Here you go. Honda 1000 aren't too popular in Mini Sprints although they can be pretty competitive when set up right. Looking for gear charts you sometimes have to do a little reverse engineering. I googled 06 Honda 1000cc specs and got. http://world.honda.com/CBR1000RR/spec/.

The primary reduction is 1.717 that is the ratio between the crank shaft and clutch. That secondary ratio is the sprocket ratio on the bike your secondary will change all the time. Most guys use second gear we have gone to bigger rear sprockets and use 3rd 4th and even 5th ever so often to find better gears for certain conditions.

The Transmission gear ratios are

1st---------------2.286

2nd-------------1.778

3rd-------------1.500

etc-----------------

Multiply the primary ratio time the trans ratio to get reduction at the drive sprocket Example 1.717 x1.778 (second gear) = 3.053 to 1 overall engine

If you are running a 14 x 49 sprockets or 49/14 = 3.5 to 1

Your overall ratio would be 3.053 x 3.500 = 10.686 to 1 .

Mike has some very helpful info on his site at http://www.hyperracing.com/ Guys just starting out in this chain gang thing should read.

We will talk about Methanol conversion a little later.
