Finally able to ride project RM 144. Curious what others have been running for gear ratios? Currently I have a 12/51 set up and find myself shifting a bunch between 2nd and 3rd. Stock on the bike is 12/49. Wondering what others have been running on any 144. Thank you for any feedback!

You need to go up on your counter shaft sprocket to like a 13 maybe even a 14.
I'm 185 without gear on, Vet A.
Also a fat ass riding a 144, it’s not my full time
Bike but I like that gearing cause I never have to use first minus the start, back draw is 2nd and 3rd don’t last very long like really short, then once get to 4th it pulls for decent chunk longer then.
I do have a 12 stock front I should try just to see how it is.
If you are running a shorty silencer, go back to a longer silencer and possibly even try the stock pipe.
You can keep playing around with gearing, but at the end of the day it’s a 125 and frequent shifting is just part of the game.
