Changing Final drive ratio

[masterofpuppets]

well, it was about time i did the chain and sprockets on the zxr. i was not sure whether or not to go increasing the ratio or not. but then off to the shop i go and they say the only front sprocket we have is 1 tooth down. must have been fate fuckin with me. anyway, now one tooth lower on the front and it is such an unbelievable difference. the pick up in sixth gear is amazing. the acceleration from 100 to 160 ish is much much better than before, even though now i am limited to about 180, not 210. i know it doesnt compare much with your guys' 600s, but id definately recommend it for 250 owners.




muahahaha

Thanks for that bit of advice, I'm in need of new chain/sprockets so may go for a smaller one.

The only down side is you'll chew through more gas.

Speedo's only read to 190.. the needle stops. Did you stick a 400 speedo on it or something?
