Do both ends of you really fancy making a name for yourself as a local wheelie ace :P |
I "accidentally" increaed the rear on the ST4s I had to 43T from 39T. I naively ordered "per the user manual" from B&C Express and they confirmed the ratios for the year. Ducati had changed the gearing though and "calmed it down" for 2002 and although having a 2001 bike it was the calmer gearing (VERY long legged). With 4 up on the rear I was popping the front wheel up just coming out of junctions if I was not careful. Gets some mixed reactions from the public ... but might draw unwanted attention too.
(sorry ... none of that has ANYTHING to do with a 2003 749!)
