Gas mileage after sprocket change?
Someone told me that their gas mileage went up/ got better after a -1, +2 sprocket change but I don't remember exactly who. Sorry, old age. Please post your before & after MPG.

Mine seem to have gotten better but that is because the speed is off so it is just going to look like better gas milage. I do not see how it would be better.I guess may be you could use less gas to get off the line.

I'd like to know who has done their sprockets and installed a Speedo Healer to get a more accurate reading. I can'r for the life of me remember who told me about the mileage improvement.

i would think you would get less gas mileage if u regear your bike, makes the motor work harder at any given rpm, just my 2 cents

I kept my front sprocket the factory size and went up 2 in the rear. I will be doing my speedohealer this week along with my alarm. New headlights wire jumper mod and a new custom dyno map. Yea........\\
