TT250 47 vs 50 rear sprocket

[mtiberio]

Got my 47 installed today. Initial test ride confirms a reduction of about 500 rpm at wfo (65-70 mph) speeds. No increase in top speed, just less rpm. Good indication that the hp curve is flat up there. I like it, lower gears feel much less tight, acceleration seems un affected. 47 vs 50 is 6% taller. Confirmed when what was 8200 rpm (~66 mph) became 7700. Bike felt like it could run all day at 8200, should only be better at 7700. Eventually I'll report MPG.

Is it stock, or with a different carb and exhaust system, and an opened up air box? 66 is a little slow for a breathed on 250.:p
