15/47

Probably got this in the wrong place !! but hey ho!!

The standard set up for sprockets on the XTZ is 15/45 , please tell me if i'm wrong
But after my last trip to Maroc the 520 chain last 2 mins and i found 45 just a little clutch needy.......................ok i ride like a nutter !!!
My thoughts are a 525 / 15 / 47 set up .....�160 from "OFF THE ROAD" as i want a bit of a compermise off and on for my Balkan trip

So to my Question ....Will the 47 make much differance ?????

Cheers Phil

I had 15/45 in Maroc as well, works fine until you follow Keith up some singletrack where only goats go

I'm running 14/45 now for green laning and short trips and really like it. Bike will finally powerslide in third lol.

I will be soon getting 525 chain and 16/47 for the long haul to Turkey where I will swap to 15/47 for trail work.

So to answer your question ... I don't know

A (long) while back I did a comparison of gearing

Tenere 15/44



Tenere 14/45



Tenere 15/45 (stock)



For what it's worth I ended up going 15/46 as I found the 14 too low for everyday use.

Just finished the 3rd chain and sprocket set in 38k miles which was 15/46 with a Renthal hard anodised alloy rear. Lasted 9k. Chain was Tsubaki O-ring 520, better than OE but not as good as the previous set up which was Supersprox rear with DID VXM chain, lasted 19k miles.
OE chain was the worst for wear.

We'll see and i'll let you all know

Hello Phil,
I'm Tomasz (blue Tenere)



I should be in Turkey in July, only have 2 weeks there so probably won't get as far as Georgia. I would love to do some of the Transanatolia Rally route if I can find enough info ... Have you got any gpx data already by chance?

Chain Length

Hi,

i tried installing a 47 rear sprocket with the original 15 front sprocket and chain. And guess what: The 110 chain was too short. 8o)
Any advise if a 112 will fit, or do i need a 114?
And what if i also change to a 14 front sprocket?

Thanks,
Ralf

I use 15/48.. but I feel 15/50 would be a good set up..
Not being able to find 50 tooth rear sprockets I will go with
14/48.. gives 4500rpm @ 100kph , 500 revs above standard gearing...
I always buy 120 link chains... shorten them as required..

Hey Petenz
Is that 4500rpm when your speedo reads 100kph? Or is that with GPS?
Cheers

As the gearing change will screw the speedo up... it would be GPS
The bike will be traveling forward at 100kph & motor doing 4500rpm
in 5th gear..
