    What is stock gearing for the 2006 SMR 510?

    My 2008 came with 14-42. I like to run 15-42 for general riding since it a bit less buzzy at highway speed but put on 13 front for track days to get the most out of it.

    Great mine is stock then, Thanks for the fast replies guys! I defiantely think it would need taller gearing for the street, but smaller gearing would be crazy, it already feels like I'm shifting every 3 seconds :)
    On a related note, could you tell me how much drive chain slack I should have? In the manual it shows a funky way of measuring it that I didnt really understand. It showed that you should press the chain up against the chain slider (from the bottom of the chain) and take some measurement that is supposed to be 0-2mm..... I normally measure chain slack on the top of the chain about mid way between both sprockets and lift the chain up with my finger and measure the gap between the bottom of the chain and the top of the chain slider......?

    Whats up Luigic!?!? :D

    I think you should do like jaro51 and just swap out the front sprocket for different conditions. I rode that monster and it can certainly pull some taller gearing without issue.

    I think the manual says to push the chain down towards the slider and there should be 2mm (or whatever it is) when the chain is at full tension.

    I just use the 3 finger rule since it has a linkage.

    is that 3 finger rule 2 in the pink and 1 in the stink?? :)

    The only reason I asked is becuase the chain starting rubbing my rear tire on my ride yesterday
