    Now in hind sight maybe there are deeper underlying issues, remember how I bitched that she stalled a few times for no reason earlier in the day.

    My XR is geared for 100km flat out. 15/48. She is still a hand full in tight hilly stuff though.

    Hey Mick somethings wrong there champ. no offence but you know there a 5 speed gearbox yeah? I used to run 14/48 on my 600 when i had it for the Watagans and it would do 120 choking it, my point is the 14 on the front is slower than a 15

    Bigger on the front and smaller on the back is fast

    Smaller on the front and bigger on the back is slow

    What I dont understand is you have 15/48, which should be faster then 14/48 but you say is 20kph slower

    Ok just to confirm my thoughts I rang chicken and he still runs 14/48 as is slow gearing and thought would do 120 wringing its neck

    There has been no changes to XR600 primary drive ratio ever, so back to my first question, do you know there a 5 speed?

    TB

    PS maybe chicken and I are just rev it harder

    Mick, The little sprocket goes on the front of the bike on the engine thingy, and the big sprocket with lots of pointy spikes, goes on the rear tyre. Hope that helps and clears up any confusion you may have had. :P

    All right you pack of “funny” bastards. I just went to the shed and it is OK you can point and laugh as I did have it the wrong way round the 15 is hanging on a nail in the shed and the 14 is bolted to the thing that spins that hangs out of the noisy thing under the petrol tank.

    Mick, another tip I thought I might pass on is that if you feel that the bike is reving quite high and not going all that fast, there is a little metal stick with a 90 degree bend end on it, on the left hand side of the engine. If you give that a bit of a flick upwards with you boot when you are riding, it will make the bike go faster and the engine will rev less.

    Pretty sure he may have bolted the 14 on as I sure as hell don’t remember doing it. I must have done it at Coffs on the detour ride.
