Supermoto Gearing |

So right now I'm running 15/42 with 17" wheels and I lost some |
|
top end from switching over from the enduro setup. I was running |
|
the exact same gearing with 18/21" wheels. Anyone know where I |
|
can get a smaller rear sprocket that'll fit the 690 cush hub? |

How much top end did you lose. And do you know how the SMC is |
|
geared? |

hmmmm. I dunno. I used to cruise 80 mph at aobut 5k and now it |
|
takes 6k to get that outta her. Suppose I didn't lose too much. |
|
Just feels like she has to work harder to do the job she's used |
|
to doing. Figures about right. Runnin' the same pace, just with |
|
shorter legs. :-\ |

Did you end up finding your 42? If not Sidewinder do custom size |
|
sprockets. |

Interesting. I'm puzzled. At the risk of asking a dumb |
|
question, did you reset your speedo for the new tire / rim |
|
combination? A 15/42 setup should feel like you gave up first |
|
gear and added a 'seventh' gear based on the shift points. I'm |
|
running 16/45 which is the same gear ratio as you're running. |
|
My minimum speed in sixth gear before she starts to bog down is |
|
around 55mph. Yours should be about the same although I'm |
|
beginning to suspect the shift points may not be identical |
|
although the ratios are the same. I'll be doing some |
|
experiments to see if my hunch is correct in the not-so-distant |
|
future. (I'm going to try the 15/42 combination and see if |
|
there's a difference in the shift points from the 16/45.) My |
|
hunch is that there is, but I have no evidence to back it up |
|
yet. Just a theory) |

15/42 is stock gearing. it's where I'm at right now and i like |
|
it but i might go 16/42 like above and a few of my friends |
|
have.. we shall see! |
