Rebel 250 Speed Run 0 to 70 MPH

An acceleration speed run to 70 mph. This Rebel 250 is equipped with a 14/27t Final Drive Sprocket Set, not the stock 14/33t set. The winds that day was not calm. 15 to 25, with gust to 35 mph. The wind direction was from the right front quarter. You can see when the gust are happen. The camera starts to shake.

Maximum Speed is higher in 4th gear. Compared to a stock Rebel in 5th gear. A stock Rebel will top out at 76 mph in 5th gear @ 8,250 rpms. My Rebel has reached a speed of 81 mph in 4th gear @ 7,800 rpms. Same speed in 5th gear @ 6,800 rpms. Another plus with this 14/27t sprocket set. Vibrations felt in my Rebel @ 75 mph, is less than a stock Rebel @ 35 mph in 5th gear.

Nice. I have an '86 Rebel 450 and can't accelerate that quickly. I'm still learnin so I either need to keep learnin or get a new drive sprocket set

@RebornTruth74 On the interstate? Really? Seems at least 10 mph too slow.

I increased my front gear from 14 to 15, than decreasing size of back sprocket. Reason being, less travel and wear on the chain, compared to shrinking rear sproket. On the other hand, your front sprocket will wear out long before you rear sproket, prolonging your investment in your rear sprocket, so I guess I can see an alternative benefit of going with smaller back sproket, instead of larger front sprocket. Front sproket I installed though looks pretty damn beefy solid steel, so time will tell.

Ya they do great on the interstate..i have an 05 and i love it

Any idea how much of an impact rider weight has on the top end? Been researching sprockets for my 2008 Rebel, and right now I'm looking to hit at least 80mph so I can ride comfortably on the interstate for short periods of time. With the stock 14/33 sprockets I top out at 71-71mph, and that's me crouching down behind my windshield. If I could move to 15/32 and gain say 6-7mph I'd be ecstatic, even if I do lose some roll-on power in the conversion.

Thanks for the rpm info , have always wondered bc mine sounds like it's about to come apart at 70.

Most people quickly dismiss the Rebel as being a "learners bike" and not for regular riding. I ride my wife's from time to time and it gets around just fine.

I prefer the 15 tooth in the front. Less chain travel, will last 1./14th longer than the 14 toother. No more angry bees. Have never tried to top it out myself, though I've done 70 on the interstate plenty. Not something I really want to try.
