You don't need to gear it to ride a wheelie at lower than 4k.. practice more man.

Re: how much should i go up in the back

R1's power up in first without trying, 2nd & 3rd clutch right up...depending on what kind of riding you want to do for low end torque I would go 1 down in front 2 or 3 up in the rear...10 sounds like way too much to me..

but make sure your carbs and air filter are clean first...I run stock gearing on both my R1's but they're FI and no problems ever...

520 conversion is for racers, you dont want that **** for the street, stay stock or your gonna be replacing that chain and sprocket alot more often.
