Yeah, I am torn. I like wheelies in 2nd and 3rd with stock gearing. I would like to run 2nd and 3rd more in the tighter stuff without winding out the motor in 1st or 2nd comparitively. Putting around would be good with lower gearing, but I don't do alot of that either.
Also, I can barely get 85 miles to a stock tank now with my mods, so mileage would suffer even more. I don't do a lot of high mileage trips, but I run a section of road that has a lot of twisties and is 95 miles between fuel opps and I can make it with a couple quarts of of extra gas in the tail bag..........maybe not with lower gearing.
In the past everytime I have geared down, I eventually go back to stock. Maybe I should go down a couple teeth and run 1st and 2nd for tight stuff and wheelies. :think:
Out!
