Whats the best number of teeth for the rear, I dont care about doing wheelies and I dont want 1st gear to be so short that its unrideable. I just want to "pep" up the power band a bit. +2 +3 ? will there be a need for a new chain with this setup?

 

If thats all you want save yourself a lot of cash and just go -1 in the front, thats the same as +2.5 in the rear.A rear sprocket will cost ya 70 bucks or so, a front is about 25. Also with doing the front you definatly will not need a new chain.

 

If you do decide to try that instead i have a -1 front for the "stock" chain width i can sell ya. Used it about 500 miles maybe, in very good shape. PM me if interested.

 

-1 +2 and that baby will come alive.....Also i believe this is the biggest change u can make between both sprockets and still be able to keep the factory chain length....=-)

 

Idid -1F +1R its a nice ride not too buzzy at cruisin speeds

 

I went -1 in front and +3 in the rear, I went -1 in front first but wasn't satisfied so i went +3 and really love it, I feel it is more controlable but I know others will disagree.

 

i just did an f4i stock rear on my 954 stock f4i is 46 t 525 chain and 954 is 43 530 chain so i need a new chain but it a stock steel honda rear sprocket so it will last for ever and you can get them all day on ebay for real cheep bolts right up to your 954 hub
