What is stock gearing -- I gotta know that to calculate the diff. Generally 1 tooth down in front is gonna be about 6%

I have the -1 rear sprocket and when my buddy was going 65 in my truck, I was riding next to him and mt speedo said 90. My ****s way off. I really need a speedo healer. I also have a 180 rear tire instead of the stock 160. That prolly doesn't help much either.

Plus with a smaller front sprocket. So if you're showing 100mph you'd really be doing 93ish. This is only if the speedo was correct with stock gearing -- they generally read around 5% happy with stock gearing anyway but occasionally they are right on the money stock.
