Title: Two up on the rear and I have a new bike!
Post by: speedknot on May 27, 2011, 03:05:22 PM
I just picked my bike up today from the shop and I am totally blown away by the rear sprocket mod.  There is a huge difference in the drive-ability from the 41T to the 43T.  No more low rpm chug, first gear is more usable now and it launches off the line much quicker now.  I did loose a bit of top end but I'm not breaking any land speed records where I live.
I ended up putting the Supersprox rear sprocket on despite the yellow anodizing that I wasnt to crazy about.  The sprocket looks pretty good and doesn't clash too much with the rest of the bike.  I wanted to get the Supersprox in black but they seem to be having a bit of a supply problem with them.

What bike?  The 750 in your sig? 

You have to lengthen the chain for the rear sprocket?

Yeah, its the 750.  I bought the 110 length chain.  A few links had to be removed from the 110.  I believe stock was 104?  The bike should have been shipped from the factory with the 43T rear.  Much better now.

emissions dictates rear sprocket choice I'm sure.

Dont mind the chain wax fling.  I have to wipe it every so often till it stops.

I can see why you would have wanted the black... but the color matches the chain, and is rather distinctive.
