hi all, gen 1 1000
I understand the std gearing to be 16/44
I've been doing some cleaning etc and found that the previous owner had fitted a 17/45 combination.
Sorry, I still to this day can't get my head around gearing so please could someone tell me in simple terms what effects this gearing has?
Also I noticed that the chain has made marks on the rubber on the sides of the front sprocket where the rounds of the side plates seem to be touching it.
I like things standard too so probably swap back to standard but would like to gain an understanding.
Cheers
Lewis
