Sprockets (again)
Sorry everyone but being a newbie i will keep my stupid questions to a minimum
What is standard sprockets for the 1992 model
I want to gear it up so it revs lower at highway speed, best options?
Thanks again

42 AND 17 are stock... ( edit due to brain death at a late hour ..LOL )
May I ask why you want to change from stock ones which are pretty good ratio's..
These old girls are happy to sit on 5000-5500 rpm quite economically (120-130 klm per hr / 70-75mph)
are you a bit of a speed freak ? LOL

If you want more speed and less revs , 45 and or 16 will do the job...

I think our Oz has it backwards Higher front and lower rear will give you more speed, less revs.
Steve's option will give higher revs and lower top end........

sprocket/speedo
Just bought a pristine 1990 Silver 1000F. The previous owner went down a tooth to a 16 tooth front sproket.
That would throw my speedo off...right?
I want to go back to a stock 17 tooth front.
Thoughts?
Thanks,

Pictures of the bike are a requirement around here..........................
Just been out and checked the rear sprocket 43t, one tooth above standard, no wonder the engine seemed to rev so hard.
I think when i replace the sprockets i will opt for standard up front and a 41 or 40 on the rear.
Has any one here done this gearing ratio and what was it like?
