i have counted the teeth on the final drive gear (ERM, 67 I THINK) and divided it by the teeth on the counter shaft (14),

clearly remember it came to abt 4.785.

THE 4.929 final drive is 69 teeth. ( this i counted for myself too)

i believe that this calculation is definitely right and therefore for some reason, there is a mistake in the manual. even honda australia has said that it was 4.4
but the counting teeth method does not lie.

go figure
