Im going to do a new setup with my sprockets and i was just wondering what you guys are runing. Im thinking of going up 6 in the rear down one up in front, is this a good setup? Also, i will be riding the miss's on the back so i dont want the bike to be crap on the highway. One more question, im setting up my 12 bar and i would just like to know if anyone had measurements on how far to mount it. any help/advice would be appreciated,, and ride safe all

 

-1 +6 will sucl on the highway... Thats almost the same as +10 in teh back~

BTW, i have -1/+14, And it sux *** on the highway~

 

on the 12 bar try to get it right up against the tail light. the more weight on the bar the better for advanced tricks, it makes it more stable.

If you do alot of highway riding i wouldnt gear your bike too extreme it will rev high and kill your gas mileage too.

 

-1 +3 and you'll top out at like 150mph and can do tank wheelies in secound nicely

 

i just went -1 +12 on my heavy *** ZX7R and i can power it up in 3rd gear,i dont have much top speed but it wheelies easy as hell.im waiting to get a bar and cage to even atempt to clutch up 1st gear..im just a ***** i guess

 

just remember. theres no engine break in slow ****. cover that rear brake. 1st gear is only for slow stuff and sidewalk wheelies. i like to do sit down wheelies on sidewalks in first gear past backed up traffic. its great

 

so the verdict is no more then +3 if im highway riding and with the miss's

 

I'm running -1 in the front and +14 in the rear and I take my girl on the back and it's fine as long as i keep it under 70.

 

I got -1 in the front on my 03 f4i and it pulls up in third all day. You'll notice alot more midrange power. At first my buddy would pull hard on his gsxr750 on the interstate and now i can outrun him until about 160.

 

My bike has alot of engine braking in 1st... You can pretty much scrape it, Chop the throttle and it will bring it back down... No brakes... F4i's are known for engine braking~

 

-1 +18...sucks *** on highway. tons of power in all gears..6th gear stand ups no prob... i wouldnt go much bigger than +10 for the highway... for your 12 bar, get some freinds, put bike in gear and pick up front end to 12' hold bike straight and put 12 bar in where you want it and be sure too mark it. make sure the bike is not leaning over to either side ( left or right ).

 

+ 10 down 1 it is...nice highchair bikefreak...so how is it doing slower stuff..cause i remember when i had -1 only, i had to open it up pretty hard to bring it up.. I dont mean gasing it..just more throttle then i would like to give it going that slow. With the gearing will it come up a lot easier.. ON a scale of 1-10 how would you rate how quick it comes up with a -1 +10

 

theres engine breaking in slow **** dork and even more when its geared

 

i think he meant theres no engine braking when your moving very slowly,because their really isnt much engine brake at low rpms on one wheel.

 

i second that
