what is the difference?
Do all 96 motor bikes produce the same power?
I see on the t-max that there are different speedo calibrations for different bikes.
and different bikes have different back tires rolling circumference.
(not worrying about export)
I think all the 96 motors, primaries and 6 speeds are the same.
so is the power different on different models?
and if so, what order?

RE: what is the difference?
speedo calibrations have nothing to do wth horsepower. speedo calcs are dependent on tire circumference and gear ratios.
i believe all stock 96's to be the same. only difference would be weight to horsepower ratio.

and I was wrong in my thinking that a smaller circumference rear tire would be causing a different gear ratio and changing the power at the rear wheel.

RE: what is the difference?
actually the smaller circumference tire will have a faster spin up and spins at a different rate than a larger one at speed.
This is the reason for a different speedo calibration from one to the other.

a smaller rear tire will be like a smaller gear and give more rear wheel power and torque. given same engine, primary, and trans.
so a smaller rear tire might not look better it is faster. JMHO

i always understood it to mean it transfers the same power at a quicker rate, not sure how it can increase power. ..
but it's physics and about all i can do is spell *physics*

now this I agree with.
