Front sprockets

Anyone see a problem with uping from a 21 tooth front to a 24? I think that it will be easier on the engine on prolonged highway speeds and get better gas mileage. I have done the mod a few days ago and now do 60mph at 3000 rpm in top gear. It still takes off quickley and by the time I let the clutch out on take off, I am up to 25 mph.

RE: Front sprockets

sounds like your engine is definitly gonna like it. cant advise on chains but i changed my front pulley, made an awsome difference in high gear, i does chug slightly in low.

If you can pick up a recent copy of American Iron Magazine (July 2005) they have an article titled Drive Ratios that can help and at the end of the article web sites for more info.
