With 15 x 48 on my 550 - 05 Fc Berg,what would that be on a KTM 525?
The gearing is not the same internaly and if anybody knows what the variation is that would help?
Thanks

Pardon my ignorance of the FCs (not many here in Aus) but is it the 4 speed or C/R 6 speed version- they were available in both, werent they? :? (I know early ones were)

Ive got a FE 6 speed Vs KTM 6 speed spreadsheet comparison on file somewhere..........

Converted to six speed! (05 550)

It has the same gearing as the Fe 550 internal and external.
It seems to me the Bergs are geared more lower internally than the KTMs?

Thanks

A 15/48 geared Berg with FE ratios is virtually identical to a 14/50 geared KTM 520 in the first 3 gears, and only slightly different in the last 3
 
Thanks

That is a very big difference!
No wonder I have had such a hard time dialing in my Berg. I had a few 525sxs with 6 speeds added and had them dialed. I have been trying to use only one tooth higher(in the back) on the Berg as I had no idea it was that much lower?
Thanks for the tip!
How do you figure that out?
 
I have a spreadsheet I just plug all the inputs (gear ratios, sprocket sizes, RPM , tyre height etc and it calculates it all.

Those figures above are for an FE vs EXC comparo- The MXCs and SXs are different again.
