Back to Basics....I Suck...

Alright this is going to a noobish thread from a not-so-noobish rider.

I first started stunting about 6 months ago. I bought a 2002 R6 just for throwing around and ******* up. I got all excited and put a cage, 12 bar (which I took off so I dont break my subframe) and a ****** pro-status sprocket..went +12 in the rear.

So basically heres the dealio..my bike feels twitchy as **** (i know common with the R6) but, its VERY inconsistant. Its like half the time I can pull it up to right around BP consistantly (not very good with my rear brake yet) and half of the time it either doesnt come up for **** or it throws back way too hard. Ive learned to be consistant with my clutching and throttle but it still does it.

So im figuring there is 1 of 2 things wrong (possibly both)...

1. That sprocket is way ******* overkill for learning with...
OR
2. My bike needs to be tuned and jetted so it will run good all of the time and not just like **** half the time...

Im leaning more towards the sprocket, but let me know what you all think...

go back to stock so you dont have to buy another sprocket and then when you go back to +12 it will be a lot smoother
