What are people running for gearing? I've been all over the place, 13/48, 14/51,14/48 and right now I'm running the stock 14/45 but the bike's use has changed. For multiple years it was my everything bike, dual sport rides, tight gnarly PNW single track all of it. I have a Beta 300RR for the tight stuff now and I have a 1090R for the big distance offroad.
The 500 is now the light ADV, 2 track, mild single track, dual sport type stuff. I've ridden flowy single without issue but it is probably a little harder on the clutch.
I like rolling down the road at 60 with ease but I think this motor will take more highway rpm than I give it credit.
What do you think?
