mrfijjitt is on a distinguished road
I've been adjust the gearing in smaller increments by changing the size of the rear spocket.
The standard size is 45t.
I got sent the wrong size once, 46t. This made quite a difference, although much more fun commuting and around town, made big roads feel like the engine was working more than it needed to (6th gear would've been nice).
Sounds funny when some of you guys say you run a 14t front. I'll have to try it next time. I guess I don't go proper offroad.
I've returned to a 44t rear, used this size when i went to spain, 1t smaller than standard. It still pulls wheelies and my mighty 9 1/2 stone pretty well. Manages fully laiden with pillion, backbox and panniers too.
With stage1 and stage2 DNA and fuel mod the bike is definately better at lower revs.


Posted this then realised, I'm in the Z section.. Doh.
Principles the same.
