Sprocket sizes?

999Gav · Jun 16, 2016

Right, my V4 has the standard size sprockets on... for the moment (16f-42r)

Considering putting a 44t rear on for better acceleration and easier use at lower speed. I've experimented alot with previous bikes, but i'd like to know what you guys have done.

-1 at the front +1 at the rear.
It's lively [emoji106]

15 42 here

999Gav · Jun 17, 2016

Lively is what id want, But still want it to be useable for the longer ride.

-1f +1R is probably a unicycle now then!?

But it keeps trying to turn into a uni-cycle... every time you pull away hard. :thumbup. :lol

Wouldn't recommend going down one on the front it's like a motor cross bike

999Gav · Jun 21, 2016

Think I wil be doing 16-44 when I next change the Sprockets, along with a jazzy gold x-ring chain (aprilia have a fascination with **** looking chains)

Really?

It's the first mod I do on any bike and mine has had a -1 front for the last 2 years.

Excellent upgrade as the stock gearing is far too tall.

Holly Crap!
That I would have thought was too far, first 3 gears must be redundant.
Bet the front tyre lasts well?

I love it, I always gear my bikes down -1/+3, it will still do 150mph, which is too much anyway. APRC settings on the highest and just hold on tight ! The acceleration is absolutely breath taking. I only ride out on Sunday morning balsts, some A and mainly B roads, it's perfect for this

I think "lively" must be an understatement!

I did the same on a KTM Superduke R 990 and a Husqvarna Nuda, it's bloody great fun !

Just found a 14t sprocket in my garage, almost new from my Ducati build, if it fits i will chuck it on and go try it out

that would make a 14f 42r

999Gav · Apr 14, 2017

Right, so its now been 6 months and ive finally fitted a 15f 43r, its rapid and much better than standard gearing.

I used a 44 and loved it
