OK so My 96f3 is nice and fast but the guy who owned it before me went -2 in the rear, He said he didnt know if the front was stock or not so Iam going to change them both because the bike has little power till 6000rpm I would like more low end, Right now the front end is lowered so the wheel will not come up no matter what. I have tried to power it up at all different kinds of rpm in first and Tried to clutch it up and there is not luck, I dont want to be trieing to keep in down in third but I would like to get it up and have some fun. what would you guys do with the sprockets ?

 

Stock sprockets keep the speedo/odometer readings more accurate.

I'm guessing your front is 15t and you have a 41t rear? If so, bump the rear to the factory 43t and try that out. I'm sure people wheelie with that setup.

 

i know that my 97 was sitting at 15 on the front and 41 on the back and I could power up in first second and third, but i also had an ignition advancer, and a stage 3 jet kit. I would replace the clutch before you replace the sprocket, unless the chain s already gone... You would be surprised how much difference a worn out clutch will make on the f3.

 

everything on the bike has been gone over. its even bored .30 over and has 274 cams in it. Its lowered alot in the front and rear.

 

I'm going to go with -1 tooth on the front sprocketfor a 14 front and 43 rear combo.With that setup, I get to keep the stock 525 chain and get a steeper gear ratio than+2 on the rear. I will definately be getting a speedo-healer though! However, I can clutch it up with the stock set-up now.

Thats what I was thinking of doing also.I dont know if I can clutch it up now. but I really dont like to try it out.

 

Clutching up is a scary feeling. Gotta be careful. Try it at a low rpm and higher and higher until it comes up. DO NOT rev it high and pop the clutch!!!! You'll be on your *** faster than you can blink. Seen it happen right in front of me, not a good time.
