You can then easily work out the ratio by dividing the crownwheel teeth by the pinion teeth

I've had a look for the ZX12 gear ratios, and have come up with this:

6 speed constant mesh
Wet multi-plate hydraulic clutch
Drive chain ???
Gear ratios :
************ 1 - 2.429
************ 2 - 1.824
************ 3 - 1.440
************ 4 - 1.250
************ 5 - 1.130
************ 6 - 1.033

What size wheels/tyres are you running? What does the engine rev to?

Cheers for the info, I'm running 205/45/15 and the engine revs up to 12k. I'll have a look tonight regarding the diff and see what i come up with.
