Default sprocket sizing

I just got a new sprocket set with the rear up two teeth over stock. Just wanted to know how it will affect the ride. Am I gonna go through the gears a lot faster and how about the top end? Any help greatly appreciated

Thats almost like going down one tooth in the front. You will notice a decent low end punch for sure. You will get through each gear alittle more quicker, but thats just because the gear ratio has changed alittle!!!

As far as top end, itll change it alittle no doubt, but not to bad. Itll still go fast enough!!!

Yes you will loose a little bit of top speed, and yes you will go through the gears faster. The up side to this is your acceleration will be quicker.

It will be more powerful feeling for sure, but you wont notice a rideability diff with only two up. thats good gear for the road.

it's great, you should go down one on the front aswell, and then power wheelies all day long...OH BTW I just made the change last week and I am in love. The only issue is the speedo but I think I will order a speedo healer tonight...

quick question for you guys,

Is there a graph or sometype of table that will let you input the gearing you have and what you want to go with and compare the two. I found one for the RC51 but figured what the h**l give it a shot and ask.

thanks guys,
Dubie

Just click on the method you want to use, and then input the gearing changes and then it will calculate the difference in % for you.
