On any bike I have ever owned, I always wanted a taller top gear. My 05 FZ6 spins around 5kRPM at 60 MPH.
I have changed out a countershaft (front) sprocket before to save the cash that the rear costs. I am looking to go a tooth up to a 17 or an 18 prior to stepping down a few teeth in the rear, but I am concerned with clearance of the larger front sprocket.
I have seen several owners here do the opposite for power, but I am looking to press the MPG envelope. Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom for me?
Thanks,
Mike
