What gearing would be recommended for Daytona?
You betcha! After so many guys asking me gearing questions and chain length questions and top speed questions for different RPM limits and and and and... I finally just made the spreadsheet! LOLCheers for that Matt.
Thank you sir! I did try to put a lot of work into it to answer questions and help folks figure out what they have for options. The only real complaint I ever got was that it was "too American" and I needed to provide metric info as well. {sigh} Fine! So I added the KPH numbers for those who didn't want to do the "x 1.6" math on their side. Of course, I say that while also being irked to the point of wanting to pull my hair out whenever I look at the instrument panel and it's telling me what my miles per liters of fuel is. I've brought it up with the project manager at KTM, and he said he'd try to do something about that to get it showing gallons for the US bikes. I get it. We use a system the rest of the world makes fun of. Whatever. Look. I machine in metric on my machining center. but for the life of me no matter how many times I do the math I have NO effing idea intuitively what 0.1mm is. Yet at the same time I at my very core KNOW what 0.001" is! I think in thousandths of an inch. I think in pounds. I think in gallons. Any time somebody asks me what spring they need, I ask them their weight in full gear in pounds, and they tell me how many fscking stone they weigh... it takes EVERYTHING in me to not just hit the delete button! LOL Of course I also write anybody off the moment I hear them pronounce "idea" with a R at the end. Personal quirks are... fun.Great job on the excel sheet.
Self-knowledge is King
So many returning questions on other KTM 390 forums as well and no matter how often you advise them to read their manual or use the search on the forum the same questions keep coming.
Guess this is the joy of being an admin/moderator of a forum, page or in the position you are in.
Great setup you've got there, too bad it's so far away from where I live/ride.
Keep up the good work
