I just changed the gearing in LazyBoy's 03 RM125 for a test and he liked the change so we are going to stick with that gearing (12/51). The only 51 I had was a cheap steel sprocket and while I have no trouble running a cheap sprocket I was shocked at how much more it weighed than the stock Sunstar 49t. My question is how much is that extra weight affecting performance, and should I run out and get the much lighter aluminum 51t now that we have picked a gearing to stick with? Also while were at it can one of the experts explain this "unsprung" weight thing to me, I know that's what they refer to it as since a few mechanics told me they would never run the steel when I asked at the races this weekend.
