Hey, does this have an OEM slipper clutch?
Next, what's normal gearing for this bike at some tracks? Someone give me a vague idea if possible.
Been a couple years since I've been on a 750, so...trying to learn my way on it again.
Yes, it has a slipper. I was running +2 (47) rear/-1 front last season. It was fine for Road America, but I didn't see 6th at BHF.
I think only SV's and stuff use 6th at Blackhawk. What kind of times were you turning?
What is the stock gearing? 16/45?

by the end of the season I was in the :14s at BHF, and my best was a 2:31 at RA (suspension was totally knackered, the front didn't move when you pressed down) In other words, not that fast.
IIRC, stock is 17/45.
Yeah, I went a little faster on my SV. Still good times for you though. But that gives me some guidelines. I appreciate that! :cheers:
Dave, I run a 16/48 for mine at bhf. I'm going to try a 116/49 combo this spring.
Steve, you are a trend setter. :biggrin:
I might save the 116/49 for RA. I ment 16/49. :biggrin:
You shouldn't have said anything. If was funnier...LOL!
Slipper clutch is stock. 17/45 stock gearing. For speedways (e.g. Daytona) I use 16/47 or 48, depending on the track (spring Daytona and Homestead I use 48, Fall Daytona I use 47). For more technical tracks (e.g. Jennings) I will go up to a 48 or down to a 15, or both, depending on the track, etc. Those are just some general ranges based on my own experience; others might disagree. Hope that helps you get started, but as you know, gearing depends on the specific track, your particular bike's power delivery, and, to a lesser degree, your style.
That almost seems short for Daytona.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy short. Probably meant 17/47
Steve can also make the 750 fly nicely threw the air too.
which requires a special license, not for the beginner. :biggrin:
