Sprockets??
Just wondering if anybody could give me some feedback on some sprockets. I wanted to get some but I have no real knowledge of what would be best for my needs. Mainly I just wanted to give it a little bit quicker acceleration to make wheelies a little eaiser. So any input would be great and much appreciated! I heard +2 rears would work nice, but thats about all i know. If you might have a link to a page with some more info on the matter that would be great too. Thanks!

RE: Sprockets??
i went with a -1 in fron't and a +2 in rear with a 520 conversion, Vortex sprockets and RK XW Xring Chain, you can get the setup for 160 bucks on ebay, great deal and very easy to do yourself if you have a stand and a 32mm socket for the rear axle nut, or u can use the tool in ur tool bag that came with ur bike, but a socket is easyer, i can pull it up just fine and still have top end, i would recommend that setup

I have an 03 954. I use mostly for stunting. I had some minor engine mods and then went down 1 in the front and up 2 in the rear. Made the bike very torquey. Wheelies very easy but the throttle is very touchey. It took some getting use to and still working things out as far as riding long wheelies that are smooth. Top end is still great! The throttle is just very sensetive when riding wheelies. My first days riding the wheelies I can were not problem except that I was not steady, going up and down some. Friends of mine that are much better riders than I were doing the samething. I may put the stock front back on. As of now I am still adjusting to the change, it's only been a few wks. Will post more after some more time on the bike.
As for now I would recommend +2 in the rear with. 520 conversion is up to you.

Just got back from the track today with the -1 in the front. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!! i had a +2 in the rear but put the stock back on when i went to the -1 front. It pulled out of corners alot better than the +2 rear!!!!! No tire spin since it puts the back wheel back a little further. I have been on the track with the +2 but the -1 front with stock rear sprocket made a WORLD of difference!! I have vortex sprockets and like these very much. As for top end..haven't done that with the -1, but i am positive it will still go around 165-170mph.
