Default Gearing, sprockets, chains

What is everyone running on their bike? Did you change the chain size, 530 to 520? How about the sprockets?

How much does the odometer get thrown off by changing sprockets? I googled but only found people guessing with percentages.

Driven sprockets -1 front, 520 conversion.. RK chain!! its not off much at slow speed but as you increase speed the % its off increases depending how off it is stock. But I got a speedohealer and that fixed everything!!

I'm not concerned with the speedo being off, just the odometer.

you can set the speedohealer to fix the odometer as well. but it all depends on what gearing you go with. The speedohealer has different settings best for odometer best for speedometer or set in the middle so it is pretty close for both!!

Cool so the speedo healer would correct it.

My sprockets are -1/+2. I don't want my odometer to say 15k when it's only 10k.
