Go up on the rear - 3 teeth will make a noticeable improvement apparently.

Do a search on gearing posts from Shazaam - all the information you could eat.

His username is Shazaam! (note the exclamation mark, sorry I didn't include that above)

Here is the thread that should have the info you're after.

If not, search on gearing posts by Shazaam! and make yourself a nice cup of tea and settle in.

The 749R comes with a 15 tooth front sprocket as standard. I have dropped to a 14 tooth, a huge improvement.

thanks tp

Its a 14T you want Pete. JHP about £15.00 for renthal. Cheaper than DP one. This will only make you accelerate quicker, you will still have to be in the right gear

I have a 748R and Talon make a 13t front sprocket but i think it runs the chain too tight to the swingin arm, +3 on the rear is just right

Yep

dropped mine to 14 t
