    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Here is a chart that shows the difference in mph for different sprocket tooth configurations. As you can see there is only about 1.5mph increase per tooth on the rear.

This chart was done from a ratio calculator including primary gear ratio, final drive and each gear 1-5 ratios and based on a stock 130/90/17 tire with a circumference of 2083mm or 82.3"

I have a complete chart of rpm's and speeds for stock and with 180/55/17 tire with 17/47 sprockets. I can also do any combination of teeth you wish if you need the info.

Going to a 44t sprocket on a stock bike will drop top end by 6.64mph and a 40t will increase your top end by 7.29mph

Installing a 16t front will increase your top end by 9.75mph
