Default 2020 Transmission gear Ratios
Does anyone know where I can access the gear ratios for each gear in a 2020 Ultra ? Would like to compare them to previous bikes.
Thanks Jonnierock

Something seems a miss here. These are the ratios from my 2012 ultra. Seems strange the numbers are so different can anyone shed some light?

I believe that the overall is the gear ratios taking into affect overall output. I'm looking for the the output ratio of the main shaft in each gear if this makes sense. Which is usually one to one in 6th unless it's overdrive which would then have a ratio of 1.1 or more, so as to be over driven compared to the input RPM's.
Thanks Jonnierock

Divide the overalls by 2.875 to get the transmission ratios.

Overall is at the rear wheel, figuring in the transmission ratio and the front & rear sprocket ratio.
