    - There were real gains in mid-end and initials. it used to pull like anything right from the first gear till 4th.. cruising in city was fun under this setup.
    - Top-end was very adversely affected. if talk about stock set-up it reaches flawlwssly till 115 kmph but in 15t set-up post 60kmph bike use to take little long time to hit the rev limiter.
    - mileage was some-thing that i had never bothered to check so no comments on that.

    I did wanted to try out somethings that are better but didn't get any time after that as got busy with my studies and job now. Please let me know if you find out something better than this because i am right now running on stock set-up and wants to try on something better & have no time to hit & try..

    Cheers

    Thank you Jatin, This was definitely helpful. Now i know the stock setup and alternate option. Thanks once again.

    Will let you know if i get to know of a better option.

        Maybe he doesn't like that UG4 is 7 kgs heavier than UG3. As far as I know, P180 UG4's top end is not 137 or is it? I think its more around 130 on speedo.

        But anyways, You want to undergear your setup? Try the Duke 200's rear sprocket with either's chain. I'm not sure it will fit, but you try it! Good luck.

        This is opposite of what we learned so far. From 14T to 15T, it is supposed to overgear. Which means more top end and lesser acceleration. Or more speed per rpm.
        What you said is entirely opposite. Are you sure you remember it correctly?

        I ride a stunner..stock sprockets 14t/43t...
        was thinking of getting it to 15t/46t or 16t/50t
        want to maintain the same stock acceleration and increase the top speed..what are your suggestions???
        Not possible. Sprocketing can't really increase either one without affecting the other. One gets lesser, other more.

        Undergearing: More acceleration, Lesser Top end.
        Overgearing: Less Acceleration, More top end.

        At best you can get a better 0-60 or 0-100 by overgearing, by repositioning the gearshift location closer to the max power spot. But this is not an overall benefit and is very much bike-specific.

            which bike you're talking about & what's the final ratio it uses or the stock sprocket configuration??

                  that will be too much, your bike may not pull even in first gear without clutch slipping. & city mileage will decrease.
                  Best way to start is to go for step by step method: first try with the smallest changes, in your case either go for 15t front or 38t rear and keep in mind that 1 teeth extra up front or 3 teeth less from the rear will provide same output.
                  And also you dont need to change both sprockets, changing anyone of them will work perfect.

                  • thank you.....!!! so which one to change front or rear sprocket...
                    is fuel consumption related with no: of teeth on sprockets....

                      and i recommend you the same because front sprocket is cheaper & fz's low & mid range is good to compensate taller ratios. For more (first hand) info better contact the guy.
                      And about the mileage, yes its directly related afterall sprocketing changes gearing but mileage change wont be huge most probably around 5 kmpl.

                      • platina125 option

                        What is possible on Platina125,for higher topspeed?
                        I can manage the low accln.

                        Is there any effect with mileage and torque?

                            • guys, after we change the sprocket to our desire...shouldn't we adjust the gear ratio accordingly for a perfect output???

                              • if minimal changes are made to the rear or the front sprocket, i dont think the entire gear ratios need to be redone..
