Front sprocket

I have just fitted a 16 tooth front sprocket on my K7, what a difference it makes. I now find it much smoother at cruising speeds and it seems much more relaxed. Try it, they only cost a tenner. you will like it.

Re: Front sprocket

ah well, on the plus side, your MPG will be much improved, on the neg side you're in danger of falling asleep...

Re: Front sprocket

Isn't 4500 at 60 relaxed enough? :p What's it pulling now?

I still miss 75mph in 1st that you get from most big capacity IL4's

Re: Front sprocket

I am off to tour Italy in a few weeks so i fitted the 16 tooth sprocket to make the long haul down there a bit more relaxed. It still pulls well enough to make it enjoyable. I fitted a 14 tooth for the TT, it was in the red in top gear on the run down to brandish.

Nope, smoother throughout, faster at the top for same RPM, if u want faster acceleration, drop a cog..........simple, did I mention 50+ mpg all round ????

Re: Front sprocket

true, 14 tooth front is fun around town, but I think for my next set I'll go naked ratios, one extra tooth on the back
