anybody know if there is a different final drive ration to lower my engine rpm? my cx500 turns 6500rpm at 65 mph. would a cx650 have a different final drive? thanks

`Fraid not - all CX`s have a 3.09:1 final drive.

The 650`s have a higher primary drive and gearbox.

A 650 Euro at 65mph it would be spinning at 4600..

Get a 650.
They`re good.
