New Gearing

I have decided to once again upgrade my gearing. I wish I would have done this particular combination originally. On the rear I have reduced the sprocket size again. The original gearing was 48 and then I went to a 44. Now I have gone to a 42 and it is seriously like a totally different machine and I absolutely love it. It is so much more fun to ride.

I do have less torque and have once again needed to adjust my riding style but I feel the reduced power is overcome by reving a little higher before shifts. Nothing unusual just a bit more. The benefits of this new gearing completely over shadow the drawbacks which also includes a reduction in fuel mileage.I get about 40-50 miles less per tank. This requires me to fill up one day earlier than I formerly had to as I was in a pretty good routine filling up once a week for my commute of 40 miles a day. This was the thing that took me the longest to get used to.

The 4th gear is bigger and I find myself cruising through town on the faster streets in fourth gear. When I went from the 48 to the 44 sprocket my 4th gear got bigger but now it is even bigger.

Call Smitty @ JP Motorsports and get one or have your dealer put one on for you. You will not regret it.

Headlight Upgrade - PIAA H4

I have upgraded the headlight of my urban assault sumo! When upgrading or replacing your stock headlight you will be requiring a H4 bulb. Of course you can go with another stock headlight there are much better lights that give a brighter light and actually draw less energy or the equivalent energy from the bikes electrical system. This is important for maintaining reliability and not over taxing the bikes system.

I upgraded to a PIAA 10904 H4 Intense White - H4 60/55W=135/125W Xtra Intense White Bulb. It is in my opinion a much brighter headlamp.

Shopping around I found them in a twin pack for $42.00 with free shipping. Regardless of the price you find you I am confident will be very happy with your purchase.
