New chain and sprockets.

erbarry88 · October 15th, 2012, 06:59 AM

After inspecting my chain and seeing that it was stretched out I finally got around to change out the sprockets and chain. I went with JTs 15/45 and DID VX2 chain. It was fairly easy swapping out the parts but that front nut was on there pretty good. I am very pleased with the setup, the bike feels a lot smoother and dropped me down to about 9k at 70mph. I was going to go with the stock teething but after reading multiple posts about the 15t I went with that and couldn't be happier.

Norwalk....you're right across the border from where we sometimes ride.....was up on the border near you yesterday.
Watch the board for NYC guys rides....sometimes up around Carmel NY, Mahopac, Putnam County. Yeah 15 makes a nice difference.....I went 15/41 and turn just under 8000 @ just over 70.

I'm in Norwalk, CA. What's the top end on that setup? How's your acceleration?

CA ?....yeah, gotta pay more attention
It pretty specialized at 15/41....fast cruising.
top end in 6 is about 95 indicated
top end in 5 is about 100 indicated
but....gimme a little downhill and top end is 6 is 110 indicated
Cruises effortlessly @ 70, 80 but there's nothing left beyond 80-85 indic
! is much more useable, 2 is good for maybe....50, 47 ???? Not as lively as stock but the motor is very happy @ 80 +....like i said....kind of specialized.
