Since I rarely ride two up and we don't have any hills over here, I'd like to change the gearing of the Model 50 slightly.
I avoid 100 km/h (say 60 mph) roads, as it just feels like I'm mistreating the engine. Instead, I try to take backroads wherever I can, but I still need to tackle many miles of 80 km/h (50 mph) provincial roads and even at that speed, the engine feels just out of its comfort zone.
So I want to go up one tooth in sprocket size, just to calm the engine a bit. It doesn't need much. However, should I change the engine sprocket (easiest fix) or the gearbox sprocket? I've only ever known unit construction engines, where there was no need for a choice. Now there is.
The most logical one seems the engine sprocket, but I miss some insight why it should be the other one?
