Hi, I purchased my first Fireblade this year. It's the rr5 model. Standard gearing is 16 - 40. I will be riding it mainly on the tracks. ( cadwell, oulton + donnington ) I'm going to put a new chain and sprockets on and wondering which gearing set up would be best suited for them sort of tracks for my model? Just wanted a bench mark to start with. Sorry for my lack of knowledge if I sound dumb. Cheers.
I run -1 +1 at bigger tracks like oulton, donny and Snet and +2 at cadwell and brands Indy. But not sure if that would suit your model?
Theres a few references on here to this site mate. Gearing Commander: Motorcycle Speed, RPM, Chain & Sprockets Calculator Nothing for specific tracks but it's interesting to experiment with the combis. Not certain just how accurate it might be though.
I been looking at this and was going on my with is 16F 42R to 44 r. But after looking at gearing calculations and so on and talking to a few people seems 1 down on the front to 15 and up to 43 Rear works well for my 2011 blade. 520 chain instead of a 530 just a idea of what i'm going for.
