The gearing thread

I'm currently running 16/47 530. Between the gearing, Ivan's tuning, and the rest of the usual mods, the FZ feels like a hooligan, "responsive" to say the least. I absolutely love it for commuting to work and local play time on some favorite twisties. If I were to ever head to Sturgis or other long arse road trip, I'd probably throw some taller gears on there to calm things down a little at elevated long range cruise speed. Your results may vary. Peace!

Edit: I do have a speedohealer so can easily adjust for different gearing setups. Highly recommended!
 
Hello, currently stock with 17/45. I am thinking about changing to 16/45 to shorten up first gear and get a bit more shifting into my commute. Would anyone be able to comment on change in fuel range on highway with shorter gearing? I mostly commute but when I do trips gas stations aren't always that close together.
