Nice job, like G3NESYS, i did the exact same thing
Accell picked up for sure ans speedo is way off.
Prolly gonna get a speedo healer soon.......
For what it's worth,with the +2 rear sprocket I didn't top out down the straightaway @ Road America even though the speedo was reading north of 170mph

I am getting ready to change my chain and sprockets and I would like to do it myself. Any advice for doing it? I know its not over my head technically, the only thing I don't know about is riveting the master link. Any guides out there you trust? Anyone?

i just did a chain and sprocket kit too, but I only dropped one in the front (equivalent to adding about 2.5 in the back).

I am happy with the improvements in low end, but im curious how much of a difference there is in the kit yall used.

I did not want it to be insanely high on the freeway so i just did the -1 front and left the rear at stock. I kind of want to get a stock front just so I can put it on when I ride down to North Carolina just so i get better milage and drop the RPMs back down. I try to stay around 10mph over the speed limit to compensate for the speedo error, that way i dont have cars on my *** when im not in a hurry.

There really is nothing to it. The only thing I bought was a mini chain press $16 at cycle gear. Cut the old off w/ dremel, cut the new chain to length, use the press to push the link on, I used the press and a bb to mash the links.

PM me if you want a stock one. Ill send you the one I just took off lol. Or if you ride anywhere down towards Charlotte Ill give it to you. It still looks to be in real good shape.

The speedo healer is worth the money, getting pulled over for speeding and telling the cop you didn't know cuz u changed your sprockets, thats another ticket for carelessness. And u put on more miles than you really are. The wiring you plug into in under the seat infront of the shock. Took me about 30 minutes to install.
