I have an 02 HondaCBR 954RR. I am going to install a new chain and sprockets. I would like to change the gearing a bit to make it easier to wheelie.

I dont use this bike on the track. Its strictly for city riding, wheelieing around, and country twisties. I want to get more umph but I dont want the change to be drastic. This is not a stunt bike. Any recommendations on how many teeth I should change too? Should I ONLY drop 1 tooth in the front and leave the rear alone? Should I drop 1 in the front AND add 2 or 3 to the rear or would that be to drastic of a change? Should I ONLY add teeth to the rear?

 

I would say just drop 1 tooth in the front and leave the rear alone. Little loss in top end and will make a pretty big diffrence at slow speeds with out being too much.

 

Almost all of me wheelies are 2nd gear wheelies around 30-50 MPH.

 

go 1 down 2 up
its a real good ratio if your still going to ride dont lose much speed and the change isnt that drastic but it works

 

1 down 2 up is always an awesome combo

 

ditto

 

yep!

 

i had the same question i have the same bike. any way how do you wheelie in second what is your methed where do u hi the clutch?

 

Bring the bike up to about 38 MPH in 2nd gear, then its one quick motion. YOu want to give it throttle really quick and slip the clutch in(not all the way) and let it flick back out. Dont let up on the gas and cover the rear break. Slowly give it more and more throttle until you find how much you need to bring the bike up to the BP.

 

hwy thanx alot i will have to try it 2 morrow

 

where can i get sprockets like that?

 

just seen a thread earlier talking about a place called onoffroad.com. They have combo prices for chain and sprockets. You pick the size chain and sprockets you want and they give you the price. Wish I would have known about it before I ordered my sh it. Here's the link.
