Hey guys,
i was searching through forum and i couldn't find any answers. I just did my basic research on sprockets size and gearing changes. It's very difficult topic though and very hard to imagine the result with just looking on numbers. Basically I'm looking for a way to add more torque to my R3 running stock sprockets and chain - 14/43 520. I'm looking to change the gearing for way more torque. I don't really care about top speed since I do not commute on highways and I live in the EU so the speed limits are really strict here with police around every corner. I'm not racing or anything I just want more torque to have fun around town. Also don't want to overkill it making the gearing and the bike too jerky.
If anyone went for torque with sprocket size could you please post your setup with sizes of chain etc?
I just want to know what is safe to go for and what types to order.
I wanted to try following:
stock front and +3 rear
-1 front and +2 rear
Is it possible to go for -1 front +3 rear? Is it safe?
Thanks for the replies guys I really do appreciate the help.
Cheers,
David
