Aw yes my fine yellow rider friend and recent member of the "Crusty Trails Racing" team. 15/45 gearing on the 6 speed TTR is good for about 110mph down the highway (I saw 103 on the first day), but a little too tall for the average dez use. I ran a 14/45 and was happy, but not quite where I wanted it. Would have been good if I was still trail riding on a professional level :smirk:. The 14/48 brought it to a good all around gearing for what I like. It will still see 90 mph if tucked in and on good high speed dirt, but good for lofting the front end up over "G" outs and other obstacles that might come up fast.

 

The thing about changing the counter shaft is it changes the gear ratios. 15/48 is not the same as 14/45. With the 15 on front, you will notice that your 1st and 2nd gear feels a little taller then if it was a 14. 14 brings it in a little tighter on the lower gears and makes them more manageable.

 

Hope that all makes sence...
