I am running a big drive gear, I was thinking it was a 21, but after looking thru this thread, perhaps it is but a 19.

I also have a 42 rear sprocket. I had to get a new chain (DID X-Ring) and I love it. I am usually in 3rd or 4th around town (60 mph and under) and don't even need 5th till I am cruising at Highway speeds!

I don't have a speedometer anymore, but try to stay above 3500 rpm.

I have a basically stock 865 pony (except jets and exhaust) and have had the speedo (when attatched) buried for 20 to 30 minute intervals with both the stock and current gearing.

I am looking to get a big bore kit and Cam for even more MO-JO LOL
