Re: Gearing Commander
I see that now. So what did you end up going with? I'm probably about to do a -1 on the front. I'll go from there, but I think it will be good for now.

Re: Gearing Commander
What bike are you doing? 759/600? If it's the 600 do the -1 +2. If it's the 750 do one or the other(basically the same). The +2 will wear less on the bike.
I went with the -1. To me it put the bike how it should have been. I don't do 155+ too often so it works out well. Remember you will need a speedo healer

Re: Gearing Commander
Go with the-1 +2. Extremely common for 600 to do this

Re: Gearing Commander
I care enough that when I see a cop I can slow down close enough to the speed limit and know it.

Re: Gearing Commander
I used this extensively when trying to optimize my gearing for different tracks. Very helpful tool!

Re: Gearing Commander
eh, I just know about how far off it is and do the math in my head. It's always higher anyway, so if the dash says 65 and the speed limit is 65 you're safe, although probably pissing the people off behind you for only doing 55.milesmiles wrote:I care enough that when I see a cop I can slow down close enough to the speed limit and know it.

Re: Gearing Commander
Yeah, this. The speedo will only read low if you go up on the front and down on the rear.DarcShadow wrote:eh, I just know about how far off it is and do the math in my head.

Will and I set mind up to be more accurate. It's about 5 off when doing 100 or so

Guy I work with has some home built trikes. He uses a nice GPS speedometer.
