it will help out tremendeously! but your newTOP speed in 6th gear will be around 65-80! Definitly going to want a speedohealer with this if you dont already have one!

I absolutely would not buy this kit, it does not even say what gears your getting, thats crazy. Could be -1 +10 or just -1 +2

Can you ride balance point wheelies now? If not, this won't help you do anything but lift the front up easier... not hold it there. And to be honest, throttle response will need to be re-evaluated as it's going to be different throttle-to-wheel response.

In short, the answer is not much. It only helps the front get off the ground with very little input from you.

Not to mention you could probably take off from a dead stop in 3rd

+1 with TKR.

It increases the rpm by 10% so im thinking it's a -1+2 kit only

JD, if you want a slow parking lot stunter then it's not going to be good for street riding. Like Kid said-low gearing will help the front come up faster and with less RPM's, but will not keep it there-that's on you at balance point. I have -1 on the front of my and it helped with low end, but is still freeway friendly.

I would not buy that kit. I have the RK/Vortex 520 and it's good stuff.

Aw man, I can't find it! There was an Ebay auction that was sellin a bag of Corn Nutz that they claimed to give you instant stunt skills. It was great!

I wouldn't go with the sproket set, if you can't get it with stock gearing, I don't think that will help. All you can do is pratice you *** off. I'd be getting a crash cage or other protectionbefore doing preformance mods.
