Man, that must suck to only be able to go 135-140...especially for city commuters.

 

i don't go that fast on a regular basis but i did wanna c just how much the change would affect the top end. considering how many rpm's i was turning at like 80mph. i think it's a pretty accurate account of the new top end cuz i had my cuzin pacing me on his 954rr with a speedo healer, but yea u right how often would u need to go that fast anyway.

 

lol

 

Couple questions. 1: What does a stock f4i do in the quarter mile(average)? Cuz I thought you should be able to do 10.6s ish. 2: If anyone knows what their quartermile time is with the Stage 1 (-1,+2)?

From the sounds of it as of now(still pending), I think the stage 1 will be better for me do to the fact on the turnpike you have to go 80-85.

A little off topic question: Whether a Stage 1 or 2 sprocket kit is on my bike, if I pop my clutch to drag, will it stand up or burn out if I am leaning forward? I am afraid to pop my clutch right now with 46rear, scared it is just going to pop the front end up verses burn out. Any info is appreciated!

Thanks

 

Doing a burnout is pretty much pointless on these bikes... But if you must, make sure you have a big handful of front brake.

As for the 1/4 mile... CLICK LINK

Go with the stage one, stage 2 is probably much too extreme for everyday commuting. Plus it will put more wear and tear on your chain/sprockets/tranny/engine...

 

popping the clutch will for sure bring the front end up, these bikes really don't make enough torque to do a burn out unless your grabbing the front brake and trying to light'em up

 

Anyone have any info/experience with this? http://www.moto-heaven.com/store/car...tail&p=237 or http://www.moto-heaven.com/store/car...tail&p=257

 

lol I really hate how they categorize it as Stage 1 and 2. Just so you know, the 520 kit refers to the chain size (pitch/width). So 520 chain is smaller in comparison to a 525. And the idea behind it is, that it is less rotational mass. And less rotational mass means less work for your engine to have to keep that chain spinning around to power your rear wheel. 520 chain will also most likely wear out a bit quicker than a 525, but it's also a bit cheaper.

If you go with a 520 chain, you'll need 520 sprockets as well. But it seems as if that web site offers it as a package anyway.

 

I want to thank you for pionting out what exactly the 520 was compared to the 525.
