V-Strom specific discussion / Re: Gearing up the 800 RE
« Last post by deecat on May 21, 2024, 22:43:13 »I don't think I have seen a 49 tooth sprocket for our bike and I am not sure that you would notice much difference with one tooth less on the rear.
I did want the 47 tooth sprocket but they did not have one in stock so I went for the 46 t one. On a quick shake down run this morning the difference was when running in the bike in at 4,500 revs the speedo showed 58mph and now it is 68mph.
The bike has such good low down grunt that I couldn't notice any difference lower down ,I will try and get out on my own on Saturday, without the restrictor on the back to give it a better assessment.
