Not sure about the speedo or countershaft. It's digital, with a tachometer. It comes with a 50 tooth sprocket, and I'm going to drop to 47...
I've heard of guys going as low as 45 but I don't want to lose that much torque off road. Everyone I've talked to online and in forums agrees the 47 tooth is the perfect solution. Should give me a top speed above 70 mph and a much lower RPM between 55 & 60 which is where I'd like to keep it on the highway. It should also give me just the right amount of torque off road when I decide to get down and dirty with it.
I was curious if it was going to effect speedo readings or not. Cable off the front wheel and your speedo stays accurate, sensor on countershaft and it will throw out your speedo a little bit. I was going to recommend the same thing 3 teeth on the rear or 1 on the front sprocket. But you already have that info!!! Totally looking forward to all your trip blogs!
