Operators Manual
If these gear ratios are still not sufficient, try the next shorter or next longer gear ratio.
NOTE
When using short gear ratios, it may happen that the response behavior of the en-
gine in 1
st
gear is aggressive and the vehicle handling becomes difficult. For a
good lap time, often a longer gear ratio is helpful to achieve reasonable perform-
ance behavior.
NOTE
To help with the choice of adequate gear ratios, the two charts below illustrate the
traditional gear ratios and the top speeds in [kmh] that can be reached in the re-
spective gear at an engine speed of 12.500 rpm.
