19/43 works for me

[brad1098]

I might be the only guy running this combo. Had some questions on how I liked it.....I wouldn't have it any other way.  Been running this combo 8,000mi.

Front 19t is one up from stock and the biggest I could buy so I went to a 43t rear and is -3 from stock.

Still loads of power, torque, same MPG, and not so buzzy from over reving the engine on hwy.  It still tachs plenty, and easy enough in first in parking lots, fields, etc.

6th gear crusing
3000rpm = 52mph
4000rpm = 67mph
5000rpm = 82mph

You must ride on the street all the time?

19T front for the road - Will idle at 15mph so off road the clutch gets a serious workout, not recommended.

17T off road - Same mileage as above, wheelie heaven!

I carry both on trips.

Stock 46T rear sprocket.

Brad, I like that. I only ride road so it appeals to me. Lots of wide open country out here.

Idle speed for 19/43 is about 9mph on my bike.  Very do-able in soybean fields, forest roads, rock levees. Anything but serious off road where the tourances and the 500lb tiger is out of place.  Thats when you take the Husky 610, oh wait, I sold that, dang.
