r6 gearing for thill & sears

[kyles here]

havent done sears yet but plan to this year. at thill with my -1 in the front im hitting the rev limiter in 4th right before the tower so i have to either let off early or ride it for a little. i just ordered a -1/+2 520 conversion which will put me at 15/50. what gearing are you guys using?

I'm at 14/46 which is -2 in front, stock rear. It works good for T-hill and Infineon but it sucks for 10 and 11 at Infineon, I have to change gears haflway through turn 10 and I can't use 1st gear in 11, so I have to lug it in 2nd. I believe I'm in 5th gear down the straight at T-hill, but when I downshift the revs are pretty high in 4th when I enter turn 1

EDIT: duh, i'm on a F4I not an R6 :blush

I know a lot of people run the 15/50 set up. I like the 15/49 set up better (saves a little top-end).

i have the 15/50 setup, and am finding it a little difficult. shift points are just not in good places. i am going to try going back to 49 in the rear and see if that helps...
