I want to gear up to lower the rpm at 70 mph. Rather than add a tooth on the front, l was thinking about swapping the rear with a 3 tooth smaller sprocket. Has anyone tried this? What is the stock gearing on a 2014 standard?
Thank you. I'm not able to find any smaller rear sprockets online other than the OEM 39. Anyone know where l can get a 19 front?
You might also try this thread. It's a little less long-winded:
Remember that 2014 & 2017 6-speed models have different internal gearing - both 5th and 6th are overdrives compared to a 2013. If you decide to go with a smaller rear, aluminum sprockets are available, but they will wear out much quicker.
contact these guys, they will make any sprocket you want, and they do it in house. I had them do a crazy offset one with a custom carrier for my rd in an odd chain pitch and was surprisingly cheap. a smaller oem style CB one should be no problem.
