42 rear sprocket

[blackhawk]

I've read issues with the 44 and having two 4th gears instead of 6th. Plus traction control issues but, not really read anything about a 42 rear sprocket. I'm more curious about the traction control? What affect does it really have? Will the race ecm fix both issues?
Sure if I dig into the forum I could find the answers but I'd appreciate a faster answer... see EBR has 42s left n wanna support them, even if vortex made them ....

im not after a wheelie monster , but would like a little more pull and figured a extra tooth would maybe get me there

The stock ECM is supposed to support 41-43 tooth rear sprocket, you should be good to go. Frankly my bike shows the wrong gear sometimes with stock ECM and gearing, although only momentarily.

I run a 42 and I like it, especially in the city. It did change my indicator though. The stock ecm can be easily fixed by the manufacturer, IDS, by sending it in to them. I run the race ecm because I change exhausts, sprockets and tunes a lot, so it is easily changed and well worth the extra $300.00 dollars.

IDS can change the gear indicator in my ECM for a 44T sprocket for $50 plus return postage.

I have a 43 on mine, get two 4th gears. no big deal

Traction control still works?
Plan on getting it after mines worn out, and by than I should have race ecm with muffler delete ....

Noticeable over 41?

Blackhawk, heavier traffic and slow corner turns makes the 42 nicer than clutching or lugging the motor using the stock 41. The 42 is a bit more torquy as well. If your not into loosing a bunch of top end speed the 43 would also be a nicer compromise. The 44 is a torque monster all the day long, and has the ecm's tuned for it as well.
