I just did a chain conversion to 530. I have a 33R and a 15F witha 110 chain. I dropped about 700 RPM's on the highway. I was running 4500 at 60 now I'm running around 3800. I was told this might not be good for my engine because its used to running higher RPM's to be more efficient. Is this true?:blink:
NO! Your engine will appreciate it. I changed the gearing on my 750 to drop the RPMs at 60 mph by about 700 and ran it that way for 25 years. The acceleration was still adequate and the cruising was more comfortable. Most of these bikes are geared too low to get 1/4 mile times they can brag about.
The only time it might be a bad idea is for people who ride a passenger a lot or if the person is way overweight and the bike would be straining too much on acceleration. Normal use, no worries.
