What an improvement
 

Seeing as the roads were dry in my parts today and I wasn`t working this afternoon, I finally got to test ride my SL with a 39t back sprocket that I got off Frank (iconic944ss) fitted to the bike.
What a difference this simple mod has made, bike seems smoother, picks up cleaner amd transmission lash is no where near as bad at low speed. If you have a 900SS/L I cannot recommend this mod enough, I always thought my problems were carburation based but this slight change in gearing has transformed the bike :D:D:D:D
Thanks Frank

Ian :D

No problem Muchacho !!! I'm glad it helped. I think it is one of the easiest and most satisfying mods to do in that the 'payback' is instant.

I'm glad you can get out already, the roads are still cacky around here (up Norf) and I'm already itching to get out on my baby.

Cheers - Frank

Ian,
 

Glad you found such an improvement.
I dropped the front by one tooth and also find that that works as weell, although I know there's a train of thought that talks about "stressing" the engine/gearbox a bit.
So now Im running 14/40 and does she pull a lot faster
Im just trying to calculate the %'s of difference, guess nelly could do it blindfold. but I think Ive lost 7%, say 10mph off top speed but gained 7% faster acceleration.
The rear end difference is 2 1/2%, but I dont quite think it works like that.
BTW the AGM was great and I met a whole new load of ppl.
