-1 tooth on the front and +2 on the rear?

[konceppt]

Hi all,

I am after a bit more acceleration so i am going to alter the gearing.I have a few questions.
1) On previous 600 sports bikes i have gone -1 tooth on the front and +2 on the rear.Based on searches on the forum it seems that most people do one or the other.Is too much to go -1 +2 on the sv?

2) On that basis should i go for a 14t front sprocket or say a 48t on the rear?

3) On previous bikes when i have altered the gearing i have had to buy a speedohealer,is that necessary on the sv?

Thankyou

Speedo drive/sensor is on front wheel not gearing.

Im on 14t on front n kept 44t on back..pretty good

Keep 15t at front for sake of chain wear, IMO.
Do you do any miles or is it a toy?

-1 +2 is a big jump, will be very annoying and high rpms on motorway. I had 47 on back, it was noticeably higher revving on motorway but good for twisties.

Hi YC have u tried a16t on front as I fancy trying 1..cheers

No real miles,7 miles to work and back,the rest is country lanes or city riding.

I went to a 47 on the rear, more wheelies, more revs, less mpg and very slightly less top speed.

I'm on 47 too. 100mph wheelies are interesting :smt077

Too big a jump IMO, leave the front and go up 1,2 or max 3 teeth on the rear.

i was thinking 48t on the rear then,I would imagine my chains pretty worn so i reckon it would probably fit straight on.Then if its any good i'll replace the chain and front sprocket.

where would i get a 48t sprocket from?
