I was running -1/+5, and it was PERFECT for my highway ****. Easy as **** to clutch up sitdowns/stand-ups in 3rd, and was rockin' tank wheelies all day in 2nd.

It's a little aggressive, meaning that the front end gets really like in 2nd and 3rd under hard acceleration (you'll want a damper), but I never really was into hauling *** down the highway, so I didn't miss whatever top end I lost. I just liked the 2nd and 3rd gear power.

I had a '98 motor though. The '98's and '99's had more power than the previous 900's, so if you've got a '93-'95 or '96-'97, you might wanna go up 7 or 8 in the back.

Don't go more than -1 in front though. I was -2/+2, and going to -1/+5, I saw a big difference in overall smoothness. Don't really know why, but people said I would, and I honestly did.

Good luck. Clutch it up.

im rebuildin my 900rr... just got one problem... im so broke i gotta used my stunt bike as my only means of trans!... so i gotta get a speedo to pass safety... i was thinkin of gettin a hud but they dont makem for a 94... dunno why, cuz they are hooked up from the rear brake caliper...

 

Thank Ya everyone for tips, but i think i put +14 to rear sprocket, should i put -1 to front one?
Greetings

 

just depends on how slow you are wanting the bike to be, if you are wanting to start parkin lot stuff, i would put a -2

 

Thanx Shawn, but won't -2 damage too much the engine, frame and all the rest?

 

naaa, i had -2 +9 a few years ago and really liked how it was for highway/slow stuff, then i just went to parkin lot stuff and went with a -1 +18 now

 

Ok! Maybe the best way is to make the same gearing that you have. What ya think? I dont need a kit for highway/slow stuff. I just will to do parkin lot stuff... In my country there is no life with the police on highways

 

<----------------------- 900rr right here

 

I am still rockin' the 900... I love em'... Got used to having to tune tha carbs like a guitar... They ****ing hate tha cold weather!

 

I am running a 10 up thrust with a stock counter shaft sprocket... Seems to be a good compromise between highway and parking lot...

 

i've never had to touch my carbs, my bike runs like a raped ape. just had to put new plugs in it about a month ago, other than that never had to do anything to my bike, ilove the 900's but i am going FI this coming year

someone buy my kick *** 900, lol
it needs a new home

 

2 last questions:

1. What is your final advice: -2; +14 or the same gearing that you have?
2. What gear are you using when doing parkin lot stuff?

Thenk you for helping me :YEAH

 

with fuel injection aside...what do yall think about 98'-99' 900RR vs. 929RR?

 

If i was you I would go with the -2, and 14, you would really like that, you could always go up to a 70 in the rear but that is drastic. Personally I love the -1 +18 on mine, and if i could I would probably go 20 up in the rear, for no-handers and foot bar tricks. Just play with the gearing and see what feels best for you and how you ride. -Shawn

 

the 929's runs alot smoother, than the 900's. power wise they will feel about equal, both motors are doing over 130 hp, they are both sweet

i still rock my rr

rock solid.

 

weren;t you gonna get a f4i or 636 lsr? or decide to just keep the 9r?

 

i'm -1 +10 and love slow and fast stuff.

I really can't wait to get fuel injected as well. I haven't had to touch my carbs either. I haven't done much to it. Just change the oil and you can beat them senseless.
