The bmw is such a clean revving engine. Gearing is certainly a good thing to experiment with without spending crazy money. Great Video!

I just did this on my 2019 street triple RS. Had a 16 tooth front sproket. Went down to a 15 tooth. Made a big difference, the rs was geared far to high. Had you as my coach at PI in December George. Thanks for all your help, you helped me identify a nasty habit I had.

@@TheBikeStig yeh, my understanding was that on modern bikes with abs the speed is read from the rear wheel. I rode a KTM 1290 superduke last week. Even that was gear super high, it was just cruising in 3rd gear at 100kph. I’m not sure why manufacturers do it. Maybe for sound regulations or fuel consumption? Yeh George you picked up I was accelerating whilst still leaning. I reflected after and realised I had been doing it for years 😬

@@jimbo1485 I didn't know that about speed reading, interesting. Yeah the KTMs big bores seem to be super high geared. I rode an RC8 for a while and top gear was ridiculously high. Whack some decent gearing on that 1290 and man that would be a hooligan machine :-)

I fancy going 16/47 too, on my k63 s1000r. Stock gearing is 17/45. I've bought a 16t already from afam, but haven't found anyone that produces a 47t yet (I'm sticking with steel 525 for longevity). I'm sure jt or afam with come out with a 47t soon as that's the standard rear sprocket on the new m1000r. I'll probably also try and extend the wheelbase a bit with a longer chain.

Hey mate. I know this is an older video and it looks like you've moved on to the latest greatest RR, but just quickly did DTC change in the way that it acted? To the extent of my knowledge it should, as the lookup tables are based off front and rear wheel speed and lean angle to name a few. By changing the gearing of the gearing (aka sprocket size) this should push us into faster rows. Did you feel a difference?
@TheBikeStig
4 ай бұрын
still got the 15/16 model mate, cant part with it lol. No mate, DTC was not affected at all. Changing gearing changes what revs the engine is at for a given speed and gear which is not a factor in DTC (as far as I know). It is more concerned with lean angle and wheel spin.

@@TheBikeStig Thank you. I was concerned because I was told by an other rider the % rear spin is calculated from the sprocket RPM (aka engine RPM with ratios applied) rather than the ABS sensor, like it is in the front - either way I'm glad that it doesn't change anything. Will definitely purchase this setup once my stock sprockets and chain are worn. Last Question. Have you ever done anything to the stock suspension? The DDC has always given me a vague feeling from the front. The system has always done exactly what it was designed to do, but in a way which required faith, rather than trust I saw there is a company in the Netherlands that has designed a plug and play system called TracTive. Funky naming aside, at six thousand kangaroos and very little in terms of rider feedback on the forums it has given me pause if I should bother, or just sell my 16 and use the 6K and a little change to upgrade to the new gen. Here is the system I am referring to - have you heard of it? tractivesuspension.com/shop/motorcycle/bmw-motorcycle/s1000rr-2015-2018-bmw-motorcycle/bmw-s1000rr-rear-shock-ex-cellent/

Hey mate, great video once again and very informative! I am considering buying a new chain and sprocket kit for my 2017 bmws1000rr to generally make the bike accelerate as fast as possible without sacrificing how it feels and handles, also durability. Can you recommend any good quality kits, otherwise I would get a similar kit like yours in the video?? Your advice would be much appreciated. Thankyou

I went straight to Al Samuels at Race Dynamics in Sydney and bought the items individually. The rear sprocket had to be ordered from Italy as I went up 1 tooth but wanted a high quality and durable lightweight sprocket that would fit the HP wheels. That said, I am sure there are good kits out there. Re the down 1 at the front and up 1 at the rear, works fantastic and no sacrifice to handling and feel mate.

@TheBikeStig

Seriously! It don't believe it can be related to the sprockets as they don't affect this unless you have something technically wrong. The only thing that comes to mind about what can go wrong fitting this is the routing of the cable past the front sprocket cover and something associated with the quick shifter when you fitted the front sprocket. Make sure you're off the gas fully for downshift and on the gas for upshift, other than that, I have no idea what that would be.

I am doing roll races from 60-170 mph. My 2020 r1 has pretty long gears stock. But I don’t know if I should gear up or down one to get better 60-170 mph acceleration?
@TheBikeStig
2 жыл бұрын
interesting question, I know that by changing gear the way I have, the gearing ratios get closer together (I think thats the correct way to say it) and you get to maximum torque earlier as the engine revs. I also can tell you that on my bike it comes out of corners much harder ... so my thoughts would be that provided you don't lose top end speed you need, you would get more acceleration. Might be worth finding someone who has re-geared an R1 to find out. For me, I'd try 1 tooth down at the front to start with.
