rpms & sprocket change math
Ok, someone check my math on this... I think this is how gearing calculations work.
 If bike 'x' goes at speed 'y' at 5500 rpms with a stock front/rear sprocket ratio of 3.00 (15 & 45), and the owner (yes, me) changes the ratio from 3.00 to 3.625, then at the same speed of 'y', the rpms would now be 5500 + ( 5500 * (3.00/3.625)) = 6448 IE, by increasing the sprocket ratio 17.2%, I have to increase the RPMs by that same percentage to maintain the same mph at stock gearing. Right? Thanks, -b
