-1 +2 @ 75 on the speedo (uncorrected) put me at about 5700 rpms if i recall correctly. So to be going 75mph you prolly be around 6k rpms

Huh. For that much 'twitch' I figured you'd be doing ~7k rather than 6k. Thanks Tony.

I just changed my chain and sprockets I went from 16/43 to 15/44 on a 530 pitch. make sure your rear sprocket is steel or atleast anodized the alumunum will wear to fast. I went with a DID chain and Renthal sprockets my only complaint is that my speedometer seems to be reading much faster then im going

I'd recommend going up 2-3 on the rear. Your chain has to really flex a lot when you go to a smaller sprocketin the front. This is what a bike mechanic told me. I just replaced both my sprockets and my chain. Stayed with stock Honda sprockets and went with a DID 530 chain.

Those sprockets are not stunt sprockets- twitchy just means that it has better throttle response at a specified RPM. stunt sprockets range from 60-75 tooth. the 1-3 ratio is best to maximize the bikes acceleration and keep its streetability... Twitchy doesnt mean that it will throw you off when you gas it... you still have to MAKE the front come up-

Bike feels the best at -1 +2 imo. As far as tires.....what color is your bike? Tomohawk makes some super super bad *** colored tires that are sure to keep you knee dragging! If you want to push the limit of your bike get Shinkos! Im not bad *** enough so I run Conti Force/Attacks.

Pimpin please tell me someone hacked your account, or are just in a bad mood.

On that note i pretty much disagree with everything Pimpin said.
