What sprocket combos are you guys running ?

I am due for a new chain & sprockets and wanted some opinions.

I ride a 98 750 with 2 up on the rear . I used to run 1 down on the front as well but it was to much at the drag strip.

I want to work on slow wheelies this year. Whats a good set up for the street / stunter rider ?

thanks , mike

PS ... I saw some kid post on gixxer.com about going up 10 on the rear and they slammed him something horrible . some people just don't get it ...........................

 

put your 1 down back on and you'll be set.

10 up is fine if you dont have the skill to rock slow stuff with near stock gears.

but if you wanna jump on the bandwagon, go crazy with it.

 

I just went 2 down and 12 up on my 900rr. I like it alot so far, but I just started working on slow wheelies. Hella twitchy though.

 

got 1 down 2 up for my 900rr, putting them in soon, well see come spring how they work, cant wiat though...

 

hmn, that's a little bit more than 18 over stock.

must be like riding a fiddy.

when it's stopped, can you keep it in gear with the clutch engaged?

 

You would be surprised how well it still rides. No problems with keeping it in gear when stopped. I can still cruise with freeway traffic (70-80 mph) and only tach around 7-8 grand.

 

Preston, I think he was joking like that you have so much gear that at idle the bike doesnt even move when it's still in gear

 

I know a local guy that is rockin' slow wheelies . He is doin' one handed and even no handed slow wheelies. He is runnin a huge XL pizza sprocket on his RR. It just made me wonder if it would make life easier with a large sprocket.

 

I'm runnin 2 up right now on a zx1100gpz ( with a name that long ya know it's a sport-tourer...lol )
anyhoo im goin 5 up this weekend when the parts get here...
i wanna run 1 down also but i can't find a non-stock toothed front...

anybody with some ideas of where to get one for under a c-note?

 

1 down 5 up on a 97 750, just started trying slow ****, but i've been loving the gearing anyway, still hits about 130-135mph tachs about 7-8000 on the freeway at 70-75mph

 

2 down 2 up on my RR. It works pretty good, I'd like to try 1 down 2 up, but I don't feel like changing it.

 

Now thats the kinda info I was looking for . Thanks man

 

My question is does that kinda gearing make it easier to rock 12'ves ? I have 1down and 2up on my GSX-R 750 '01...should I be going bigger in the back or its fine the way it is ?

 

you can learn with stock gearing and even do 12 tricks with stock gearing. I went 5 up in the back on my gixxer just so it won't die.

 

im 2 down, 7 up.

:YEAH

 

1 down 10 up on my gsxr 600.Great for stunting but I hate it on the highway.....but mine is geared for what I do most.
