Stock Gears Are 2.88
Tigers came from the factory with 2.88 gears in the rear end, and they are fairly easy to find. With 2.72 gears, one does wind up with higher gearing (lower engine speed for a given RPM), but only by about 5.6% above the 2.88 gears. At the same speed your tires has you at with the engine turning 3,000 rpm with 2.72 gears, the 2.88 would have the engine at about 3175 rpm.
