Race Sprockets

[bigsheep_imp]

If the speedo is calculating how many times the wheel spins to determine speed how would a sprocket change affect that? It's using OD of the wheel and RPM of the wheel, the sprocket and engine speed would not affect it at all, unless I'm missing something... which I usually am when it comes to mechanical things.

There are two limiters, one which limits the redline in any gear, (which I manage to hit easily after riding my CBR600 for the day) and the other which limits the top speed at 110 MPH. I've read somewhere that it only limits in gears 4,5 and 6, so you could exceed the top speed of 110 in third gear if the conditions where right.

With these race sprockets Gearing Commander indicates a top speed of 107.4 MPH with a 16/45 for the CB, which means with stock gearing and a limiter of 110 we're leaving a lot on the table. Mind you it's speed I would never use really...
