Speedo problems
Once again thanks for the input.
My '05 T100 is unmodified as far as the final drive goes, which according to the manual should be 18/43 sprockets and I'm running the same Metzlers that came on the bike. I live at 8,000 ft. in the rockies and it's too **** cold out there to confirm this. But I have no reason to believe it is not correct.
This gearing is just fine for pulling the twisty canyons with their steep grades. But on road trips taller gearing would be nice. How do people like the 19 front sprocket on the highway? Do you feel any significant loss of acceleration. Given the torque spec of the 865 motor I would think do just fine.
Torque spec I found on the web shows the 865 is about the same as the 790 at the lowto mid range. But it is quite unusual in that after the low to mid range it just continues to gradually climb to 6K.
