Honda 305 5 Speed Gear Set

What differentiates the new Honda 5 speed Gear set from what has been previously available and fitted are the new ratios which dramatically transforms the riders experience. These completely new ratios have been designed to get the very best from the Honda CB/72/77 motors. Just compare the percentage drop to the old four speed set! Whatever gear you engage with our new ratios, the next will be closer than at any time with the old set.

New Honda 5speed gear set ratios                     Standard Honda 4 speed ratios

1st......................2.782:1                                       3.120:1 

2nd....................1.729:1   ^37.9%                            1.740: 1   ^44.2%

3rd.....................1.383:1   ^33.5%                            1.270:1    ^27%

4th......................1.170:1   ^15.4%                           1:1           ^21%

5th......................1.1:1       ^14.5%

First gear ratio is only slightly taller than standard, second has been massaged in the same direction.   The difference when riding becomes really obvious as third fourth and fifth gears are lifted with ease.

What ever the traffic conditions there is always a suitable gear to optimise the performance. It is no longer required to over rev to make rapid progress. The motor can be kept spinning sweetly in the desired range.

This gear set when used with raised or lowered gearing is equally at home for track use due to the new robust design.
