I have a 2007 Suzuki M50 SE. Great bike, but it always seems you could use one more gear on the highway. Is there a gear change available for the rear-end, or mabey the gear is different in another model model (eg:C50) that would fit to give it a lower RPM at highway speed? Any suggestions, tire size etc.? I still have to check it out against another vehicle, but the speedo seems to read too fast once your over 62 mph (100km/hr).

Well first off the speedos are usually a bit optimistic on bikes. Secondly, don't worry about revving it up, it's designed to do it. I used to think the same thing on my Volusia (01 version of the C50.) Then I realized when it would happily go up to 90-95 that 7-80 was no big deal for it.
