I've got a 15T on the front and it still doesn't feel lively enough, my superduke used to lift in most gears with -1.
My tuono should piss the superduke but just feels flat compaired to it.
What revs will I be at at 70mph with 15-44? And top speed?
Sorry if it's been covered already, I've searched google best part of the day.

I have 15/44 on my '08 and it's lively enough, I think it's at 5k revs at 70
No idea on the top end I don't go there that often.

I'm not 100% sure what's on the front, I'll have to have a lookie see.
The previous owner said he went -1 on the front but it just feels a bit lack lustre to me.
My bikes a sunny day, go for a quick blast type of bike so I'm not commuting ect and just want something that pulls your arms off lol.

Enter you bike detail and sprocket sizes into Gearing Commander: Motorcycle Speed, RPM, Chain & Sprockets Calculator and it will give you all the information you require re revs and speed in any particular gear.

i had a look at the chain for pitch size earlier, but its not written on the side as usual?

It should be 525 pitch 106 links , if it's the original chain and mine was a Regina but just changed too EK, but I believe if ya going 44 might need 108 links ? Better check mate

Yeah,the standard chain will work with the 15/42 combo,....but its right at the end of the adjuster.Pretty sure you will need a longer chain for a 44t sprocket.

What's the standard gearing? 17-42? What ever it is I'm -1 on the front and 42 on the rear.
Aldo I've looked at loads of post on here and can I **** understand what your saying half the time lol, we should have a Aldo translator haha :thumbup
And my bike is a gen1 so does that mean I got a 108? Standard chain.
Cheers chaps.

So your bike is a Gen1?:banghead

Standard sprocket is 17/42.Chain should be a 525 with 108 links.The popular sprocket combo for a Gen1 is 16/44.

So yes,a 44t sprock will be fine,......and the standard chain should fit.

Yep as said on a gen 1 go 16-44 with standard length 108 chain, let me know if you just want sprockets or a full c@&s kit and I will sort you a price.
