Hi guys,
I would prefer sprockets 14/52.
For the 400ccm enginge you surely need a short gear ratio.
I had a 2000 FE 400 and with 14/50 it ran really well.
The 03 model has not the same power as the 2000 model, so I would
say 14/52 is the right way. In my opinion 13 teeth at the front sprocket is a bit too small, because of wear and tear. But I see, some members here ride with a 13 for years.
Another topic: I have also a Keihin FCR on my 501. Engine runs very well but it starts not too easy. When cold I have to kick a lot of times and hot it doesn´t start very often with the electric starter, but by kicking it starts immediately after 1 or 2 kicks. I will try another setup but dont know which jets I have to use. Has anybody ideas? Please let me know.
