Title: 2006 monster 620 gearing change Post by: POCO LOCO on February 21, 2016, 01:51:27 PM On an 06 620 monster that has already been fitted with a 14 tooth front sprocket, what would I gain or lose if I went with an increase of one or two teeth on the rear sprocket?
Title: Re: 2006 monster 620 gearing change Post by: stopintime on February 21, 2016, 02:38:39 PM More of the same as the 15 to 14 front sprocket. Front 15 to 14 lowers the gearing / raises the revs 6-7%. One tooth is ~2%
It will probably make the bike a little easier to ride slowly, it will feel faster and theoretically lose some top speed. Title: Re: 2006 monster 620 gearing change Post by: Slide Panda on February 23, 2016, 08:16:33 AM You can check the maths:

Title: Re: 2006 monster 620 gearing change Post by: POCO LOCO on February 23, 2016, 05:04:56 PM Will I have much of a first gear left if I go with the 14t front sprocket and a 50t. rear? I have a 6 speed I might add.

I have a 6 speed I might add. I run 15/39 on my 5-speed M750. So a 14/50 on your bike would make your 6th only a little higher than my 3rd. What kind of riding do you do?

Anything above 70mph and is sounded like it was going to grenade at any time. Dropped the rear to 43 and it's a good compromise.
