hey guys, thinking about going up 10 teeth (52 tooth rear on an 02 '750 gsxr) after xmas but i have a couple concerns i need to figure out before i do:

1. what will my top speed be and how much faster will i get it up there in case i have to outrun somebody ?

2. how many links will i need to add to my stock 525? hopefully without buying a whole new chain....

3. can i fix my speedo?

thanks in advance for the repiles!!!

 

it gonna accelerate crazy fast and i think its something like 3 mph for every tooth up but dont quote me

 

oh and my boy says that my chain will break down with the extra torque at the low end, is this true? thanks for advice and keep the replies coming

 

Your chain will b fine..I have 6000+ so far on -1 +8 and it is fine. its an EK 525MVX.

 

gonna have to buy a new chain with +10 sprocket

 

<~~~~~~ im 20 up and i jsut bought 1 new chain and had to add 3 links .....

i wish i would have just got the 67tooth o well that will be next time !

 

i run -2 +4 on my 02 750 and i run stock chain/ no links added. thats about 10 up

 

and i can just swap back the stock gears whenever i want in 30 mins

 

damn duffman, thats big ing, best suggestion so far...

 

10 up you will top out at 80mph

 

Buy a new chain for +10 setup and keep your stock chain for stock or close to stock gearing thats what i did. 02 gsxr600 stock chain with stock gearing or -2 front +3 rear and then new chain with rear 66 tooth from sprocket specialsts. If your wheel is off and your changing the gears anyway it would only take another minute to swap chains if you dont mind using a master link clip. Good luck.

 

please somebody tell me he is lying?? if that is true id prob also get about the same gas mileage as a friggin hummer

 

If its for your gsxr, +10 should put your top speed somewhere inbetween 140 and 150 MPH

 

liar

 

-1+18 on a 929. i think the spedo is off like 30 in 6th. I dont go over 70 cuz its runnin around 8000 or so. I usually dont go over 60mph

 

Up 20 on a 1000, tops out about 130-140, speedo is WAY off, 7000rpm with traffic on the interstate, and I love it! You can get this thing called a yellow box to calibrate your speedo but I'm not sure where to find it. Might check gixxer.com.

 

-1 & +10 00' 750 top speed is around 120. gets loud after that. i ordered an 120 chain and cut 3 links off. and you can unplug the speedo. the tach still works, just no speed or 'milage'.

 

so basicly what you guys are saying is that if you got a big sprocket and you get caught doing a wheelie with it then you must pull over? man im stuck on this one, hell this may be one of the hardest choices ive ever made!!

 

who ever said anything about getting caught or even pulling over? be smart and it wont happen. you'll love the gearing and wont miss the top speed.

 

yeah oppie you are right on, i think i might be just a bit too immature to go with a big sprocket right now though. that is too much low end for me... i would be popping wheelies all across town if i had one and def land my *** in jail. im only 21 and i still think its cool to run from the cops, which sounds really stupid i admit. anybody feel me?

p.s. cops around here are everywhere and with the hooligans i hang out with running seems to be on the daily. anybody have the same problem? i hear in some parts of upstate ny you can ride all day on the highways without even passing one. i might just go down one and up two or just down 2 for now...
