Anyone know what the std Gen II gearing is? I think mine is geared down, my taco sits around 4000rpm at 100 kmph (60 mph).

I think the stock gearing is 17/45 but I may be wrong by one tooth in the rear. I have a GenI and the stock gearing is 16/44. Someone will verify this soon.

Yup, 17/45 is standard for the GenII
Try Gearing Commander: Motorcycle Gear Ratio Calculator for Sprockets RPM Speed Chain to see how changes affect your gearing.

With a stock FZ1 GenII that speed at that RPM is correct, so your gearing is more then likely to be stock.
However, is you change the gearing, speed on your speedometer does not change to the rpm's, it's just that your actual speed is then lower. SO check with a GPS or so, to know for sure.
For example, I ride my bike with 16/47 insteat of 17/45 and still at approx 4.000 rpm the speedometer is on +/- 100 kph (64 mph), but on the gps this is far from 100 kph that's more like 87,5 kph. So I'll need to install a speedohealer to get my speedometer correct again, and then the speed on the speedometer will be 87,5 kph (+/- 56 mph).
