16/40, ratio of the GODS.

06 SD, 85miles to light on the commute, less on a rag, 65 on track.

138mph indicated at top speed in 6th.

I'd go back to 16/38 if I had to but I noticed slightly better fuel economy at first when I got the 40T. I never ride it over 120mph and rarely even over 100mph unless its really empty roads....so I'd rather have that power at the speeds I use......cruising at 90mph at 6000rpm is fine for me.

What's the standard front sprocket fitted new? Don't really need top end, just want it a bit smoother around town. due it's first service soon so want change done then. Suggestions please
'08 SDR
550 miles on odometer
Akra rounds w/baffles, 2031 map.
16/38
6k rpm @ 100mph in 6th
10K @ 107 in 3rd
9.5k @ 128 in 4th
All approximate indicated speeds and rpm.

33-36 mpg appears to be typical.

I'm still seating the rings so the mileage will most likely improve once the newness wears off
