I ran 17/44, not enough gearing for a big guy, heres a video of it. you can see right at the end of 1st it dies off and picks back up

just finished putting a 16 tooth on it tonight, will see how it does this weekend

You're going with a 16/44?! Most 1/4 racers I know run a 16/42.

I just installed a 43t Vortex Cat5 sprocket (17/43) which is the closest ratio, a hair above the 16/42.

All depends on how you ride...if you put on a lot of highway miles (cruising/trips) you'll want the OE 17/40 for the lower RPMs at 70-80 mph.

If you want to lighten your front end on acceleration then leave it at 43.

the bike will be at the track more than on the street and not much highway at all

16/42 is the way to go, only about 160 on the top end. Any higher and you may hit the limiter in 6th in the 1/4 mile!!!!

16/42 is the only way to go for street/strip!!!

That 16/42 gearing should stop the non believers in their tracks. I saw an article in one of the UK sports bike mags that put the stock geared Hayabusa last in a group of five or six other bikes for stop light to stop light racing. The Triumph Speed Triple got first. Now let's try that again! LOL
