Seeing how my bike was getting 30 when I first for it due to the poor condition from the po I have no idea but it's better with a new motor and electrical system. Im just now running gauges again so I have no idea what my fuel is nor do I care
So by your information I would be looking at more of acceleration enhancement. Just being curious though hows your top speed?

Hmmm well that sucks.

Well does anyone else know what would happen if I go +2 in the rear? Like what would happen to my top speed?

A lot more than I should lol. But I do plan it taking it to the track eventually but I will probably just do it what size chain like how many links should I go with sense you have convinced me to go +2

idk, all i can remember is its a 520 chain. Just run to a local shop and tell em what your looking for and they will be able to hook you up with a new front stock sprocket thats stronger for the bigger chain and rear sprocket. i paid around 120 for it all an haven't looked back yet. love being on one wheel

Talked to the guy at the shop on Friday and I'm gonna do it. He said at most I will lose 5-10 mph for top end, but I got to thinking what you were saying Jank and well how often am I going to [U]legally[U] top out my baby. So +2 in the rear it is now I just need to order it and the chain.

talk to your fellow racers in each genre, see what their running.

But the happy medium is the stock gearing.

By the way, are you sure that isn't a 108 count on the chain? Other-wise, that's
the teensy-weensyest chain I've heard of on a bike. lol

Hope this helps, Ern
Agreed you cant encrease top speed and acceleration if you want more acceleration go down 1 in the front and up 2 or 3 in the back and youll be fine
