stock Front sprocket, and 10up(53) in the rear. I think that is the perfect gear for the 900rr.

My bike tops out at around 135mph with the 53tooth sprocket. Just remember that every tooth you drop in the front is like going up 2 in the rear. So if you are talking about going down 2 in the front and going up 5 in the rear, that is actually about the same as going up 10 in the rear.

I thought it's down 1 = to up 3....guess it depends on current set up. What I said would hold true for .....15/45, 16/48....

But the theory is still there.
