Suitable for high-speed touring
[How is it used?
Since we do a lot of highway touring, we decided to switch from the OEM 15T to a 17T in order to lower the engine RPM during high-speed cruising and to improve fuel economy. In addition, the chain was converted from 530 to 520 to reduce drive resistance.
Was the one you received as per Image?
I searched around in Webig's Site and found a 520Size 17T that could be used for the FZS600. This research was quite Large strange (lol). What I received was just a cogwheel as shown in the Image (lol).
Was the installation difficult?
I have an Impact Driver, so I did the work myself, but normally it is better to have a motorcycle shop do it for you. The side with more convexity on the drive shaft is the outside, and the side with less convexity (lower) is the engine side. If you install it the other way around, the chain line will be out of alignment. This Sprocket is a 520Size for Conversion Sprocket, so there is no need to use a washer to adjust the chain line.
How was your experience with it?
With the OEM 15T, the RPM was 5000 at 100km/h. After changing to this 17T, the RPM was 4250 at 100km/h. I really wanted to set the RPM to 4000 at 100km/h, but I gave up because the acceleration would be worse if I set the RPM to higher gear. The acceleration was a little bit slow. The jerkiness at low speeds is clearly reduced, and it is very smooth. In case of FZS600, I think the original OEM 15T setting is too low. Fuel economy is not drastically improved, but it runs around 24km per liter on the conStunt.
[Included Parts:were they on?
Included Parts:is nothing.
[Was there anything that disappointed you?
Nothing in particular, but I was wondering if it was something like this, since this 17T Sprocket, which is meatless, weighed 190g while the 16T Sprocket, which is not meatless, weighed 188g. w
