-1 in the front and +2 in the back. You should like the pull that gives!

 

Maybe I should have specified if you were just riding it on the street. Do you still want to start an argument, because there's not really a point in spending money on all of that stuff if you're just going to be cruising around town. Plus he was simply asking about a sprocket and chain, not all of the other stuff that you mentioned.

 

I never realized that losing weight is giving more horsepower.... I always thought that horsepower was a constant and not a weight dependent variable... oh well, guess we learn something everyday!

 

duh dude. the pounds i shed on my marchesinis over stock alone gave me 20 - 30 more hp.

 

TB -- you gotta be pulling our chain -- weight = hp

 

LOL srsly. -7 lbs = +1hp on a modern CBR600. The gym memberhsip pays for itself!

 

As a rule of thumb I think they say dropping 6 pounds is equivalat to gaining 1 HP in overall performance. Obvisouly the dyno isn't going to change but acceleration, braking and cornering will. Especialy if you lose the weight in parts with rotating mass (wheels, rotors, flywheel etc.)

 

We are at a total loss as what to get our DD5 for her "big" Gift this year... we have asked and asked - we have had her look through all the toy catalogs and asked her to circle things and tell us what she wants...

Shes all girl - loves Hannah, icarley, Strawberry Shortcake, horses, and all things girlly... Would love some help...
