Gearing agayn

grate this in't it , but I carnt get my head rownd the 15-42 set up , rideing the bike hard rownd my fave twistys ,the bike is reving so hard , I feel like I am going to through a valv aspesherley wen yousing engin brakeing . eney one out there yousing 16-43 , as this I think wood be just right for me , but dont whont the expence of the 43 tooth sprocket iff it is going to cach my left hand header pipe to the link pipe of the exhourst .

is there anuff space to do this .

What I shoud have sed was eney one runing 16-43 , will the chain cach my header pipe , I think theres room for the 43 , A mate is going to lend me one so I can see .
15-40 I have fitted but the spindel dose sit a long way back in the swing arm chain looks as though it needs a link and a half taken out mite go to this wen I get a new chain fitted , I am running now 16-42 ****** grate for chaceing ZX-10s As I fownd out today keeps the frunt end down a bit beter in second, good for getting the frunt end up on the whoops in the road .

Knobs the standed gearing is allrite but I dont need 180mph on a neckid bike , I whont to be in second for rownderbowts not 1st a rownderbowt is a Hair pin , I whont second gear for hairpins wen I get out to the alps next year .

Theres onley 2-MPH in it between 15-40 and 16-42 , at 9500 rpm .
Parhaps I shoud go 15-41 I think this wood werk as well ,on the gen two ,I youst to run all the time on my Gen one 16-43 wich werked a treet allrownd , this is good for werking things out once you get your head rownd it with the loading up .

Mine was a pain in the *** to run at anything less than 35 mph. Better pick up, more manners at low speeds, and it tops out in sixth gear instead of fifth now. I much prefer the 15/42. I guess if yer a scrawny little pissant like nob, the stock gearing may be ok... but I need a little extra grunt to get my 20 stone rolling.
