chain size?
I have a 05 1000 and i want to change my sprockets and chain. What i want to do is drop one off the front and leave my rear stock. The reasond i want to go -1 in the front is to get that quick start from my low rpms. I just dont know how many links i need on the chain for this.

RE: chain size?
I only went up 2 in the rear and didnt do the -1 in front on my bike.
Im in need of new chain and sprockets and will probably go -1 +2 this time. the up 2 in the rear added some much needed oomph, but it could still use some more. Your speedo will be off some though. I plan on getting a speedo healer with the new sprockets. My speedo is currently off by 7 mph at 55. I'm assuming it will be off another 3 or 4 with the add -1 in front. So, I think you could be off by 10mph. of course, my stock speedo was off by 4 mph stock.. so the change was only 3 mph.
But, I'd suggest both.

If you do the -1 +2, you will not be able to hit 180. I believe it will top out around 165 170 ... Im not going to get into why you want to go that fast.. but the quick launch and putting your bike in the power sooner does make it funner to drive.
As for the timing advancer, i have no idea. I think I would hold off until you got your other mods done, if you feel you still need more, then look towards that mod with a pc3 and full exhuast.... the list can go on and on.
If you do the sprockets , I would install a speedo healer. thats my next mod once I change sprockets again.
