Re: 07 gsxr600
i learned to ride wheelies stock then all last summer i rode with a 55T i thought since i was still progressing a little i thought that the sprocket was helping me... but I went back to stock gearing for a road trip a couple weeks ago, my first time riding in 6 months and Ive already progressed more going back to stock then with a big spocket. Im so much smoother and not choppy like i was... my personal experience stick with stock... atleast til u got solid BP and idle down... then make the decision if u think u need it... but thats just me

Re: 07 gsxr600
+2 but some people will say you may as well gear your bike from the start since if you start with stock, you'll have to relearn when you gear your bike. I learned on a +10 rear and looking back, I wish I wouldve started stock. It took me a very long time to get smooth and get idle on lock and I believe had I rocked stock sprockets, it wouldnt have taken me so long. It really boils down to personal preference. Do you but just know if you gear your bike initially, it will be twitchier and harder to catch idle and be smooth. If you learn stock, when you do gear your bike you will have to relearn to be smooth but it'll probably be easier to relearn since you got the concept of idle, brake control and balance point
But a big sprocket doesnt teach you the proper way to wheelie, just give you aid.
A power wheelie with stock sprockets in first is the same power wheelie with a big sprocket in 2nd....
i liked learning stock because, yeah its harder to get it up but once it is up its easier to keep it from goin the rest of the way.
