ok well when i bought my ZXR 400, she came witha load of spares - sprockets, screen, mirrors, couple of levers, fairing and a tank...
well just wondering what a good sprocket set up is, the spare sprockets i got are 15t/45t, not too sure whats on there atm, but want opinions and if possible a gearing chart.
cheers, B

Re: sprocket set up
15/45 is the standard gearing
or 16/45 for a SP
Send me your e-mail I've got a super little gearing chart thingy

Re: sprocket set up
think standard is actually 15/47
mine is 14/45 and picks up speed very quickly.

Re: sprocket set up
Standard IS 15/45
IF (and believe me it isn't) standard gearing WAS 15/47 and you had 15/45 fitted then accerlation would be reduced because 15/45 is taller gearing.
Page 1-6 of the general information in the H model manual informs us the 15/45 is the standard gearing.
And page 1-4 of the L model manual/supplement informs us that the gearing is also 1545 stamndard for he L model
As I said send me your e-mail and I'll send you a gear chart that will show exactly what changes a different sized sprockets can make to top speed etc etc etc
