I did do a search, by It did not answer all my questions.

I have a 2005 Ds 650 X and I recently put 22' bearclaws on, yesterday I went ridind and took my GPS with me and I only got 105km/h at 6500 RPM (which was the highest it would rev to. Which is about 10km/h than my stock wore down to nothing. I want to what gearing do I need to get my top speed faster than it was with the stock tires and to get my RPM up the stock rev limiter.
Thanks

Stock your tire and gearing is:
20" tires
40 tooth rear sprocket
16 tooth front sprocket

when you go to a 22" rear tire you need to change the gearing to compensate to get close to stock again. To do that try:
40 tooth rear
15 tooth front

or

43 tooth rear
16 tooth front

If you want your top speed to go higher you need to go the other way with the gearing.
Bear Claws are very very heavy tires. And if you make the gearing to tall you'll actually loose top speed unless the grouind is dead level or down hill

 

u should drop a tooth on the front sprocket thats what i did on my rappy and its much better but thats on a 350

 

Definitely drop to a 15 tooth front sprocket. That will bring your performance very close to stock. I agree that bearclaws are heavy tires and top speed may not even reach what it was with 20" tires.

 

Yea i have had 2 sets of bearclaws on my ds and ive ran a 15 tooth front sprocket...makes it almost back to stock but you still are geared a bit higher but i can hit 130km/h so like 83mph with the sprocket change..............Where are you in Alberta?????

 

I live in grassland alberta. (small town between athabasca and lac la biche on HWY 63).
thanks, guys for the info.
