Has anyone tried just going up 3 teeth on the back sprocket? Im thinking about trying it and wanted to get some peoples opinions. Thanks!!

 

You will need a new chain to compensate for the increased diameter. try going down one in the front and you should accomplish pretty much the same thing and then adjust the chain out. I went up two on the rear ofmy last bike and it made asignificant difference in the bike.

 

15/44 520 over here. Sweet set up. Major low end, but lost top speed. But who needs to go over 170 anyhow.

 

thought it was 190+mph top speed, i know a -1/+2 drops top speed to like 160 or so but seriously, who does? i've been 140mph once.

god i love your bike nevaed speed - is that custom paint or decals (i forgot to ask you when you got the paintjob topic up)



^^ that's a balling bike withblue rims - not overdone haha

 

-1 +2 (15 44) 520 AFAM here. I actually wanted to do the +3 and screwed up in the ordering process. If you take one off of the front its like adding three to the rear, I wouldnt take more than one off of the front though, just add to the rear. Anywho, did a lil speed experiment with my new gear change the other day and my rev limiter light came on @ 162 when I eased off. Felt like the bike had maybie 3-5 more mph if I had to guess, but, is it really necessary to go that fast.

I'm so glad I screwed up and got the -1+2 instead of the -1+3 cause the change is insane, I have not gotten completely used to it, have had the 520 for about the last 300 er so miles. What a difference, it's like I have a new bike. I think -1+3 would have been too much for me at this point. I almost did a back flip with my bike with the -1+2 and I'm 6'02" 220. It very much was a scary/learning experience. I'd suggest the -1+2 and if it's not enough, which I cant imagine, u can always change it in a few thousand miles at the next chain change.

 

Custom decals that got clear coated over, sothey look more like paint.

 

I just realized what NEVAEH is. Clever. I just hope its not the bike that takes you there.

 

Nice!
Now you got me thinking about a sticker for the bike, with whatI have on my car'sfronttag.....

 

My euro plate also says Nevaeh.... And yeah it's heaven backwars... But it's also my daughters name... See the trike in the picture.... Thats her's.

 

"Onarom" is my last name spelled backwards. I guess this forum is full of backward thinking people!
