Sprockets-Gearing ?

Apologies if this has been discussed previously, but a "re-fresh" for the new kids might be nice ? What is the definitive sprocket ratio/sizing on a CL77 for a comfortable 65-70mph cruising speed, please ??
Has anyone thrown different tyre sizing into the equation too ?

If memory serves me right, 15-37 is the tooth ratio for stock bikes. Great for slow speeds where more toque is needed. I went with a 16-35 ratio for higher speeds and found it to be a good combo. Keep in mind though, the longer the legs on this bike , the harder it will be on the clutch to get her rolling from a stop. Rusty

Thanks G.....Have you had sprockets from them before ? Excuse my ignorance, what "pitch" have I got on a standard sprocket/chain set-up ? Cheers D

Pitch is 5/8" I believe.

Not had sprockets from them but they should be able to help or point you in the right direction.
