Gearing

[rdnckjim]

Bike seems a little weak sometimes, already did a thr bod sync and only thing left is to get valves shimmed, but I dont know they are even out. Wondering if I should drop the front sprocket a tooth or two. Any input would get great

My 04 was down 1 in the front up three in the rear 16/43 felt pretty good that way.

What part of Indiana?

go up two in the rear great all around gearing. You get a better pull on the bottom but still good top end.

I'm from Chesterton, IN bout 2 1/2 hrs north of ya, so I should go to a 42 rear, I though that the front gear controlled most torque in sprockets, but then again I am still kinda new to this

They are a little weak stock, they're geared too tall for high speed from the factory. They should have geared them a little lower. I run the 16/42 gearing on mine.....I think its perfect
