What gear are you in at 30mph and how many revs showing ?

Hi, What gearing are most of you guys using for the road on your RSV4 Factory? I am currently on 42/17 but feel that 1st gear is way too tall so am thinking going to a 16/42. What are your thoughts?:thumbup

can anyone give me any gearing advice for silverstone gp track , going on trackday on monday . thanks.

Hey up chaps, Whats the standard gearing on a 2001 RSV-R? I keep finding 16-40 but not sure if thats RSV or RSV-R. Reason I ask is that my bike which I've only had a few weeks, has a 45 tooth rear sprocket. Goes like sh*t off a shovel like! I had a 15 tooth front sprocket on my Falco which...

Hi guys I have heard that changing the gearing on the RSV's from standard to 15 in front and 42 on the rear sprocket gives the bike a boost in performance low down in the rev range. My question is how much torque to you gain and how much of the top end is lost with this mod? :dunno:dunno

had my tuono for a few months now. so ive changed the gearing to 15-44. i did this to my z1000 but my tuono is much more fun and more aggresive. oh yes.

Was thinking of downgearing my rsv from its standard 17/42 by changing the front sprocket? Does anyone have any experience from doing this? Should I go for a 16t or a 15t? Has anyone worn a swingarm chain slipper?

Gents First post, be gentle with me! Had my 2003 RSVR over the winter and just about to start putting some decent miles on her with a 2500 mile bash around France, Italy, Germany (rtb via the 'Ring!). I got the bike with std 17/42 gearing which was hideous at low speed but which I changed to...

I dare say that this topic has been done to death, but as I am a relatively new boy please bear with me. Std. gearing for a Factory 2009 is 16 - 40 and seems to tall in the lower gears. What do you lot advise : 15 - 42, 16 - 43 or what? Thanx.:confused
