Bobjoe, I definetly will bro. What did you lay down so I can get an idea of what to expect. Tpgpz, I heard 954's dont get the best mpg to begin with.

I took my 954 -1 +2 on a whim and found that my riding style had to change just as quick as the gears. And yes my MPG did drop. I was getting about 150 miles before reserve and now I get about 120. The first day out with the new gearing I couldn't keep the front wheel on the ground but now it's not a problem. I would tell anyone new to the liters not to make the mistakes I've made and keep your gearing stock. Give it time and mileage you'll learn the bike and not get suprised by the difference a little change like this can make.

And follow the advice from the others here. Get the PC and the dampener first. You'll get a better and safer ride.

I changed the front -1 only and that was enough to feel it, but as said already it does put your speedo out (I fitted a speedohealer), use more fuel and after having it for over six months I agree with all here that standard is the way to go!

Go the power commander, you'll be happier.

I went up 1 in the back. Works good for me.

I have a -1 up front and +2 in rear, and i think it is the most efficient setup, great acceleration and great wheelies, on this setup there is about 7-9 miles difference on a speedo

-1 +2 set up makes 1st gear to short and snappy... not really needed for liter bikes minus the r1

That's Ok if your just doing 100km/hr but in Australia 40kms over the speed limit and your licence is gone for six months.....trust me I know...

-1 +2 is short, but it is perfect for riding in Chicago traffic, and wheelies are great to.
