I got 16/47 when my stock is 17/42. It's already @ 5-6k on the tach going 60. My redline is 12000 rpm. Screams. I can only imagine what yours will sound like.

Re: 15/60

i had a stock f4i and went up from a 46 or something to a 65 tooth sprocket. I can ride on the interstate but i think i'm only going around 65 or 70 mph. so you should be able to go on the interstate but don't plan on racing anyone.

Re: 15/60

here are the specs for your bike needed to calculate engine speed at applied mph.

Here is the link to put your calcuations in place with a 180/55/17 tire.

From what Ive already figured youll redline at around 75mph.Rev around 10K at 65mph.

Re: 15/60

Hmm well I dont think 130 is correct.Did your figure in for 55mm tire?Think about it.Your going from a 2.66 final drive ratio to 4.00.Thats going to knock at least 40% and of your top speed.Plus there is rider weight and wind resistance.Say your a 150lb rider and your bikes top speed stock is 150 - 40% = 90mph top speed on the rev limiter.Now thats assuming your bike has the power to reach that speed 90mph with that gearing.Bottom line.See ya on the service road.

You went 20+ and now your asking if you can rock the highway.Shame
