New here, + question

[energie]

So I have a 2006 GSXR750, few mods, jardine exhaust, pc3, k&n filter, -1/+2 sprocket, i want to start stunting but im left with 2 options
1) buy the sprockets, cages, etc for this bike and just switch them out when i know im going riding the next week or whenever, (sprockets dont take that long to switch out, so i couldnt see it being that much of a hassle)

or 2)
buy a damaged bike for a grand or 2 and make that into a stunt bike
i just dont have the extra money kicking around for a stunt bike, plus id have to still buy the cages and sprockets for that bike.
i dunno, you guys know more about it than me, so opinions help

[imagixxerkid]

you could always check around for a cheap stunt bike

[NINER]

Take your bike and kick it over on it's side. If you can't do that, buy a stunted out bike.

as for changing out the sprockets.... its alittle more complicated bro, bigger sprocket=longer chain. you change the sprockets you gotta change the chain.

[energie]

haha well thats what i thought cages were for, i just bought new plastics too
'cheap' stunt bikes here are like 4 5 grand
and im looking for one in more of the 1000-2000 range.
i dunno maybe im looking too cheap but we get snow 6 out of the 12 months, but i enjoy just riding sometimes too. so i dunno whats best

yeah id have the chains for both sprockets as well so i could just put whichever chain i need on, or 2 depending how big of a sprocket i get lol

2004-2005 GSX-R750 17/43 525 chain

2006-2007 GSX-R750 17/45 525 chain

the stock was 45 so im at 47 now, and i guess 16

so 06 is your answer.

[imagixxerkid]

if you got an 04/05 the biggest you can go with stock chain is 15/49

[imagixxerkid]

its easy if you get a good master link, like a clip on.... only like $10-$15 and you can change chains out hell quick....

alright well 16/47 is alittle above stock. so your ration is 2.93, where as stock is 2.64...

yeah when i bought my new sprocket i got a chain as well, i think it was a...125 link? in any case i had to cut a few links off, its one of those clips for the master links so if i had a separate chain for both sprockets it'd be a piece of cake to put them back on. but what sprocket would i even go with, 54?

i run 16/60 on my 750 stunt, and just toss plastics on it when i wanna ride the street with my boys. works fine.... no freeway though

i usually stay in the city anyway, and i guess it would work as a governor for me since i dont want to wheelie around cops so ill stay like 60 kph in the city haha, i just havent ridden a bike with a sprocket like that, so i dont know how street managability would be.
would a 150 link chain and a 54 tooth sprocket work? or should i go bigger?

Cages won't keep your bike mint. They just keep it running most of the time so you can keep trying. 1-2K isn't going to get you a bike anywhere. 3500-4500 is about average for a stunt bike. You can't be a stunter unless you fuck up your bike. Everyone wants the best of both worlds. They want to be a stunter, but don't want to fuck up their bike learning. So it's like I always say "sack up and quit being a pussy, or go back to bike night with the other squids".

[imagixxerkid]

try these guys, they make make chain and sprocket kits. whatever size you want......

www.motoheaven.com

They dont seem to have my year...

and i dont care about fucking up a stunt bike, if it is a stunt bike, but i was hoping to keep this bike in decent condition but i guess we cant get what we want all the time.. hmm

call motoheaven and talk to them, they will tell you....... or do the math and figure it out. your stock chain was 114 link man, so 150 link should be way big man.... i dunno, safer to just call motoheavem
