phil ten is on a distinguished road
14T front actual difference

Hi

Got a JT front 14T sprocket that im prob going to put on. my issues with the Ten are..

1) 1st gear down hill, it seems to tall therefore to fast on none/closed throttle.

2) slow speed control means quite a lot of feathering the clutch. but to combat this, i just ride faster

3) on the motorway in 5th you need to be around 4600 - 4900RPM to smooth it out, if you sit just below 4500RPM it buzzes and just feels crap.

4)if your doing a hill climb is 2nd the engine is chugging / getting bogged down...like you need be in a 1.5 gear (1st is no good as it spins)

My bike is stock and i know the Kev mod / airfilter /exhaust mods help. Im going to do all this (plus more) over the winter.

So...if i put the 14T on the front what will that do to the things ive listed?

Thanks
Phil
