Re: [ST] new 06

[<dbardell@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Eric, Brett,

I've got an 01 ST that I keep trying for 7th gear as well, 
seems like very little difference between 5th and 6th and 
I find myself constantly trying to go up another gear or 
just checking to be sure I am already in 6th.  No warp 
speed involved - just 60-75 mph highway crusing/commuting. 
 I would like a bit lower gearing in first and a little 
higher in 6th, but no way to get that with a sprocket 
change- so I ride it stock.  Riding two lanes and 
backroads, this gearing issue is not a problem, so 
depending on how you use the bike, it may be a bigger 
factor for some.
