Stock is 16/46 and I have a 15/46 kit which is only one tooth down in the front and I'm very happy with it so far but just got it installed last week so can't speak too much for it yet

You will not notice much of a difference between +1 and +2 in the rear. Changing the front will make most of the difference. I have -1/+1 and am quite happy with it. And wheelies depend on the rider 99% of the time. I can go ***** out all the time without raising the front wheel.

I have a 520, Driven sprockets and RK chain. Purchased from www.motomummy.com, and didn't have to worry about links or anything. Did have to remove some during install, though, so keep that in mind.

I went to an ebay store "moto-heaven", they hooked me up as I really wasn't sure what I wanted to do either. Just tell them what you're tryin to accomplish and your riding style and they'll set you up with what you need for a good price.

I have the same set up as 1quickf4i. I have a 15/46 setup with a DID 525 gold chain and steel sprockets. I didn't go with alum. sprockets and 520 chain because I thought I would get them to last a little longer and it only drops acouple pounds. I am pleased with the change it made. I got my stuff from here: http://www.sprocketcenter.com/c/1616...f4i-01-06.html

195 free shipping but I upgraded the chain to the DID 520 ZVM2 X-RING
