17/50 Stock gearing. I think it's alright, actually, but I'm used to my Ninja 300 which also has famously short gearing.

I don't think one tooth is going to make much difference. I'm not sure why CSC doesn't offer a 47 or even a 45 tooth?

Loyalhanna Dam and recreational area this afternoon. It was cold, about 39F but I found a public road not far from there that was an odd sort of 50/50 gravel and asphalt, a bit like a fresh tar'n'chip road but with much heavier gravel.
I now know what I've been missing. Such a road would have terrified me on my sportbike; on this surface the tyres moved around just enough to be an absolute hoot. ![]() |

They're terrific bikes. I use mine pretty much every day, if the weather is good enough.

Nice Bike, and great video. Thanks for posting it. My bike came with 17 / 46 gearing. After riding it a bit on and off road. I'm pretty happy with it the way it is. I'm just going to slap a new Unibear chain on it and call it good. I wonder if the Hawk, TT, Brozz, Blaze, Storm, WILL, etc all have the same sprockets? As in bolt pattern, etc.

I think they all use the same.

I think I'll order a handful of sprockets just to try out. I don't want to lose too much of the bike's punch (I really like it) but I'd like to be able to do the odd 3-5 mile 55 mph run to get to some places quicker. From what i've read the 47 or 49 (already have 49 ready to go) should be alright.
I'm about a third of the way through break-in so I'm not in any hurry, as I haven't really pushed it at high revs yet. Are the JT249 series the right ones? Some searching suggest they are. Any fit issues? |

I still am at stock gearing and haven't even put my exhaust/jetting on yet and can do 60 no problem after break in

I got my neighbor the same 47 tooth for Christmas that I put on Mrs 2LZ TT. I rode both and the 47, while making each gear a little leggier, didn't let it lose its low end or trail-ability.
It's really about riding preference and your areas needs. (hills, flats, curves, straights, etc..) on which gearing you'll prefer.

I think a 49 or 47 will be perfect. There's a lot of hills around here and I don't want to lose the 4th gear pull. |
