gearing

Ok i have been looking and looking can not find what im looking for really. I want to know what kind of gearing I should be running on my 650 the bike came with 15/42 sprockets on a 5.10/18 tire I really dont need to be doing 150 MPH on the dirt I plan on mostly trail rides and some fire roads...

Going down the straight away, power shifting as fast as I can. No Clutch, sometimes when going into 4th or 5th gear, the bike pops up out gear, nasty grinding noise, revs shoot up. Is it because I am not hitting the shifter hard enough or what?? It usually goes back into gear soon after this...

What Gearing is everybody running on the Fx450?? I was running stock 13/52 but went to 12/52 for racing but find I am not climbing hills as good as my 08 Sx250. I find the bike spins up to quick and just looses traction, any gearing I can go to that might help this?

I'm 'm due for new chain and sprockets on my 09 FE450 with Rekluse. My bike was pre delivered with 14 /52 which seamed ok, but since doing a little research I understand this should have been 13 /52. I ordered 13/ 52 sprockets, and my local shop tells me 52's are currently out of stock and...

Hi i'm new here, barely posted but just wanted to say; 'hello'. :D I need to know the correct gearing for a 570. :D I can't decide whether it's 13/52 or 12/49? i tried 12/48 but the engine just went round and round and that was no good so i tried 12/47 and then 13/51? :D my favourite was...

Hey guys, Want to do an SM upgrade to my 08FE450. I love where the stock gearing is at i think I top out right around 90-100 and I wanted to know what primary and driven sprockets I will need if I switch to 17" wheels. I also wanted to know what other associated parts i will need i am buying...

I have just purchased a brand new 2010 fe570 and i am running it in my first impresion is the gearing is way to low and in saying this i have just come from a 2008 fe650 which has excellent standard gearing i have read all the gearing post the rinding i do is mostly open tracks with yhe...

How are you FE 390 riders getting along with the bike's overall gearing? Feeling the need to change it up, or fine with it as is? At a quick pace through the lower gears, does the transmission feel too "gappy"? I'm not seeing a lot of options for it, being that the rear chain ring is about as...

FE570..... I currently run 13 / 38 thinking of changing to 13/48 there is also 50 / 51. What do you folks run? mainly road use hoping for greenlaning aswell. Cheers Ian

What gearing should I be running , for tight single track ? I bought bike used with 13/50 on bike . I have a 45 , 48, 50, 52, 53 in trailer . I rode 35 miles last weekend , bike did great . Not sure what I should be running ?

What gearing works best on the new FE 450, its got 13-52 on as standard, anyone changed them about? Anything to look out for on the new bikes? Brookester

Hey Guys, Just picked myself up some 17" motard rims/tyres and front radial mount caliper etc and I am wondering about gearing for these wheels. I had a quick search around but couldnt find what i was after. I wont be racing, just commuting with a little recreational riding every now and...

Hi Guys, here's a chart I found a while back for the gearing and speed of the 650. Hope this helps REAR GEAR/ FRONT GEAR/ RATIO/ TOP SPEED(KM/H) 38/ 13/ 2,923076923/ 178.13 38/ 14/ 2,714285714/ 191.83 38/ 15/ 2,533333333/ 205.5 38/...

Probably been asked before, but I'm new to the Forum, new to Husabergs, and new to Off-road bikes. Just scored a FE450 (2004) and hoping to do some Enduro events in the near future. The present gearing is 14 front 48 rear. Is this normal or do I need to change it (needing new sprockets and...

what gearing are people running on their 570 and what top speed does it seem like you are getting ?? I've had some conflicting feedback...............I'm chasing about 165-170kph top speed some have said that 14:52 will do the trick where as others said thats too low and needs to be about...

I dual sported an FE 400 (1999), been trying to make gearing more street worthy. The current CS sprocket is a 13. I can't locate a source for taller gearing. any shops/suppliers you would suggest? pre 2000 seems to be an issue. bob

right just to clarify best gearing for outright speed is 16frnt 38 rear? or is it possible to go smaller rear? or bigger front? Chris.

for those that have done engine rebuilds you will have dreaded that moment....the moment when you peer (sp?) down the side of the rod, the crank, the barrel, the piston and try to time the balancer with the gear on the intermediate shaft. on the pre '03s this was easier as the crank had...

My 05 Fe 650 came with 15/45 gearing and 114 links. It's works for me in the tight tracks. You got to be aware because it keeps you moving pretty good. I like it because you need to be able to get up and over stuff on rocky hills. I was wondering if anyone runs this ratio and if some ride with...

Has anyone tried 13/50 gearing on an FE450? I have been running 14/50 and it is fine but there are times in the really tight stuff that a bit lower gearing would be better. I used to run 13/50 or 13/52 on my KTM450s with good luck. I really dont care about top speed. As long as the bike...
