Dale Lineweaver advises that a good street setup for my 05 fe 650 would be one where the bike will cruise at between 4000 and 5000rpm. If I understand Gearing Commander: Motorcycle Speed, RPM, Chain & Sprockets Calculator correctly, I could pair my 15t front with a 40t rear on a 140/80 18" rear tire/wheel, and be in the motor's sweet spot.
Very new to this, so I would appreciate any thoughts from those who have experimented with different sprocket permutations.
Does this seem a viable setup for a street biased dual sport setup using stock wheels sizes>?
