How do you work out final gear ratio of motorcycle with 14 tooth crankshaft to 59 tooth gear box with 11 tooth front and 47 rear sprocket?

Answer:

The 14 tooth crank gear mated to the gearbox 59 tooth gear gives a ratio of 4.21:1 which is found by 59/14.

Front sprocket 11 & rear sprocket 47 gives a ratio of 4.27:1 ie 47/11.

Overall ratio is found by multiplying the two ratios together 4.21*4.27=17.97:1

NOTE - The 14 & 59 tooth gears will be the primary gear reduction in a motorbike, this does not include the actual gearbox ratios which will need to be taken into account for the overall final ratio.
