I don't know, but regearing is not a great option for me.

Suzuki designed this bike as a dirtbike first. The 'E' model predates the 'S' model.

As such it has a close ratio transmission. So, if I gear it high enough to calm it down on the highway first will be too high. It's a little higher than I would like as it is.

What some guys do, and sounds like a good idea, is to gear it up to work on the highway, and use a Rekluse to make it easy to ride at very low speeds over the rocks and single track and such.

Rekluse's sound appealing and are popular out here but I've never ridden a bike with one to see if I would like it.
