Well went to Donny for last weekend.
:D :D :D :D
It was the first long ride i have done since i changed my sprockets. I now have 1 bigger front and rear. Filled up on the M1 and my fuel light has just come after 119.8 miles. I know i was not hammering it but i was going up and down the box alot because of traffic jams on the M1 and then booted it through London. I think i could manage to get 130 miles before i run out on 122 at the mo. Also i could get a bit more fuel in the tank if i filled up sitting on the bike as it's lowered at the front and raised at the rear and leans over much more than standard. I think i could 140 on a run up the motorway.
I know that it's a bit of false reading because of the new sprokets but it's not that far out.
Best see where there's bike racing in europe and find out.
:D :D

1 bigger front AND back? Why would you put a bigger front in?

Well that would definitely higher the gearing with a bigger front one = more miles to the gallon :!:

I recon he meant one smaller on the front :wink:

I'm running 15/44 and noticed a change from about 80 miles to the RLOD upto about 100 (actual, corrected for gearing change) miles afterwards.
