HI....i just bought a 96 900rr and want to gear it for wheelies. Where should i buy sprockets from....are there any brands i should look for and also how high should i go in the back and how low in the front? thanks!!!

Hoon

 

me to i got a 02 r1

 

Sprocket Specialists

 

averge used to be 1dn 2up now more like 2down 5up-or theres the kyle woods signature series 2 dn 24 up

 

I just went out today after going +2 in the back and that made a good deal of difference. I love how the bike responds now. Who the hell needs to do 170mph anyway?

 

you should have NO PROBLEM wheeling an R1.....

 

whats the biggest sprocket u can get, and does anyone have a picture???

 

i have a 99 900rr..have 1 down 2 up...also sitting next to bike in garage is 1 down 7 up...dont need gearing...1 down 2 up on a 900 is fine...tj rocks circles on mine as good as his 750 2 down 10 up. granted he is very talented...im learning with this, more gearing also need to b that much better with throttle control, so def would suggest learning with like 1 down 2 up or so...and comes up nice too

 

I get all my sprockets from Spocket Specialists.

 

Wheelie Boy, somewhere, Shugga has a picture, I think it was in a past thread, of a HUGE A-- sprocket that he was holdin. I don't remember where it was tho..

 

You're all dumbasses, you're suppose to say' "Buy them through Stuntlife!!"

 

Definatly Sprocket Specialist i Have a 1997 900 RR and i went 1down 4up and i love it. And on that R1 i am not sure if you even want to gear it i have a freind who has an R6 an he geared it 1down 5up but an R1 i have only ridden them stock and had no problem.

 

Funny... last I checked StuntLife was a Sprocket Specialists and Vortex dealer.... hmmmmm

 

You See.... I told ya so!!
Bet you get a better deal too!

 

i dont have a pic but i do know for a 900rr you can get up to a 74 tooth rear sprocket

 

here's a sprocket specialist 60 tooth on my 02 R1. (and for any R1 owners, you might want to note that 60 is TOO BIG unless you like the chain lightly rubbing the swingarm during riding. same may or may not apply to other bikes, swingarm clearance is something to think about ahead of time)

and for the dude w/ the 02 R1.. if you want to mess w/ your gearing, decide WHY you want to mess with it. the stock R1 will wheelie in every gear if you develop some good technique.. so the only reason to mess with gearing is really to affect how easily it will wheelie. i wouldn't do that to cover up bad technique, but if you want to do slow tricks or something, sure.

 

Sprocket Specialists is THE ****. They have everything, I think I've seen rear sprockets in the catalog up to 70 teeth!!!! holy sheet, but buy yo boolshit through STUNTLIFE! Lata

i have a 62 tooth rear and 2 down in the front.

 

Anyone try 1 down 4 up on an RR before? Tis what I was thinking of goin.

 

I'm 1 down and 2 up and it's plenty.
