Hello all, just a quick question.

Whats the tooth count on stock sprockets for a 01 F4i

15 Front 42 back ?

Looking to going -1 in the front and +4 in the back and getting a 520 chain as well, anyone ever been this route ?

 

16 & 46.

Any reason you want to go +4? That's quite a bit for a street bike.

 

Just lookin for some more torque for easier wheelies. My buddy did it to his bike and said its really good.

So I'd be looking at a 15 front 50 back I guess

 

thats gonna be way steep, all u will do is wheelies, which is cool if thats what u want. most stunters say the f4i wheelies great stock, and they gear lower to hold circles

 

if youre gonna be wheelieing alot u might not want to do a 520 chain and get a stronger 525 chain

 

Easier wheelies, sure, but also much less top-end power / speed, and higher RPMs at cruising speeds (aka highway / freeway).

Just making sure you understand the pros / cons is all.

 

Ya I've read a bit about it, these bikes go fast enough I dont mind losing some top end. Maybe +4 is to much in the rear, maybe +2? Also the guy at the honda shop said even get a 530 chain because it is a lot stronger and said 520 is basically only if your going to be racing is that right ?

I hear vortex makes good sprockets, and I was thinking of getting an RK chain, can anyone see anything wrong with that ?

 

With a 520, you gain a bit of strength and lose a bit of weight. Neither performance aspect you'll ever really need to worry about on the street. I'd stick with a 525.

 

im looking into goin -1 in the front and +2 in the rear if you get it done befor me lmk how it works out if i get it done first ill do the same... good luck

 

i did it, you can pull easy wheelies all day.
