Aren't the gear ratios different in the transmission from the K1 to the K6?Throttlestop said:The odd thing about it is that Suzuki never changed the sizes of the front and rear sprockets from the K1 through to the K6. 17 in front and 42 in the rear.
I'd stay with the 530 for strength, I like Regina chains and Afam sprockets.:cheersChoi85 said:so i'm thinking about getting hte -1 front. Which one now? 520, 525, 530? Same old stock chain. And also, which brand?
Yes, internally. On the K5/K6, the transmission gears were changed, that altered the individual ratios (closer). I've seen a post here on the 1000 forum that listed the stock 1st to 5th internal gear ratios and final reduction ratio for the K1, K3 and K5 series. Do a search and it'll pop up.Smokey74 said:Aren't the gear ratios different in the transmission from the K1 to the K6?
Does anyone know if this sort of speedometer error is correctable with a PCIII or other tuner?68Cuda said:I went one down in the front on my '04 gixxer 1000 and ended up not liking it. The front wheel came up way to easily in the first 2 gears with throttle only. It actually slowed me down a bit. It also threw off my speedometer (made it read higher) thus causing extra miles that I didn't travel.
