GS1000 sprockets

[Guest]

Hi Guys/Gals
What is the tooth count on your front and rear sprockets and fuel returns ? am looking at the best combination for open road touring with lots of hills as well as long flats.
any and all input welcome thanks

Cant go wrong with a 40th tooth rear sprocket. I get/got just over 300Klms even with my small 16L S tank. Drops the revs about 400rpm at 100kph
if i recall

Sprocket count depends on what size chain you choose.

True but if he uses a 530 40th rear sprocket he also be using 4th gear not 5th lol. Seen one the other day was tiny on a kat soooo wrong
