im looking to sprocket up to start doing slower wheelies .i want to slow them down to 15 mph .. what,s the best size sprocket to put in the back ?

thanks for any help

 

u can rock slow with sock, ur just more likely to stall if u dont ride the clutch. a lot of well known and talented riders will say -2 +10 is perfect for 600's and -2 +5 for liter bikes from wut ive gatherd

 

thanks for the reply . i had an f4 with the biggest sprocket i could find from SS . .but i didn,t want to go that big on the 954 .. -2 +5 sounds good i give that a try . what if i just change the back sprock what size what that equal
??

 

-2 +5 would equal roughly +10 in the back. -1 in the front is about + 2 1/2 in the back

 

hey what the biggest you got on the f4

 

I just put a +17 on the back, and I love it.

 

how many teeth is that

 

im not to sure how many it was it was 3 maybe 4 years ago ..im thinking 65 .. it was the biggest one sprocket speicalest had , and i left the front stock

thanks for all the help ..

+17 .. sounds like fun .. whats the top end on that bad boy now ??

 

+17 is a 60t

 

you need new gearing for going 3mph without stalling, not for 15mph wheelies.

 

i was doing 15 mph on stock, to slow it down some more I would slip the clutch. Just went 2 down in the front, getting used to that before I go up in the back.

 

yea i thought 65 might be wrong .. 3 years of burning brain cells..opps.

15mph on stock ?? i have been dumping first getting it up around 1030 ....11 oclock but i just pick up to much speed ..??

 

yep, same here, I know the stock gearing can roll really slow almoust at idle and not stall. If you bring the idle up a bit and go -1 front-> it will roll really low speed(both wheels on the ground), and not stall even if brake on it.

But I have the same prob. How to hell do I clutch it up from so low speed? Do you slow it down, or should I rev the **** off and clutch it straight up from walking pace? ????

 

well first you stop the bike completely and you clutch it up, as soon as you reach 12 oclock you pull in the clutch and you back break. Now from there you start slipping the clutch back in and you go easy on the brake because if you press it too hard the bike will stall. Also you should have your RPM at about 2000, that is my way of doing it, yes it is hard but it works it will help you alot in the long run.
Hope I helped, but everybody has their own style but I would get good on stock before gearing up learn the hard way it will come in handy, now get ur practice on.

 

jep got little more practice, It comes up slower now. Pretty high, but not BP. thanks for the info, have to try that...
