Default 103,107 and 113 powered bikes............

is it just me or does anyone else find them selves in 6th gear earlier than when it was a stock 96in ????????
i find myself in hi gear more often because the low end power is so much more, that it just pulls alot easier..... 70mph roll on passes are a breeze, no down shifting, just twist and roll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Absolutely, just twist and go! Will pull from most anywhere.

I did change to a 30 tooth engine sprocket which brought the gearing up to the same as pre-06 models, 3.15 which helped too.....this thing is just scary fast now!
