Hey KatRiders,
After 400 miles (I clean and lube chain and adjust if needed every 400) I found that my rear sprocket is missing several teeth. So she's off the road till I get a new set.
Setting up an order and I'm having conflicting information coming in.
1993 Suzuki GSXF600FP
Reading that stock gearing is 14/45(47?)
Bike was 51 rear, haven't torn apart the front.
Also reading that many members suggest a 15 front due to the radius of a 14 causing excess wear. Should I be doing a 15 or is that a post-kat thing?
Looking at a 15/48 combo for smoother highway gearing and the high-speed twisties on my commute to college (55-70 mph) which I do every week. But from what I gather on gearingcommander.com the 15 will put me up to about where a 14/51 had put me as far as rpms at speed...
Also read conflicting information on number of links (stock is 112[?]), suggested to get a 120 link if I'm going 15/48, also read that 118 is the go-to.
Care to help me clear this up guys?
Thanks in advance.
