Sprocket Question
It wouldn't be that difficult to calculate with some of the spreadsheets that are out there. But that would be just a calculation. My suggestion is try to get your hands on a portable GPS. You can then see exactly how fast you're going in any particular gear. Motorcycle speedometers are inherently inaccurate.
Check this sitefor a download.Your shop manual has the values you need to fill in for the F3 as far as gear ratios.
im currently running -2, +5 and heres my speedo readingcompared to actual (This was clocked using another vehicle).....
Indicated 35mph on Speedo.....Actual--25mph
Indicated 45mph.....Actual--35mph
Indicated 70mph.....Actual--55 mph
Indicated 90mph.....Actual--70mph
this gives u a rough idea how far its off on my bike......the faster u go (or higher rpms)....the farther off the Speedo is....as u can tell ^^

I'm kinda confused...Isn't the speedo running off the front tire? If I'm correct, then it wouldn't matter what sprocket combo you have, only the engine RPM's tell a different story against mph...ie, 7000rpms at 60mph vs 5000rpms at 60mph stock. In either case, the front tire will still be rotating at 60 mph...
Am I smoking some good stuff here or ?
