15/42 gearing and 16/42 gearing

[SubZero]

will try 15/42 first..

I'm on the 15/42. It makes much easier street riding, but I just can't get used to it on track. I'm still learning how to handle the V4 on track, but the 16/42 set up seemed better to me on track. Maybe it's because I spent afew months riding that way.

If you're only using it for street, 15/42 is excellent.

i've had 15/41 for d past 8 track days but i changed it to 15/42 for my last track day...cant say there's any difference.
someone suggested 15/43 in order to feel any significant change or better drive out turns.
anyone tried 15/43?

Yep, makes a huge difference on the road.
Top end is reduced to 167 mph, plenty fast enough.
You'll have a hard time getting the standard 108 link chain to fit but it'll go.
The wheelbase is then as short as you can get it, so you have a mental fast bike with a lunatic short wheelbase.
Loads of fun.

hi slamdunk,
thx for d feedback, guess i'll give it a try. i have 110 links so it shouldnt much of a problem.
d only prob is, my next track outing is months away....sigh.
