mattylad Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 I am preparing a TLR 200 for trials use and need a new chainset. Please tell me what sprockets you are using. The BJ Racing site quotes a 10T front combined with a 50T rear sproket. Does this sound right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honda_tlr Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) I use 9-44 , used to use 13-44 and seccond was un-usable and first would stall most of the time ! I can now use 1st 2nd and 3rd in the sections. Edited February 11, 2008 by honda_tlr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevec Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 Be careful, honda_tlr's is probably a UK bike, I'm pretty sure they have different internal gear sets than US versions. I use BJ's ratios and find them to be slightly on the low side but a good match for the stock engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattylad Posted February 26, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 Thanks for the info I have gone with a 9x47 combination (cos that's all I could get hold of!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattylad Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Gearing not too bad, first is a tad low but OK for very tight turns on grippy surface. second good for most sections, third for climbs with long run up or a muddy slot. It is the gaps between gears that is the problem not the final ratio. In short OK for most conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
