I know what you mean..I had a 73 tooth on a zx9 back in the day..useless on streets..it was good for learning idle., mad dangerous though, I completely flipped the bike, chutching up from a stop..it landed back on the bar!


It all depends on what type of riding you plan on doing ..If its just a dedicated stunt bike your gonna mainly use in the lot, just go like + 10-12. You can still ride the streets too. Dont sweat the sprocket size too much, you will get used to any size sprocket, after awhile.

Re: rear sporcket question

im just trying to make it a little easier to learn on and be able to take it to work n back, so im not trying to totally stunt it out, but im sure the more i progress the bike will too, i think the next thing will be a cage

i run the supersprox stealth tri metal sprocket on my bike(use it for commuting). mine has about 7000 miles on it and it still looks new. the stunt sprockets carry a 2 year warranty according to the site.

Re: rear sporcket question

try with stock...teaches you clutch control and then you can learn idle easier.....people have this imagination that stunting is impossibly hard without a pizza pan but rocking a tea cup saucer is fine

Re: rear sporcket question

Sure it is, I've ridden with stock and altered gearings, however even for learning I preferred the altered setup. Takes so much space witch stock....and speed's up too.

Ok, so I don't have unlimited space to start with, but while doing silly hops in the early stadia you tend to use lots of it just for next to no progress. Shorter gearing from the start has helped, but that's just me. Jumpiness is just a matter of getting used to; covering loads of distance is a pain.

lets do the math..... $130 for sprocket set. $300 for each clutch he cooks learning.....

Iy's a no brainer in my eyes, go with -1 +6 to +8 for a dual purpose bike. You can always go back to stock front or -2 if you progress or don't like the high gear.
