Don't forget that the Speedo is driving off the gearing on most newer bikes..so your speed is going to be off alot with that type of gearing...lets say that you are reading 70, but your actual ground speed is 55, drive for 2 hours and your bike thinks you went 140 miles, but reality is only 110 miles were covered, and that error is only after 2 hours of driving.!!!!

ive got two up out back on my recently purchased 99 f4, and I am having trouble keeping the front wheel on the ground through third gear... but i only weigh about a buck sixty... too much fun... im just getting used to my new ride, and the two up make a huge diff imo...ive ridden other cbr's...even a 929 that didnt lift like my lil 6 does.

 

i am in the original posters boat i dunno if i want 1 down in front or 2 up in back

 

-1 front is equal to about +3 in the back...go with the bigger rear as it'll help the chain wear better...or less chain wear i mean.

 

i have a 04 600 rr i need to get a better second gear wheelie with a little more ease from the bike it seems like im killing my self trying to get it up..

 

I have a friend who can do stand up wheelies on his 04 600rr in third gear on the freeway with stock gearing. I have no idea how he does it but I've seen him do it more then a few times.

 

so lets say i wanna go faster than " honda " allows this bike to go then can i in theory take a rear sprocket with say like 3 teeth less and now rack up less miles on the bike get better gas mileage and possibly break 200 mph and not have to go get some nasty *** crapabusa. acceleration is not a problem on this motorcycle so i don't think that less teeth out back would have too large of a negative affect on get up and go. let me know what you guys think, sure as hell would help keep the front wheel on the ground

 

-1 down in front + 2 in rear is great for good acceleration, anything more in rear will cause more then likely higher RPM's then u want, if you want to bring rpms down, take teeth away in your rear

 

ebay - has a 520 conversion and u can pick how many down or up and where you want it for 150 shipped

 

what is the stock gearing on an 96 f3. and is 520 conversion with 14 tooth front and 45 tooth rear good?
