Those big pistons must give some torque Shep.
My bike wouldnt pull 15/42 downhill with the wind behind.

14/45 at Snett. PeteYates' bike flew past down the back straight and up the hill on the start/finish.

14/47 Cadwell, 14/46 Oulton, Donnington & Castle Combe, 14/48 Brands & Mallory.

My gearing dont seem to matter when bikes on its side!!

Which is pretty much the same as 15/44

On my 583 with the 2 to 1 Primary drive
(some have 2.28 to1 while others have 1.85 to 1)
I ran
15/41 Snetterton and Castle Combe
15/43 Brands, Cadwell woodlands
15/42 Cadwell, Donington, Oulton

IIRC

Shhh, I was keeping quiet about the 15/45 Snet special....

Mainly 'cos I wasn't fast enough to use it and avoid being Piked!

Didn't bother changing the gearing, just altered the tyre pressures......a lot
