i'm wanting to get a new sprocket and chain set up to help me get up a bit easier, but i still want to be able to ride to the spot pretty easily, is the -1, +2 the best or would +3 work too?

the stock is 16/45 on an 03 gixxer6

any help would be awesome thanks

 

-1 in front is the same as +3 in the back.

I'd go with +10 in the back.

 

i know, but +10 where am i gonna top out at? its my only transportation right now ha

 

good all around would be 5 up..... still super streetable but it will give you have little extra.... **** 85% of the ppl i know are only 3 - 5 up

 

i have a band new +10 vortex if your interested. good for lot and street.

PM me

 

I like -1 +2. It's great all around gearing.

 

Top out arround 135-140 with a +10. Not 100%-

 

think its closer to the 140 side maybe a little higher.... but yea thats prety close

 

i always run +7 street and lot and im very happy with it. ive ridden some bikes with +10 on the street and its not bad either. +10 will take about 20% off your top end.

 

also depends alot on what bike you have.... some bikes dont need to reall go up that much

 

okay cool, somebody told me once that anything above 3 up would make it nearly impossible to ride street..what a dumbass apparently

 

yes very much so.......

 

what do you ride with?

 

i had a +15 in the rear and a -1 in the front, start riding to school everyday so i got rid of the 62 tooth and went with a +8 in the rear and i love it, comes up quick and still ok for the freeway

 

i use to just run 5 up in the back then i bought a drop tooth for the front which made it up 8 total.... no too bad on the street but highway ridin kinda blew ***..... now i rock the drop tooth up front and 11 up in the rear.... still street able but ol blue hairs blow by me on the highway

 

haha..i'm thinking maybe 7 up, how much difference does the front drop make in help getting up

 

yah freeways do kinda suck haha i always get laced up too

 

ha going fast is overrated anyway..my cousin has a turboed busa for drag racing and i wouldnt even sit on that ******* thing

 

the drop up front is like addin 3 to the back i know ppl that stunt all day long only 3 up on older gsxr.... if you wanna do 7ish then just do 2 down in the fron if you can find one.... the fronts are alot cheaper and keepin the steel out back is good because they dont really wear......

 

yeah i'm gonna look around, 3 might be the best idea since its the only thing i have to get around right now ha..i need to get some practice in, one of the pros around here said it was cool if i went out there to practice with them, i'm stoked but nervous too ha, he's a badass
