Re: looking to gear my superhawk

+9 -1 isn't too bad. you'll still get 130mph out of it. but it will seem like you are screaming the **** out if it to maintain 100. haha.

I'm at +10 -1, tops out just over 130. I use it as transportation as well as a stunter, and on the freeway you are kinda working it to go with the flow of traffic. Gas mileage is still good though (on mine)

Re: looking to gear my superhawk

Do you ride lots with this bike? Why do you want to gear the bike?

The fact that its a 520 and the specs on the chain say 600 max scare me. Get something stronger.

Re: looking to gear my superhawk

i do ride a lot with the bike looking to still do the twisties hear and there (i'll change the gears if need be) but riding 60 + miles a day just for fun or getting to "the spot" and then have fun imm looking to start working on slower wheelies and with the stock 16/41 i just have a hard time keeping it up longer

Re: looking to gear my superhawk

tenisle strength..... a 530 is Bigger. heavier side plates on the chain links.

60 miles a day? some people go as little as +6 w/ stock front, that wouldn't kill your top end nearly as much as +9 and -1

ohh, and I say REV THAT ****!

Re: looking to gear my superhawk

I run +15 on my f4i, and I regularly travel 150 miles away on it.

at 70mph, its only at 8.5k rpm.. Not too bad, just bring some ear-plugs lol

Re: looking to gear my superhawk

I mean, some stunters kill that **** w/ only +6. then again, some guys kill it w/ stock gears.
