Quote:Can I suggest that we have a sub forum for ‘off topic talk’ or ‘non-bike related’ talk or even ‘chit chat’? It would save posting some threads in the wrong place and give us a place to ‘chat’ if need be.Threads like my moving house one would be a good example. Hardly bike related, but that’s where I posted it.
Just a suggestion
Will set it up in the next 24hrs mate, good idea

Sounds like you need to buy yourself a cheap JD jet kit
Before you go to 14/50, give 14/52 a try and see what you think. If you want I can send you a spreadsheet that calculates the changes to speed in gears, when you change parameters such as sprocket size and tyre size. If you are interested PM me your email address and I can send it.
Owners of other shitbox brand bikes need not reply to this post .

Nigel WTF is the matter with you?
Firstly let’s deal with the cans of worms you have opened one at a time
1/ Rossi would have ridden a wheel barrow if he was paid the money that Yamaha paid him because my friend they knew he could make their bike (which was on par with a wheel barrow) competitive
2/ Gearing is relative the riding style there is no way what works for you works for anybody else, I like my bike geared fast I find it makes me ride better, I have to tackle hills harder because I cant stop and lift of again, and I use the clutch like it’s a 125 one dinger. I tried to get chicken onto the gearing I used to use in the Watagans with my old 600, yet he likes it about 4 – 6 teeth more on the back sprocket.
3/ Gearing spread sheet, gas flames, beakers, microscopes, algorithms, DNA, witch doctors, bats tails etc Just ride it, spend the 20 bucks go up one tooth on the front, go down one on the front, try it that will get it close. Rough rule of thumb 1 tooth on the front is same as 4 on the back ( I know Nigel its closer to 3.8767383937 by hey lets stick to 4 its easy ). Bigger on the front and smaller on the back fast bike, smaller on the front and bigger on the back slower big
4/ I think playing around with gearing is the fun of owning a bike, I have 3 differenet sets I use ( yes complete with chains ) for different rides, relax and play with it.
