If a Honda= rice burner, then what is a Ducati?


« 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.

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.
