changing sprockets, +1 on front only

[Val]

i dont mind loosing some acceleration as itll pop up in 2nd with the clutch and 1st under power which id like to get rid of really as spritely acceleration off lights often ends in the front wheel off the floor.


ill go +1 on the front and see how it copes if i need a little more acceleration ill go -2 on rear.

Actually +1 front equals approximately to changing -3 rear.

Means if you go now with +1 front =16 tooth this will give you ratio of 48/16=3.0 the standard ratio is 48/15=3.2

If you want to go back to standard ratio without changing the front sprocket you'll need to go +3 rear to 51/16=3.1875

Going -2 means ratio 46/16=2.875 means you will loose acceleration more but gain top speed and lower your rpms more.

Personally I have decided to go for +2 front only which will be 48/17=2.82 lowering my rpms with about 500 to 800 rpms depending on the gear and increasing the top speed from standard 142mph to 162mph, of course I can't get that speed legally  :lol
