20, 2007 #26 Posted September 20, 2007 Actually as I understand it a TRUE overdrive is an auxiliary transmission. The RSV has 2 overdrive ratios. 4th is .90:1 and 5th being .75:1 or something like that I don't have the exact numbers next to me. Can someone correct me with my terminology if need be? I see the term "true overdrive" used elsewhere...is there a "false overdrive"?Over drive just means that the output is turning faster than the input. The transmission in the rsv is actually a double overdrive. The term true overdrive is just something somebody made up ether it is or it isn't.
KiteSquid Posted September 20, 2007 #27 Posted September 20, 2007 I just wish the RSV had a 6th gear at about .5:1 OD...... while cruising at highway speeds, I keep looking for another gear. I also wish the RSV had helical cut gears throughout the transmission, for noise reduction. I listen to my transmission, and day dream that it is the gears in a supercharger:rotf:
Steve S Posted September 20, 2007 #28 Posted September 20, 2007 I use the rev limiter to let me know when to shift gears. Or just wait til the wife starts pounding me on the helmet.
Monsta Posted September 20, 2007 #29 Posted September 20, 2007 The term true overdrive is just something somebody made up ether it is or it isn't. As I suspected.

Guest silvertramp Posted September 21, 2007 #31 Posted September 21, 2007 mine hits the limiter @ 90 MPH in 3rd--and loves it.. The harder I run, the faster I shift, the happier it is. My old HD-- well--not so much.
