Grevus Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Hello, I bought a used MT07 and the previous owner told me he changed the sprockets on the bike. Does this impact the speedometer or is it still accurate like it is stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member DewMan Posted July 21, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted July 21, 2019 If he chose sprockets that use more or less teeth than the standard 16 front/43 rear, it will make a difference on the speedometer and odometer. But shouldn't be more than 2-3 miles per hour at legal speeds. DewMan Just shut up and ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stickshift Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 My Aussie 07’s speedo under reads by 10% with stock gearing (bike bought new). Best thing to do is compare speedo readout with GPS figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElGonzales Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Isn't it depending if it's an ABS model or not? With ABS the bike takes the speed signal from rear wheel sensor, so the gearing shouldn't affect the speedo. This is my actual knowledge, sorry if wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
