K4 gixxer600 gearing at Pacific (not a duplicate post!)

duplicate post! :thefinge: j/k

Instead of having to decide the gear for the corner and the gearing, just draw a line in the sand and say "I'm gonna take T2 in 3rd and change my gearing to get a good drive there."

I can't be as specific as you want, but I'd try running the 190, adding a few teeth in the rear and cornering in the higher of the 2 gears you experiment with.

 

What are you taking 2/4/7 in?

 

If you think these woes are bad on a 750, try it on a 600. If you're hitting your limiter by T-1 I'd say your probably about as good as your gonna get? No?

 

I'll tell you what gearing to use for $15.

 

meh.

 

Ya know...more power would solve all your gearing problems:evil4:

 

Sounds like the new CBR doesn't have a close-ratio tranny. My 636 is in the same boat :x But at least I get good drive out of every corner and barely bounce off the limiter into T1. That bike is running -1/+4 w/ a 190/60 rear.

How about adding a tooth up front then?

 

it's a gix600 on the track.

 

I'll tell you what I'm doing on my '07 600 (which probably has slightly different internal gearing).

-1/+ 1 (15/44) with a Pirelli 190 rear.

T1 - no limiter!
T2 - 3rd
T3&4 - 2nd
Back Straight - up to 4th
T5,6&7 - 3rd
T8 - 4th
T9 - 3rd
T10 - choice of 1st or 2nd (kinda in between gears). I find using second forces me to work on my Bus Stop corner speed more.

 

I don't read thread titles, they're for jerks. :thefinge:

 

Drop a tooth or two in the rear, then take T2 in 3rd and carry more corner speed through T4 and T7. You don't really wanna be hitting the limiter on the straight - that's "perfect" in a race, but when you're looking for improvement it'll hold you back.

T1 - 6th
T2 - 3rd, up to 4th on exit
T3 - 2nd
T4 - 2nd, up to 5th on back straight (can short shift or just stick with 4th if needed)
T5 - 3rd
T6 - 3rd
T7 - 3rd
T8 - 3rd, hit 4 on exit
T9 - 3rd
T10 - 2nd

Also, you're right about the +/-. A smaller sprocket in the rear, a larger sprocket in the front, or a larger rear wheel, will increase your top speed and decrease your acceleration (higher gearing). Most bikes are geared way too high for PR/SRP stock, so riders increase the size of the rear or drop the size of the front.

 

Hey Mr. OOk. If it helps on my 10r I'm +1 in the back.

 

Strange... I didn't realize they changed the internal gearing from '05 to '06 so much. If you're running stock gearing, and still need to go with taller gearing, that's way different than mine.

Grab a couple sprockets and take them to the track next time, and swap them out between sessions.... see what works best for ya.
