    Sprocketing help

    I had changed my rear tire to zapper S from R15, and since then i have been experiencing a drop in top end power(bike tops out less in every gear)

    Previously in 4th gear it used to touch 109 now its does 99


    What sprocket should i use ? as i am not able to source a decent tubeless tire in 100/90/17

    My bike is P180ug3
    Chrome rims and bling ? get a real life !

        Hi, your top speed will only get affected if your new tyre is of a lower profile than the previous one. if they are the same u need to look elsewhere.

          I know that, it is of lower profile, it is 100/80 and previous one was 100/90

            what you are experiencing is speedo error because of the change in tire size.

              ^^thats not a speedo error,he has changed rear tyre, meter is attached to front one,
              anyway 100 instead of 110(99in stead 109)is huge difference, maybe something else is wrong...
              noticed any improvement in initial, low revs??

                you are experiencing the loss in top speed due to lower profile of the rear tyre...so go for a sprocket which has lesser teeth than the previous one..but the difference should be only 2-3 teeth else you would lose on acceleration

                  you look at it from any angle.. really I cannot believe such huge difference only with low profile tyre..

                  Why dont you swap original tyre or any 100/90 to check & confirm if it is really the tyre that is the culprit here.
