Thanks for the quick response. I think I am going to have to go to a 16 42 set up. What do most people run with?

 

[jmaz268]

I am running the 16/42 setup, has a higher likelihood to wheelie

17/40 with turbo and stock arm.

soon to be a 4 over arm

16/42 here as well. I'll never go back.

17 front and 40 rear

17/40 = 2.35

16/42 = 2.63

So, the 16/42 gives a little higher RPM for the same road speed?

Why is this a good thing?

(Sorry for the N00b question...but if I don't know, I have to ask)

With 16/42 you lose some top speed....but you pick up more acceleration

Thanks, BA !!

 

[hayabusa_83]

is the faster acceleration harder on the sprocket teeth/drivetrain? what did everyone pay for the 16/42 setup? did you install them urself?

 

[CorrodedAlien]

What would be a good setup to get more top out of it...? 18 / 38 ?

 

[gaby]

Where do you buy does? whats the difference at higger speeds?

I love the 16/42 setup. About $20 for the front and about $43 for the rear. I use a steel AFAM rear 42t.
