I'd really be looking at what is going wrong with the power output. I am now running -1 and +7 and it pulls it up all the way through 4th. I do have engine work to go with the sprocket change. Not only does it wheelie, it will hang with 1000cc's.

well my bike runs great...but im at such a high elevation i lose 25% power....also im not sure about the +7 in the rear.....thats a different ratio....meant to be that way....this was not...also with +7 your top speed must be like 75...cause i was topped at 115 with the -1 +5.....but anyway i think ill just either leave the stock +5 or do the -1 +5

-1 in the front is lik.e +2.66 in the rear...which makes -1 +5 almost identical to +7.....

-1/+7=3.57 top speed about 135mph. In 6th gear at 70mph it turns 7,000 rpm. Are you sure you are counting enough teeth? My sprockets are 14/50, stock is 15/43. Is it not possible to re-jet for the elevation?

edwardtn; do you doubt it is possible for a F2 to keep up with any 1 liter bike?

Doubt it...no, I know it. Given equal riders the hp/weight ratio is much higher on a liter bike. Whatever mods you do to an F2, you would be lucky to touch 100hp at the wheel...a 1000RR is about 155hp stock. So yes, I do not see an F2 keeping up with a GSX-R 1000, and R1, or a 1000RR. I have tried with guys I ride with...the 1000RR and Ducati 1098 leave me after every turn...
