Did some searching but couldn't really find the answer I was looking for.

I have a stock 06 bike with only mod being PO removed the snorkel from air box.

Just wondering if I change to the 13T front sprocket, if I will loose much top end, I know it will effectively raise my gear ratio and give it more torque, but that being said, I know it will lower my top end, just wondering how much as I do some stretches where I need to do 100-110kms/hr

Thanks in advance.

 

It actually does pretty good. The problem is, this bike doesnt have enough stuff to wind it out under 100% certainty.

Under the mos ideal circumstances, I've hit 90 mph on mine.

 

The 13 tooth will actually mallow you to go faster and get better MPG. The 06/07 has a tall sixth gear, and has trouble pulling it at higher revs with the stock 16 tooth front sprocket. My bike has a few mods and I can hit 150 kmh with 14/42 (stock) and 130 kmh with 13/45 gearing (GPS)

 

14, you mean?


In English, please

 

Yup 14 (just off a 12 hour night shift.)

And 150 is 93.2 ish mph.

 

what he said....though anything over 120 i get a scary weave.

 

Ok cool, thanks guys and is it still only the 88 250 ninja ex that you can get the 13t sprocket from or is there aftermarket for it now?

 

Reading this post got me thinking about my SF, anyone know what sprocket set-up comes on the SF model? my bike sucks on windy days, sometimes all I can ring out is about 60mph. I can drop to 5th and pull 10,000rpm but I don't want to run it that high for too long.

 

You Aussie blokes are just too friendly and easy going....no riling you up.
