If yoiu want noise free,
Stay with 17 stock set up in front. The 45 Rear sprocket lifts the chain up off the swing arm to make even quieter again.
I agree that I was expecting something that was going to terrify me when I went to 17/45. It is a lot quicker but it is not a world of difference. Nice mod and I'm sure it will wheelie before I close in on redline.
The 17/45 is so Smoooooth you wont notice any difference down low. That's what makes it one of the SWEEEETEST mods for the big girl. By far my Fav gear. And quiet too.
but it is not a world of difference.
Oh yes it is. Rook find yourself some sticky pavement and tap first four gears at 10,800 RPM. Bring clean underwear lol OR do roll ons from 2nd with stock geared 14. You won't notice other wise. And Your not supposed to notice it, that's what makes it great, lol.
Remember you won't feel much of any change Even 17/48 if your not on the gas,,, so don't be afraid to play with them all. No biggy
The 2.65 gear ratio of the 17/45 and the 2.69 of the 16/43 work great to propel all this weight in a hurry if that's what your after. No gear ratio will be a shocker if not on the Gas.
mymonster if your like me you will never be happy with the 16F. I just listen to my buddies roll up on theirs and makes my skin crawl lol. Some people don't mind, and the gear does get quieter as it grinds it's way through the break in period lol. Like reported above the rubber cushion will help some too.
Sorry guys I just hate the 16. No need to flame. Rofl.
Rook old pic. You may notice this gear change. Sneeze and your on your back. You first lol.
