[QUOTE="OnAnySunday, post: 17946, member: 20641"] Just put a new rear sproket on the ol' '82 XL500r and was sorta curious...... The stock gearing on this bike was 15 / 43. I've got it at 14 / 43 right now, but could barely notice a difference off-road. On road it's top speed seems to suffer though. (sounds a bit busy down there at 80+ mph!) Do big thumpers benefit from lower gearing that much? (in y'alls opinion.) Or is it just wasted because of big 4-strokers (500+cc) massive torque output? Maybe i'm not gearing down enough to notice a difference though? Any input from the big cc Honda XR / XL riders out there? Thanks in advance! [img]http://dirtrider.net/ubb2/smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]
