gear calculator

I submitted the bike's specs to this online gear calculator http://www.gearingcommander.com/.
It's listed under Suzuki GZ 250 2003. Note that if you edit M.P.RPM to be 10000 the results are more cosmetic, if unattainable.

Although I'm fluent in gibberish, this one's really got me stumped.

Surely the inverse ratio of the laughing wheel to the circumference of the giggle pin should be the indefinite clause in the subjective. :roll: :crackup

Re: gear calculator

At that gearing site, just select the bike (Suzuki - GZ - 2003 GZ 250), and then... :techy: click "load gearing" :2tup:

That will fill the tables with the data that pbro entered, and you can vary the data (for instance, sprockets) and look at the results.

Those 10,000 rpm... are indeed unattainable Our engines redline at 9,000, AFAIK.

Re: gear calculator

Can you get an 18-tooth front sprocket? Never heard of anyone having more than 16 - would the bike just have no torque left what so ever?

Bike would have absolutely no power.Just barely has enough with 16t sprocket.

Re: gear calculator

I highly doubt there is enough room under the front sprocket cover to house a 18 tooth sprocket with the chain wrapped around it.

Re: gear calculator

Is the reduction in torque really that noticeable with the 16 tooth sprocket?
