What gearing are you running?

Have been trying a pretty broad range of gearing lately.

When I bought the bike it had 15/46 and was near running the needle off the speedo but no good for nice tight singles. Since then Ive tried 15/48, 14/48, 14/52 and have settled on 14/48 as the best compromise.

Just think some of the tight tracks weve been riding Im killing 1st gear alot and temp is coming up.

Anyone running 13/48? Interested in your thoughts in the scrub/bush/mud etc

must be something about Aus I run 15/43 ride the clutch in the bush cruse home 140 kph

From what I can tell the stock chain length of 110 should still work and I will carry a 14 CS with me just in case. I am also putting a Revlock auto clutch on the XR as well.

I am just going to 15/47 - can anyone confirm that the stock chain (110?) works?

Mind though, you can run even numbered sprockets (both!) and have the same, however you then must mount a "half-link" in it. This link is one-half inner and the other half is an outer - and this will result in an odd numbered chain link-wise, say not a 110 but a 109.
Just a joke, those half-links one should stay away from

Aurora, post a pic of you doing this speed please? I just want to see you crouched behind the filler cap

Just took reception of an HRC cam & hicomp coated piston ...... YEEHAAAA!!!!!

Picture?

Will have to step up the the GoPro camera this winter? The 104 mph was on pavement.

I am going the same route , 15/47 seems god for DS riding , i dont do much forrest crowling ,i am on 14/48 now that works great off road . Will this be the correct gearing for the better chain life ? i am bit confused about the odd teeth gearing to get the chain move around the sprockets

Also looking at the chains and got confused , i believe that the pig comes with 520/110 chain but some sellers tell you that the 520/120 its what you need , also did loads of reading on some forums and got even more confused , what chain are you lads using ?

I rode on the 14/48 sprockets for a while then went to 15/47 to help keep the RPM's down on the highway. Out on tight overgrown trails that's the wrong way to go for sure. Before on 14/48 I was between 1st and 2nd all the time and now with 15/47 there's lots of lugging and clutch work going on. I think 13/48 would set you up nicely for 2nd gear and 3rd gear trail ripping. Cruising down the highway though, your XRR's going to be singing at highway speeds That's my $0.02¢

Oh, and check this site out to. I've used it for all my bikes and its got a lot of great info.
