i have an 02 gixxer 600 and want to know how many teeth i need to add in the rear to be able to do highchair wheelies in 2nd and basically get it up easier however i dont want the bike to top out at 110 either any advice?

 

I know of a few people who have either dropped one in the front or added 3 in the back.

 

i added 3 teeth to my back and it pulls up like nothin in 2nd, just roll on no clutching and almost in 3rd, but there's a **** load of torque when you convert. don't change the front first. people i know did and it didn't make a difference. you also will gain top speed.

 

EXACTLY!!!!

 

Oh yeah, Joker, a gixxer 600 doesn't have the power of your 929 so it will have to be geared quite a bit lower than that.

FNF, try adding three in the rear. If that's not enough try one down in the front also. If that doesn't do it go down two in the front. That's getting pretty low but you have to sacrafice somthing to get something. Top speed for more torque. Front sprockets are cheap so you might start there first. Plus if you go very big in the back you have to get a longer chain.

 

i just dropped 2 down in the front and 4 up in the rear i wanted 5 up in the rear but they dont have em that big yet unless you get **** custom madefor 02 gixxa 7.

 

hey man, how are the injuries doin? My collarbone is finally starting feel better after a month. Couple more weeks and should be good as new except for the huge knot on it.

 

Actually you DO gain top speed.

You see, here's how it works.

Bikes are geared from the factory with a theoretical top speed higher than they can actually go.

For example, the R6 is geared for a top speed of around 180. The problem is there's not enough power to use this gearing (drag, friction). When you lower the gearing MODERATELY, you can more easily use the available power and overcome these affects.

For example: if I gear the R6 -1t front +1t rear, my top speed is around 165. A stock R6 tops out at under 160.. that puts top speed on a stock R6 in 5th gear. With the lowered gearing, you can use the pwoer in 6th gear more easily and thus gain top speed.



SO, long story short: moderately lowering gearing RAISES TOP SPEED.

Now, if you go +5 in the back and -2 in the front you're gonna lose a little.

 

more like lose alot.

 

Zan,
what is your top speed? a cool 50 mph?


is it more stable in slow **** w/ going that low?

 

well i dont have em on my bike yet but, yea it really smoothes **** out instead of the jerking of the throttle its a little easier to control cuz it has more tourqe at lower rpm's.

I THINK THATS RIGHT,IF NOT OHH WELL I CAN STILL DO IT!!!

just to see how it would be to mess with the real slow wheelies i went 24 up in the rear left the front stock on a 97 f3 havent tried yet because of the weather but this spring for sure...to bad i probaly wont be able to go over 50 mph but all i need is 35 on one wheel anyway for the speed limit ..right :D

 

If i do put a new rear sprocket on my bike, how will that affect acceleration, and will accelerating say from 50-60 be affected at all?

And lastly, any idea how much install is on a new rear sprocket?

 

i went down one in the front...because it's cheaper and it gets more results. But i only weigh 130 lbs so it's not like i need alot of gear anyway.

 

just reading what you guys are saying about the r6, i got an r6, how fast do ya think it could go topped out.
