Hi my ttr rides ok but feels like I'm thrashing it at 55mph my rear sprocket is a 49 and my front is 13. I would like a little more top end speed for road use but would like it to still have power when needed too.  What would you guy recommend? What are other people running on?

Chris, I made an Excel spreadsheet specifically to help me choose TTR sprockets and wheel size that alter gear ratios, top speed, gear speeds, etc, etc.

If you, or anyone else, would like a copy then PM me your email and I'll send a copy to you.

It is only 526KB big and doesn't take up a lot of bandwidth to send.

Here's a screen shot below.gif

Fill in the variables and you can then see what happens.

Hi Chris , I'm running 14/48 on my ttr , just done 1960 kilometres in France trail and road just about right I think , plenty of grunt on trails and not over revving on road.
