Re: sprokets

Well, on my last bike (YZF 750) I had -2 in the front. Pretty sweet for low end pick-up, but for the high end it dropped me down from 160mph to 140mph. What are you thinking about doing?

dunno thinking about more low end pickup for easier wheelies.. not too experienced in wheelies so thought that might help..

Don't let anyone talk you into that, your 929 will wheelie for 10 miles without changing ****, just takes time. When you do that it messes up the speedo also. I can pull my stock R1 up in 4th gear at 85mph and I'm positive your 929 will do the same, and I suck. One good riding day with us and you'll be doing stand-ups down the eway right past cop cars. Like anything it takes time, once you get it you'll be wondering how the fuuck you couldn't wheelie it

Yep, most sports if you mess up you try again.........with stunting, you mess up you just die. But that's what sickly addicting about it.

Re: sprokets

Yea, I can vouch for what can happen if you try too much too quick. I was lucky, but my muppet of a bike wasn't. I went through about 3 different sets of plastic for the bike. Definitely getting a cage for the new one.
