So is it ok to gear 15-38 for 1st-4th or 14-42 2nd to 6th?

with your mods you should be able to pull tall gears a 14/42 should explode, youd probally be able to launch in fourth or even fifth, a 15/38 is only 6 teeth taller than stock, your bike should just haull ass with a 16 or 17 up front Edited May 20, 2006 by Blue Duece

But if im crossing the line in 5th gear, possibly 4th is that ok or should i be pasing in 6th?

i dont want to scroll back and read this all, whats the distance?.......im racing the 100 yard dash so i guess thats 300 feet and ill just be getting sixth when i cross, but you could cross it in second it depends on how you ride, i shift when i know that my next tallest gear will pull harder than the one im in now will, how do you feather your clutch, i just know if you have the hp to pull tall gears the bike will accelerate more rapidly therefore you kinda go faster quicker

ok i race 200m and at the moment im taking off in 1st gear and crossing the line in 5th (15-41). Im just wondering if i geared up so that its something like 16-40 and i pass the line in perhaps 4th gear, is that ok or am i loosing power?
