Question gixxer help!!!

hey im riding a 05 gixxer 600 and have a few questions for anyone who knows about these bikes... first off, my frame mounts for the pegs keep on breaking off... anyone else have that problem? and second, im tryin circles and ive already gone through the threads for that.. but im riding a 62 tooth sprocket... is that cool or is a lower gearing better for learning?

Re: gixxer help!!!

cut your pegs down so they don't hit the ground when you crash ...

you can do circles on any size gear ,i learned on a 62 and can do them on stock gear also ..

if you ike the big gear keep it and if you don't then go smaller but the smaller you go the easier it is to stall the motor...

i used to have an 04 600 and the idle was never that strong or consistant, i would keep the 62 on there if it was me. i would say its a little harder to catch and pull idle on that bike, other than the idle it was a good bike. i still have my 05 that im going to set up one day.
