ok ... so I am gonna be 12ing the 750 (new body), and I was gonna do like 2 down and 4 up, but what if I went like 2 down 6,7, or 10 up?? what would the BIG difference be? I know it would have less of a top end, but would it coast slower (noticeably), or what? Those of you who are scrapin 750's, what dop you like best and why??

 

i was -2+2 and it was great. then i rode a 600 with -2+12 and loved it even more. the crazier the gearing the more interesting the piloting.

 

-2 +12 on my 600 and I love it. Huge difference btwn +6 and +12.

 

had 5 up in the back and liked it alot, just started circles and went down 1 in the front and up 12 in the back. killed my high chair distance once I have circles mastered I will probably go back to 5 up

 

rigt now i am -2 and +8 its fine i am going up 20 this weekend cant wait to ride that ****ing thing

 

Thats big time right there

 

that things as big as my rim any one out there geared that crazy .Going for circles

 

1 down + 10 up. works pretty good. but it think my clutch is going down fast. any one else havin this issue on their 7fiddy?

 

Mark from MPZ is -3 +29

 

i went up 8 on my 750, but i think im goin up anutha 12

but if I am -2 +5 ....... or -2 +12 what is the BIG difference between those two?? A lot slower or what?? better for certain things, and not others??????????

 

I am up 19 on my 750. Feels perfect. I am going to gear it just a little more though. for later...

 

Im thinking about going -1,+4. I need to know what size chain I need. Im thinking about getting a new chain while Im getting this done. Right now I have 2up in the rear. Will the chain I have now work with -1,+4?

This is on a 97 GSXR 750 by the way.

Thanks for any info guys.

 

his **** is HUGE. almost the size of the rim.

 

It'll be slower on the top but not as bad as you think. I'm 2down/8up on my 1000' and it will still do 153mph. As far as fast stuff goes you just do it all in a higher gear. Only bad thing is it make's everything more fun! lol If your gonna go big just go with it. You'll like it. I'd like to go to about 20 up and slow it way down.

 

ok, here it is, ive had them all. first i went down one and up three, awesome for street. wasn't into 12'n yet. then i broke the up three and went up four. then i changed the front to a down two. shortly after went up nine, this is when i got into 12'n. down two up nine is still great for the street but i couldnt go slow enuf for 12's, so now i went to an up 12 on the back, still down 2. it is fawking bad azz but it fawking suxs on the street!!!!!

 

in all truth. decide how you wanna ride, if doing just the slow ****, drop 3 and go up 12.. i personally am down 3 and up 9.. and almost stalling out at 3 mph. yet still wanna go up in the rear another 6 to make the slow **** good! And i am all about doing some circles, just need the change on the back to get it down. If you `re riding your bike from one place to another. don`t bother going big on the rear, you`ll eat up so much gas, ask dave. Figure out what you`ll be doing with your bike(ride wise) and make the judgement call on that.
Good Luck

 

yeah, it eats gas like a mo fugger, and having the crap beat in of a tank doesnt help eather

 

True that. I'm only getting about 128 miles on stock gearing with an *** print in my tank. I'm going to -3 +5 soon. Next stop.... Exxon!

 

What size chain are you guys with 1 down 5 up getting away with?
