i am wanting to buy a sprocket kit
but i dont no much about it
i want to be able to do wheelies easier
ive heard that 1 down in the front and 2 up in the back is the best
but im not for sure
someone let me no

 

[jabboss1]

sounds good , but be careful and know that it will reduce top end a bit

 

[94_ej1]

yeah i no it drops the top speed
but i mean the bike tops out like 160
it drops down to like 130 thats still plenty fast

 

[Pirate John]

Depends on how big your sprocket is...thats kind of dramatic 30 mph lol

 

[tenntouge]

ya its not that bad of a drop I've got that 1 down 2 up setting, which is the same that most Moto GP riders use and it really all just depends on your bike and how easy you want it to be for the front tire to come up

What is your bike??? (year, model, make)

and do you know what your sprocket sizes that are on the bike now

As said aboye it just depends on your year, make, and model. it shouldnt drop top speed 30 mph. i have a 07 GSXR 1000 and i went 1 down 2 up with a 520 chain kit and didnt lose even 10 mph off top end. but do note that sprockets will throw your speed off and u will rack up milage quicker unless u get a speedohealer.

RIDE ON!

 

[94_ej1]

so i have been reading and i think the best thing to do is
1 down and 2 up that makes it 15 and 45
it drops top speed by about 10 miles

 

[tenntouge]

ok so I looked it up and the stock sprocket size for you bike is 16/46 so if you doing the 1 down two up you need 15/48

but let me go ahead and warn you that its no joke doing this conversion I went from 16/46 to 15/48 and my 600rr's front tire will pick up sometime in the lower gear when I don't want it to, just be careful and learn your wheelies at a slow pace, don't go for the gold you first time trying them

 

[GSXEclipse]

yes, wheelies are fun, but if you dont know what your doing u can hurt yourself. if you dont know how to do them try them in an empty parking lot or something along those lines so u dont hurt yourself or anyone else. and order all your parts from www.motomummy.com

 

[T3AM SPOTLIT3]

[xrannie]

sounds like dude's already poppin wheelies- but wants to try some serious stuntin'- why wouldn't us gearheads want to try to help?

OP- please don't be street stuntin- & wear safety gear ~don't make any of us wish we hadn't made suggestions by scuffin yourself up real bad.

we're all adults-or trying to be- responsible for our own lives -but also responsible to the parents who raised us, and the friends who care for us - don't ride above your head, that mistake (or someone elses bad driving) could be your last ride, with only those who cared for you left living to deal with the pain.
SO, RIDE SAFE!!!
