I have been researching for quite some time and finding the best sprocket teeths for my bike. The stock OEM is 16t front 46t rear. I know for sure for track usage it will be - 1 front +2 rear would be the best but made up my mind to make it up for commuting and touring. I'm planning for a tour up north in Malaysia and Thailand next year.
Previously, I had up the rear by +1 and the fuel consumption was guzzling fast as compared to a friend's fuel consumption of 420km(using stock teeths) which mine was 320km with reserve. I like the torque of going through the streets and traffic but also looking for a better speed and fuel economy.
I was thinking of getting 17t front and 47t back. Have checked on the gearcommander website on the final drive ratio and sprocket graph but was concern that the pull on the throttle would be choppy plus struggling through steep slopes and the damage to the transmission of the gears or valves. I'm wondering whether anyone tried this setup before, or should I just stick to OEM stock as suggested by another friend.
