Gearing - Sprocket Size Help Wanted

[craigp]

Hi All

I bought a 600S a few weeks ago and really suprised and pleased with it!
Having only had parallel and vee twins before, I'm not really used to the high revs at cruising speeds.
Had a look on WEMOTO and they do reduced tooth rear sprockets and increased tooth front sprockets.
I'm not too worried about losing a bit of accelaration, but I'd like to lose some of the revs between 60-80mph

Has anyone had any experience of altering the gearing and which combination worked out the best?

Paid very little for the bike and it came with all the old MOTS and full service history, so dont mind throwing a few £'s at it. Already given it irridium spark plugs and a K&N filter, which is great.

Thanks for looking and look forward to picking your collective brains

Hi Craig, have a look through the tech articles for the 600 there are loads of threads about gearing/sprocket changes there, for example; diversionclub.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=600&action=display&thread=2608.

Best to trawl through and draw your own conclusions.

Hth, Trev

I had a 600 and while it was revving on the M-way, it was happy and fuel consumption was good so I kept with standard gearing.

It also had to be dropped to 5th for any real getupango so I think the gearing was about right.
