But it affects the speedo accuracy doesn't it?CMSMJ1 wrote:
Personally, I would go for 14/40 - smaller sprockets, shorter chain = lighter setup

Re: Front End
Changing sprockets to anything other than standard gearing will throw your speedo out.

Re: Front End
it does..changing the gearing in any way affects the reading on the speedo.
I don't care...mine runs in KMH and if I want to use the speedo - it is easy to go 30mph or 50mph...anything else doesn;t need a speedo...
@ Hadies - I agree, it looks better...but for me, performance has priority over a tart's handbag every time!
I don;t get it when people have mechanical piles of shite with spanky fairings, wank sticker kits and stuff that makes no difference to whether the bikes works or not...
