In all reality yes, but when I first got the bike it had a nasty 130/80/18 on the rear. DONT ASK ME WHY! But that was the stock rear tire for that year. I changed it to a 150/60/18 which gave it more low end, thats why I dropped it 2 in the rear. I also changed the jetting from a stage 1 to a stage 3 and added an exhaust tuning kit (which was the best investment so far).

With those mods alone the exhaust tuning kit changed the backpressure so much in the motor is gives me so much low end torque I can stand it up on end at 8-10 mph with just the throttle.

The stock sprocket was a 46 tooth and I got a 44 on there now, Ive tried the 46 tooth b4 with the new tire, and its a wheelie machine when its on there. But it gives me so much low end that it kinda sux when your out with "The crew" on the expressway and your the guy tryin to keep up on a bike that only tops out at 118. Thats the only reason I kept the 44 tooth.

This season its gonna be 90% stunt and 10% street. Ill list all my changes and add on's when Im closer to getting it finished and Ill deffinately post some pix when I get them loaded!
