i also think about going 1 tooth up rear, so 15/46. engine is not so smooth at about 90-95km/h in 5th gear.
i want to be able to cruise at that speed in top gear.
15/45 gives about 3500 rm at that speed.
will 1 tooth rear give me what i need?
apparently i got 15/46 gearing already.
installed a 14t front sprocket and found it spot on, as it should come from factory i.m.o.
but since the 14t might be a little too close the the swingarm i'm thinking to change total gearing from 14/46 (3.28) to 15/49 (3.26)
this seems very short geared though, but in reality it feels very usable.
as reference, engine makes 4500rpm at 120km/h (speedo) wich makes the engine run nice and smooth.
anyone else using a 'short gearing' as what i suggest?
