Top speed of my 02 GSXR600 after sprocket change?
Im going to ugrade my sprocket to a bigger size. Im thinking around a 52 tooth, but I also want to be able to ride from St Louis to Indianapolis. Is there a sprocket size that will be big enough to stunt well on and also reach 75mph on the highway? Thanks for any help.
If you google "Motorcycle Gearing Calculator" you can find some sites to get a feel for what top speed you will be looking at. Check out: http://www.bikerenews.com/Stories_Archives/GearRpmSpeedCalculator.htm
Good luck - you riding to Indy for XDL?
I use to run a 55 on my f4i that I drove daily and I could hit triple digits still, and 70-80 mph cruising wasn't so bad.
Thanks! My buddy exained that reaching the speed isnt an issue, that acceleration was. And when im goin highway speeds that my bike will sound like its screaming. No im not riding to XDL unfortunetly. I was raised in indy and live in st louis. Ill be on a buisness trip durring XDL :/
If anything, after you gear your bike it'll accelerate faster, but yea, if you gear too much you'll be screaming while cruising at a comfortable speed.
Like I said, on my f4i the 55 was good all around. What's the stock rear size on that GSX-R?
45 tooth, i ordered a 520 pitch (not sure how to determin the tooth number). If its too had then ill just throw it in the back of the truck lol.
