Surely they aren't the recommended speed for that gear?

 

1 = 0-30

2 = 30-50

3 = 50-75

4 = 75-110

Max recommended speed per gear.

So you shouldn't exceed 30 km/hr in first gear, 50 km/hr in second, etc.? Seems like it would be extremely high revs even before the max recommended speed.

Careful that you don't run out of gas!

Yep sure looks like a fuel gauge is nearing empty. The numbers I do believe are for the gear your in...

Four gears on this scooter

Honda Wave ,when the fuel gauge needle is just on the red still 1,1/2 litres of fuel left ,enough for about 70 km,with careful  riding.

Yes - max speed in each gear, but very ambitious speeds.  Same numbers on my Supercub, but I think it would explode before reaching those speeds.

I used to have a Honda wave 110 and the dial was about the same

on the 4 digits next to it, the light comes on for example on the number 2 when you are in second, on 4 when you are in fourth:

nothing to do with the speed to be reached

Check the meter itself , it aint the lights on the side he is asking , its on the speedometer on the inside . There is a 1 at 30km/h , 2 at 50km/h ...

you are right, I didn't read correctly . I remember this strange thing, and  never  paid attention to it, completely wrong ; don't know what it means ; we should ask Honda themselves

It has to rev to 5500 to get maximum torque and 7500 to get max power.

The manual for the old dream I had clearly specified max speed for each gear.

I do not drive like an old codger ,just a bit slower, and with both hip joints replaced ,been riding bikes for 45 years ,my days of being Barry Sheene are well gone.

They're the recommended speeds for the number of passengers on the bike.  The more you have, the faster you go.

I've never once seen an Xmax rider who even knows how to sit on a bike - usually they have feet as far forward as possible and arms locked out, invariably with no crash helmet and a backwards baseball cap.

 

Is that you Ryan? Ever heard of a book called "A Twist of The Wrist"? It will even help you ride a Wave faster (and safer) than any poser on an Xmax!! 

 

????

1st gear

It's all right.

2nd gear

lean right.

3rd gear

hang on tight.

Faster.... it's all right ... ????

 

You meet the nicest people on a Honda bike.

The pink one goes faster than the other colors.

It's all good but they seem to forgot putting gear 5 for going over 110+ kph....!? Would the engine blow up then.... lol

 

And before you say Wave can't go any faster than 110, sit couple of heavies on it and go down a steep hill..., it could fly...!  ????
