gearing......

[VVTR]

just wondering what gearing you guys are using - front & rear sprocket sizing like....

after havig my licence decorated 3 times this year already i decided to reduce the top end a bit and lower the cruise speed, and also make it a bit more rideable in the 30s & 40s....

currently im running 15 / 41 which is one less front & rear and it feels really nice.
great fun to ride and its a lot easier to keep it under a ton.

still goes well up top like but obviously i have to wind it on whereas before i was looking at the speedo and thinking sheeeeeet!!!

also fitted a tiny little speedo healer from 12 oclock labs... very neat unit and easy to install & set up.
offset was -9.55% with standard gearing and -17.60 with the 15/41 combo.

one of these -

its the H1 model for the sp - just clips inline with the speed sensor (under the front seat)

removing the front cylinder worked for me

There have been reports of a few single cylinder SP1's lately

@VVTR, That makes sense to me

I don't think many of us really need bikes geared for 170 MPH.

The 30 zones are a real pain, Very hard to stick to any speed limit on these bikes

my lad followed me to a bike meet last year on his 50cc gilera scooter, i did 28 miles in second gear i was knackered

Bloomin hell Steve, You should have gone pillion on the scooter


Running standard gearing here, Mainly just use second and third gear for the local roads.

Might consider going lower next sprocket change
