OK Foccers...i fitted the non-std chain and sprockets...(+1 front and -1 rear)
Bike immediately feels more relaxed...longer first gear is less frantic, and cruising along at 55/60mph in 6th @ about 4,500 revs is just fine...no torque problems, she still pulls away LUSTILY in 6th from around 3000rpm.
Need to try it on a motorway but i'm sure slightly lower revs is better...i always felt the revs were too high at motorway speed.
But i'm a light foccer...about 10st. ....and i never carry a passenger :lol
PS yes you do need to undo the bar that holds the rear caliper...a bitch...I had to cut off one of the bolts
