My apologies for another gearing post.
Over the summer holidays I will be replacing the chain and sprocket on my 95 speed triple. I have all the parts and intend going down 1 tooth on the rear sprocket from 43 to 42. Its currently running the standard 17/43 set. This is a small increase in gearing but I am looking for the engine to be less busy at highway speeds. This year I had the tacho rebuilt by an instrument specialist and it now works all of the time instead of occasionally or only at high revs. I am still suspicious of the reading though and want to know if anyone has a standard gearing chart for the standard 5-speed gearbox. Currently my tacho says 3500 rpm at 110Kms/hour (68 mph). I need to know if this is about right – seems a bit low to me.
Any help in pointing me in the right direction for a gearing chart or advice re your tacho reading at 110kmh (68 mph) would be greatfully received.
