JRrider...
-1, +9 is soooo sweet for slow lot wheelies, and streets are still very comfortable.
In the slow, the bike dosen't want to stall as easy and you can get em down to like 4-5mph. And for fast stuff there alot more engine braking.
I think this is the perfect combo for the 954. But on the f4i I'm goin a little steeper w/ -2, +10. That's gonna be mostly lots.

best deal is motohaven.....
just watch out street riding with those big gears, running from the cops is no joke...
with my 600 i max out a little over 100, i have to hit side roads not highway...
they pass me up on open road..

You pretty much hit the nail on the head with my train of thought. I'm looking for people with a tried and true combo that they've found to be most effective for their style.
Thanks for the input guys.
Ho Hey, be safe over there.

+10 on the f4i... Love it
-2 +10 on the 954... a lil too much
The smaller the bike, the more gears will help... Once you get into the newer bigger bikes, they get a bit out of hand with anymore than +10 - just my
