info SPROCKETS front? rear? up down, how much

[Ana-Katana]

looking to jump the line a lil beefy

i ride the crap outta my cycle, like a stolen chainsaw,
i know kats arent race bikes
but they are great tough cycles

iam not trying to race or stunt for that matter but it seems to be a lil on the slow side... when i first brought the new bike it jumped on the line if i gunned it pretty good... now i really dont see it doing that, or maybe i lost that ballswall touch, i dunno but iam looking or options and opinions


a friend suggested

going down a size on the front sprocket and maybe up 2 in the rear

iam plan to keep the rear until it needs replaced...

anyone have any insight to this?

i know that or think i know that top end will be lost or gained in the decsion i make here and (i dont really care to go faster than 100 or 115 or 137 for that matter anything over 100mph is juss asking for trouble or stupidly fast and just seconds faster to immanent danger...)
but thats about where it ends on my knowledge, and i want your guys opinions and options, and what you would do, any help and insight is appreciated

thank you ferr your time

Im planning on +3 in the rear (50t) and stock in front. The front is a 15 tooth, and going down to 14 would probably be just fine, but I worry about chain binding.

it does no harm to the bike correct? I am probably replacing my chain and sprocket soon and might go up in the bike for a bit more kick (top end dont matter to me, had the bike going 220 km/h with plenty more to go . . . i dont need that, but to get there faster would be nice )

I've got a 14-47 setup and love the way it pulls. I loose a little top end but not to much. I was going to go 14-50 but I think I’ll loose to much top end but from what I heard this would be the perfect setup for the 750.
I also noticed a pulling difference when I installed my new clutch.

15-50 setup here. The difference is pretty much = to dropping all gears down one.

What I mean by that is... at the same rpm and speed as prior, I would have been 1 gear higher to match. I can take off in 2nd gear, and it feels pretty much like 1st gear, but... I still have a first gear that has alot of torque on takeoff now.

Yeah , I did that on accident last weekend . Didn't bog down or nothin , just went .
I had a 14T front . Seemed the chain wore out REAL fast . Just go 50 in back & see what happens ....

14-50 ftw.

Nah , 15/50 works JUST fine . For a 750 anyway .

15 50 for a 750? might have to "try" that (aka if i dont like it i suck it up cause i cannot afford to "try" anything lol)

Trust me, you'll like it. It's like a whole new bike. Cruising at 90-100 mph you'll notice the higher RPMs though so that's something to consider.

[rome_rome]

90-100mph? our highest speed limit here is 110 km (68mile) so i dont think that will be a issue aha

i ran a 14-52 on my 750 last year....great torque...but if you ride freeway speeds it sucks...6th gear rpms followed the speedo 60mph=6k 70mph=7k ect. it was awsome through the twisties though and city driving

from a stop 3rd gear would seem like 1st?

How did you guys fix your speedometers? Does'nt it run off the front sprocket?

Not on the pre's. Post 98 bikes who take the measurement off the front sprocket require a Speedohealer.
