One thing to keep in mind is there are multiple gear ratios between your engine and the ground, and they build on each other. Your tire size is the "true" final ratio, technically speaking. A bigger rear tire will have you moving faster at a given engine speed. But most people don't put tire size in these calculations. Between the crankshaft and the clutch on that bike is a (if I remember correct) 28:61 (61/28=2.179) primary reduction ratio. Then your gear selection - for example, if 5th gear is .850. Then you have your final drive ratio, which is the sprockets (42/15=2.8). So to find your overall ratio, you multiply them together. 2.179*0.850*2.8 = 5.186 turns of the engine to make the wheel spin 1 turn. Now, when you change your rear sprocket by 1 tooth, it may look like a 1% change the way you're doing the math (which is not wrong, just a different way), but divide the other direction and use it to find the overall ratio, and you'll find that it's more than a 1% change. If I do that math, at 15:43 it's about a 2.4% change from stock. At 13:43 it's about a 18.1% change from stock. So that's pretty huge!

Your bottomed out on the drive shaft and you're coming out with 5 1/2 if you do go 6 inches you'll have binding and twist your drive shaft or destroy your u-joints you go 5 in if you want a half inch play.

Hell yeah

Dang right we are 😅, we are giving this truck a new life. It's being brought back to pull that camper. We could have let it just rotted away in that old school paint you are so fond of, but a second chance at life comes with a new wrapper. Pretty good trade off. Hang in there maybe we will win you over.

You're going to repaint that awesome old school truck like that shit camper? Smdh

He bought Optimus Prime?

RIGHT HAND DRIVE, THEN LEFT SIDE DRIVE??? WTF ???

I'm in ark and if I'm onour property it's woods just a 14 is still too tall so I've ordered a 43 but going to a 520 chain , no interstate for me

maybe consider adding two more receivers to the hitch to stabilize it.... kzbin.info/www/bejne/g2HYc5KfipiEgtU

I went from 15/42 to a 14/42 right away on my new DR. Now that I have the engine completely uncorked in full hotrod setup I'm actually thinking of going to 16/42 which is what the early DRs were from factory. Just curious to see if smoother, quieter, better fuel mileage.

Thr Trump guy runnung the Post Office is the scene of the crime concerning slow mail service.

I Love the name of your channel. Great video!

Yo sick bike. Injave an XR650L Ive been considering a gearing change and this helped alot.

"I had no intention of doing that today.." Story of my MC life.

I commute up and down 787 at around 90mph on the regular. Now im questioning how fast I am really going lol. Ill have to use the app to compare tomorrow.

Great video I have been running same gears 15/43 a few years now love it

Appreciate u knowledge

Brother, on that pilot screw, im pretty sure it goes spring washer then o ring last, to make the seal....am I wrong?

Louder is not better.

Looks like mine.

does it mess with the headlights at night?

Why not try red lock tight instewd welding it .. for guys don't have welders lol duno got Dr 650 think putting it on cheap racks but duno maybe weld it .

Where did you get the mounting plate for your fuse block?

what size of jet did you use? did you modified the airbox?

Why no 14/43??

Mine came stock 16front and 42back.Never touch 4 or 5 in town.

That shot a flame 🔥 I have my Dominator on the way. Thanks so much for the review and tutorial

They have 3 db killers on the web site which one are you running

Usually I do under 60 up here on my roads...I think the 14/15-43 combo would work great

What was the 3x3 kit called on procycle having trouble finding it

Thanks for taking us a long for the ride ! I used the 14/42 sprocket ratio on our DR 650 and had a similar experience noting 60 MPH was close to what I thought the engine liked for cruising . Most of my riding is back roads with a little highway riding . I reckon at 21:50 is why Suzuki put the DR 650 out from the factory with the 15/42 sprocket ratio so it would fit in about anywhere . Do you folks have many deer in your area ? We have a lot and that's one of my biggest fear riding .

You ever put them in for anybody?

Have you tried your bike at altitude with the carb mods? You may find it is too fat above 3,500-4,000 feet.

I switched the front sprocket but left the rear stock. It gave me the ability to crawl and still hit highway speeds.

It's nice to hear about this from someone who lives south of the Mason-Dixon line like I do. I appreciate your style.

Appreciate you sharing! We got 2021 Honda talon x4. Curious, where are you guys from?

Great video. Can’t wait to make out there to Windrock.

I stumbled across it my self. Great videos!!

Great video!!!

Jaso, THX for sharing your adventure! Building a lite weight adv bike this winter to go after the same passes. Ouray is pronounced like Uray, no worries though everyone pronounces it with the O. All the best to you and Julie!

Great video and review of everything, thank you! Curious , since Mulberry lodging is full for when we want to go, does it matter where we stay? North, south, east or west sides to access the same trails? Looking for options for a airbnb for March

Greetings As always another excellent detailed video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸 Keep producing more videos.

I live in Ozark. Glad you enjoyed my part of the country

With the bed extender, would it be possible to put a gun case in the back securely? I want a Talon, but I also deer hunt. I currently have a Pioneer 700 with no issues hauling to much. I appreciate it!!

Greetings Jason As always excellent detailed video 🇺🇸🎉🍾🇺🇸 Did the mid pipe get too close to the shock spring? Could you tell me how close is? Thank you for assisting me. Keep producing more videos.

What she needs is a 6th gear.

Thanks for sharing. Was thinking of ordering the same pipe but don't really want it too much louder then stock, darn it... Also wondering if the db killer you ordered is quieter then the one the pipe comes with? Are they the same shape? For those concerned about getting scammed Dominator also sell through their Amazon account... BTW, I think you meant Poland not Netherlands...

Great video brother!

I really like your videos. Are the mirrors stable when offroading? I'm just wondering if they shake alot.

Jason, it's Chris Davis. Where do you live now?
