Vlad's K7 GSX1400 "Back in Black"

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Same, just fitted new RK chain and sprockets, std gearing 19/41. Found the front was 17, rear was std 41. Aligned and then oiled chain with VMX 75W90 gear  oil.  Just perfect.

Std front is 18 Eric.

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Havent had a chance ride it yet, too much rain this side and i still need to change the engine  oil.

With a 27 tooth front sprocket and 41 rear it revs like mad and also the Speedo reads 10mph high so at 70mph your only doing 60mph.
Standard 18 Speedo still reads high by 5pmh
I'd think that a 19 will make the bike feel very lazy on acceleration but drop the revs at cruising speed a bit and I'd guess the Speedo should read correct speed.

I think he meant 17 tooth.  And yes it revved a bit more, but not much, i think 3200 @an indicated 110kmh. worst was the speedo being out.  Now ive put it back to standard 18/41 (sorry for the typo before) i think it will be much better

Seth has fat fingers!   (again or as usual . . .  )

I couldn't edit it but a 27tooth sprocket will give it a top speed if 1000 mph if you could ever get it going doubt it'd go round any corners though .
