CB550 Gearing suggestions
« on: September 25, 2014, 06:49:03 PM »
Im running cast wheels from an early 80's kawi KZ. A replacement 43 tooth sprocket to fit the rear was too good a price to miss. Gonna replace the front sprocket too along with the chain. Would going up to an 18 up front matched to the 43 out back bring the gearing closer to original stock 17/37? Keeping it 17 would make it too buzzy, yes?
