RE: spocket teeth count
I think I read somewhere that changing the front sprocket will affect your speedo? Maybe throw it off a bit. Really I would like to avoid anything like that. I was hoping to do something not too drastic to just the rear but I dont know if thats a goos choice or not.

well first of all if you are adding teeth to sprockets you will need to add a link or two and have to get the same size and know what your doing with a chain tool.. second.. the amount that it throws off you speedo is next to nothing but if you really care then get a speedo healer

hmm What kind of differences could I expect from the -1 +2 setup as opposed to just adding a couple of teeth to the rear. I think I'm going to buy a new chain regaurdless of weather or not I change the sprockets. I dont know how long the other one has been on. The bike has under 7k on it and is a 03. But I wouldnt hurt anyway.

1 down and 2 up is pretty much the same as just 2 up or so... more you put on the back will shorten gears and make more tq and make top speed go down.. i went up -1 and 2 up i liked it for a while then i went up 5 up in rear so i could do long stand ups in 4th gear.. but personally i think i like stock the best for overall.. all depends on how you ride..

I went 2 up-1 down on my 954 and was really happy.
Of course I was chasing better power wheelies.
And I lost about 15 mph top speed and that was reflected on the speedo.
I was told by my wrench that 2 up 1 down would be comparable to 4 up.
Then I did 3 up 2 down on the 929 but it seemed pretty similar since the 929 has a little less power and hp.
Either way, I'd def recommend changing the chain w/the sprockets regardless of miles, just me.
