I got a 2001 r1 off my friend has a 905 cage 1 down in the front an a 64 tooth in the baCK HAS ANYONE MESSED AROUND ON ONE OF THESE i want a smaller rear but the bike is parking lot use only unless i get the itch to break laws it just comes up way to easy any suggestions ?? i can handle the gears i just want something not so aggressive

 

1st post beat you to it chad

 

that is some huge gearing for a bike with that much power, but it just takes getting used to. IF you are only using it for the parking lot why not just try to keep it? I'm only up about 10 on my f4i, but a R1 is a lot different. The old school killers, the motopsycho's out of va used to rock gix 1000's with like 70 tooth sprockets, and he was one of the first guys ever doing hc circles

 

just keep coming out to the spot ... & im sure you will get it ... & dont be afraid to talk to peeps I dont remember you asking any of us while you where @43 for any advice ...Just dont tell to many people about the spots...we get pissed enough with all the two strokes & quads ....

 

another problem that i have on my 99 r1 is welded subframe im not sure if the 01 is also that same way but i would imagine the frame design is the same. If you bent that you might be screwed

 

i got an 02 and that subframe is welded as well

 

yea, that frame is all one piece, if you f that up, you've pretty much toasted the whole thing

 

Invest in a welder, or get a welder for a friend and your good
