  • The speedometer of the Benelli Imperiale 400 is pretty far off. Not a big problem if you know the true speed. Fun bike to ride, just be aware to ride safe you need to ride a lot faster than the speedometer shows you.
    Thanks to www.mvmdemeern.nl for the demo.

    This may or may not be by design. My Vespa speedo is also lying like there was no tomorrow. I have seen this on many Italian vehicles, not only motorbikes, that the speedo would show noticeably more than the true speed. I was told that this is due to the national preference to treat posted speed limits as suggestions more than anything else, so people go 10-20kph over and still not break the law :-)
    Since the speedo is digital, the measured speed is actually very accurate, it’s a design decision as to what the needle will point at for any given actual speed.

    @SportsterXL1200S 4 года назад

    Could it be that the speedometer of this specific bike has some issues? I ride on an Imperiale as well and I seem not to have these huge deviations. My top speed is touching 130 km/h on a good day and is only slightly higher with very strong wind from the back.
    And even when riding a moderate 100 km/h on the highway, I still find myself in need of overtaking the occasional car, which for sure do not drive 85 km/h.
    Also, compared to other bikes, the wind pressure feels the same for similar speeds on the speedometer...

    • @MotoSnax
      @MotoSnax  4 года назад

      I had the same thing on a Benelli TNT125 and Benelli 502C. Big difference between speedo an GPS. What you can do is start a GPS app (on Android I use 'Speedometer' an icon with a light blue '69' in it) on your phone, put it in your jacket and try to reach your top speed. 130 km/h is about 109-110 km/h on this one. 150 km/h on speedo is in the most ideal conditions, also slightly downhill (about 2% decline or so as The Netherlands is pretty flat. No mountains over here).

  • @The77Game
    @The77Game 4 года назад

    I can see why you would expect me to be shocked about the GPS speed but sadly not. It is worse than i have ever seen but not enough to shock me. Had it been very accurate, then i would have been shocked. I wonder how the 0-100 would have looked if we went by GPS speeds.

    • @MotoSnax
      @MotoSnax  4 года назад

      It shocked me to see that 120 km/h is barely 100 km/h. Or that 100 km/h is just 85 km/h. 0-100 with GPS would be 0-119 km/h on the Benelli. But I'd have to do that with all motorcycles. It is more that you get an idea for that 0-100.

      @@MotoSnax Yes it's not that i expected you to start doing 0-100 by GPS speed (even though that would be awesome). But because of that huge exaggeration the speedometer has, the already slow 0-100 could be around 12 seconds instead.

      @@MotoSnax my question is cause - from official tests - the true max speed is 127 km/h ( taki= 140/145 km/h )and max power ( on wheel ) is 17,6 cv @ 5400 rpm; so:
      If at 130 km/h ( taki ) we have 6000 rpm, at the maximum real speed engine goes at 6600 rpm ( gulp!!! 22% overtaking ) ;
      I suggest to change the original final ratio ( 13/46 ) = 3.286, with a longer one ( 16/44 ) = 2.75; so you con have:
      1) more top speed ( about 129/130 km/h ), @ 5600 rpm;
      2) more comfort;
      3) less comsumption;
      4) more cruise speed;
      5) less engine stress;

      I was able to do 150 km/h on the speedometer, which was 129 km/h on GPS. It was around 6500 rpm. But your suggestion might help as you change both and it would run lower revs at top speed. But I'm not really a gear ratio expert. :)

    • @hiyadroogs
      @hiyadroogs Год назад

      ​​​@@giovannipconsalvi2275 You will not gain more speed by raising the gearing.
      Power output is the limiting factor here, which is why the engine is geared short, to allow tractability across normal riding speeds.
      Sub 18 bhp at the back wheel will only ever give around 80 mph maximum in dead flat still wind conditions, no matter how you gear it.
      However, raising the gearing will make the bike incredibly frustrating against hills & head winds.
      I speak from experience in experimenting with gearing on my Enfield Bullet diesel 500.
      Originally I geared it at 18 mph per 1000, because max torque arrives at 2,500 - with maximum power at 3,600. But this extreme high gearing is counter productive, as the engine cannot reach maximum power revs, & struggles everywhere in top.
      12 hp on an Enfield is good for 55 mph, but with such low revs to play with, the best policy is to gear sufficiently short to let the engine stretch its legs.
      So it now has the standard Enfield 350 sprocket of 16 teeth, giving 52 mph @ 3600, or 14.4 mph per 1000.
      The Benelli 400 seems to be geared at approx 12 mph per 1000. But that is because the engine develops much more power at much higher revs than my diesel 😅 & needs to be allowed to reach those revs for the extra 28 mph.
      Wind resistance rises at the square of the speed, so it requires more than double my diesel horsepower to see 80 mph.
      Mine can only pull higher ratios because it tops out at 52 & no more, which requires just 8 bhp at the back wheel to overcome wind resistance, with a small reserve in hand.
      At 52, the Benelli 400 will be doing around 4300-4500, & will be producing 18 bhp at the crankshaft, so plenty in reserve to resist hills & head winds. Which is exactly what you would want.
