Hello,
running a Monza 225 with an ADS3 (touring) pipe and gearing is SX200 with standard 15-46, so 4,8.
This is inadequate so I'm lookin to upgear.
Would I dare go to 16-46 and try 4.4 with the SX200 box and risk not having enough power to clear the 3rd-4th gear gap, or do I go to 17-46 and run an Li150 box with a better 3rd-4th gap but only upgear to 4.6 with the chance 4th is still too short and the bike still revs out?

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, loudly proclaiming: "WOW, WHAT A RIDE"

Before you have book full of advice from people on here, you've not asked MB Developments already, have you?
If you have, there'll be a flurry of Facebook activity within the next few hours..

I too run a ADS3, and found that 4.4 was the only final drive ratio that worked with the pipe to get a decent top end.
The tune on my motor is a torquey tune on a Suzuki 190 with 60mm crank.... Pulls no probs in 4th.
16-46 on the Sx200 box would give you 4.52 final drive, pulling 70 at 6200 rpm. The ADS3 falls off a cliff at about 6k, so 70 would be just about top wack.
The problem that I have with the pipe and 4.4 gearing is town riding, but great for open road.
