  3. Just about to get my red one fitted (again from Bigrisk, excellent service) while in for it's 7500 service. Tho was advised to have new cush rubbers as the old ones don't fit as well once out. So that's an extra hundred :Meh:..........still least the red looks nice :Facepalm::D

  4. I changed my sprockets and chain at 11000 miles, chain and rear sprocket still had loads of life left in it. Front sprocket was starting to hook but the cush drive rubbers where as new!

  5. How much top end speed did you lose with that mod?

    Cheers

  6. Not enough to notice but power wheelies are lot easier!

  7. My DVT sits on 14km/h at idle on the flat with std sprockets how much slower will it run with the 42 tooth or 14 tooth sprocket fitted?

  9. Is the dvt in the commander site now? It's quite different I reckon to the older multi

  10. As a rough guide you are changing the gearing by one twentieth or 5% so at any given speed in any gear the RPM will be increased by 5%. I would expect your 14km/h to become 13.3km/h.

  11. Don't think its worth the hassle for a 5% decrease in low end speed thanks for the info

  12. Proabably biggest benefot is being able to use secomd around town more, ratter than dropping to first undr 25 or so

  13. ^ this, plus rather snappier acceleration and better overtake punch when cruising on the motorways.

  14. Having recently geared down my 1200S (pre-DVT) and then ridden the DVT last week, the very first thing I'd do with the DVT is gear it down - it's not about the smoothness of the DVT engine (which is remarkable) but being the right gear for responsive riding whether town riding or on the open road, and the DVT just felt too tall-geared.

  15. Got my 42 tooth rear sprocket fitted today (from Bigrisk). What a difference, much, much nicer to ride around town. The gearing just feels right now. Also had some 'laugh out loud' moments out of town. Money well spent.

    Apparently the noise level test is taken at full throttle, 30mph in 2nd gear. In order to get it through many bikes are mapped/geared to be a bit lumpy rather than revving sweetly at 30mph/2nd to keep the noise down.

  16. ....and another bonus: I'm more aware of the induction noise, especially in lower gears. Give it a handful and you can really hear the air being sucked in.
