| Registered Forum User WSB Hero Bikes: 1993 - 944SS & Aprilia Falco  Posts: 7,795 Join Date: Oct 2002 Location: north east Altered gearing via Sprocket changes Woooooooooo Hooooooooooooooo Just changed the rear sprocket on my 900ss from the standard 37T to a 41T and the different is almost unbeliveable. Its like a different bike. The main effect is that for the same speed it appears to have pushed the engine revs up by at least 500rpm (sorry too busy having fun at present). But the benifits are two fold - first, there seems to much less chain snatch at lower speeds, like around town. 2) I'm changing gears less frequently already as the top gears seem suitable for just about everywhere - and because of this my riding feels a little smoother (or perhaps I'm fooling myself). The downside is that I keep looking for another gear in the box after top - because it feels like she could EASILY pull another gear. But there again - I forgot to mention that she now PULLS LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN  Regards - Frank | |
