So looking to improve on the off-the-mark performance (the 10 T front to 40 T rear was pretty good but the chain kept impacting the swing arm) I swapped out the front sprocket to a 16 T and then replaced the rear sprocket with a 46 T as the 16:40 ratio was just too slow at start.
Seems a bit faster off the mark but I think i need to reprogram the throttle control again and start with the default (linear) curve to see how the throttle responds when riding. I feel like i’m getting a bit of herky jerky motion on start just with a basic throttle twist.
