In effect swapping an overdrive 6th gear, you have a granny 1st gear? It really depends where you live and ride, huh? Personally I like having that really tall 6th to nurse me to a fuel station when I get down to low fuel.

I just love the GRUNT I now have!! Will not change back. I always start with a full tank - play HARD in the twisties and mountains - can do 270 km if I'm just enjoying a nap on the bike or 230 if I "play" No problem with fuel station along the road! Regards.

 

Did you really need to take the clutch slave of? 🐵

 

Yep, makes changing out the front sprocket allot easier.

Been running on the 16/40 front and rear sprocket now for 3 years. Highly Recommend!!

Don't forget to replace the

I went up 2 on the back...that was enough.

 

The stock SD-R and GT gearing will not pull 100 km/hr in 6th - the Oz national speed limit.

+2 on the back fixes the problem.

 

. . . will not pull 100 km/hr in 6th

What does this mean?

 

My 2015 was -1 CS because we did a lot of urban riding, sometimes I'd have passenger around town. But it made 1st to 2nd REALLY short. I even purchased an aftermarket quickshifter. Reading old threads on gearing changes it seems I forgot to use a new toothed CS ring, ha.
After today's ride I'm definitely going +2 rear (oem CS) on the Gen 3 with QS because my urban riding is minimal and passenger pegs were taken off. FWIW I'm 75kg geared up.

 

Hey JWC! Thanks for your post. I'm looking to go 16/40 on my 2023 SDR. What's the update. Still loving it? I can't seem to find a site that I can purchase from. Would you have a link and or maybe some advice when changing it out?

Thank in advance! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Yes I am very satisfied and will not go back to OEM - should have been like this from the factory. The front sprocket I got from KTM but the rear was problematic so I imported it from Italy: Carpi Moto
