Changed Final Drive Gearing 2013

[CIP57_imp]

This was the result of pondering on my ride yesterday after reading this discussion and wondering about where the tone was headed lol

I'm not sure what I posted proves anything one way or the other, more a personal philosophy about how to use the transmission on a closed course with a specific goal in mind. My brother was a flat tracker and carried a stack of front and rear sprockets for different tracks, but again not sure that says anything about physics other than certain combos of gears worked better on one track over another track due to specific conditions.

Generally I know in drag racing you gear down for say an eigth mile or quarter mile run, but not sure how that relates to a given circumstance as in a 60- 80 mph one gear acceleration test.

Mickey, i think this thread has a lot of valuable information thats why it was created. Bob has some very interesting opinions regarding physics and history. But they are opinions and not facts for this particular application.

One of the premier tuners in the northeast (Ivans) does all his final testing on the road not on a mechanical dyno, or lets say real world test.

Its healthy to have these discussions as long as they don't get out of hand.

Please leave this thread up for people who are interested in the gearing of the CB1100, as far as any more discussion regarding the above I'll leave it to the facts which i can produce upon demand.

Cheers
