im thinking about it too but not until i wear through my sprockets and chain. Im -1 +10 freeway blows big time.

 

lol i learned on stock never even got a 520, been on -1 n 55tooth in the back since i got my gsxr in jan. i guess its time to go back

 

don't know anything about buell's or v-twin stunting... but on an inline 4 cylinder, with stock gearing you LOWER the idle (well lower than you would have it if you did have gearing... i run about 2500-3000 on a 636 with gearing and 2000 without it... 1400 on the 1000 with no gearing for circles)

you run a very low rpm and use the brake as little as possible...

 

If the stock gear trend is in, im money lol. I been stock since day one. Wanted to learn everything i could stock b4 i geared it. put -1 up front last year. that helped the boggin at slow speeds a little

 

HAHAHA, actually i preffer a good amount of gearing on my stuntbike,-2+10. It gives me a lot of engine break for faster stuff and makes playing around with slow stuff easier (by playing around i mean goofing off and playing to the crowd etc)

BUT for the street you need to have a bike that is near stock with gearing. SOOOOO much fun! (riding a -2+10 bike on the street is basically never fun except in the city... but then there is the 35 mile ride to GET to the city! LOL)

 

rein it in a lil bit there bud...Jason has always rocked stock gears...and learned O's on a stock set up.

 

ok sorry im talking about my buell's it's the only bike ive run stock gearing ....my bad

 

I Put It On Last Night.holy Sh*t!!! No Engine Brake At All!!this Is Going To Take Some Getting Used To.its Hard To Pick Up 3rd Gear Spreaders On The Highway & I'm Choppy As Hell Now, I Was Buttery Smooth With The Gearing!

 

Ya thats where i ride mostly on the streets and where i learned alot of my stuff, another reason for staying stock. Still lovin the highway wheelies for miles it never gets old to me

 

you're pickin up 3rd gear sreaders on a 636 with stock gearing?!?!?! you must weigh 90 lbs.! I have -1 front on my 04 636, im 200 lbs, 2nd gear is pretty easy, 3rd there is no chance (i can pick up 3rd then jump to spreader, but not straight up while on the tank!!!) and i've been clutchin up wheelies and spreaders for years so i'd like to think im pretty good at it!

 

no worries

 

-1+2 i think he went.

 

Yep...I'm with you. Highway wheelies never get old unless your watching a video. but thats OK.

 

BOUT 130LBS:YEAH . I HATE THIS GEARING CAUSE I'M A MADMAN!!! 1 DAY WITH THIS GEARING AND I'M FLAT OUT DOWN THE HIGHWAY ON THE WAY TO WORK,SPLITTING LANES,PASSING ON THE SHOULDER,ECT. MIGHT PUT MY +6 SPROCKET ON INSTEAD OF THE
+12 AND SEE IF THATS BETTER. I MISS MY ENGINE BRAKE!!!

 

+6 instead of +12 is 6 LESS teeth in the rear... which would be LESS engine braking... i think you worded that wrong...

 

I think he was just saying he was gonna put on the +6 to get a little more engine break thaen stock... instead of the +12 that he had on there before that he hated which was the reason he went back to stock.

 

hmm...random opportunity to flame Kelm..dare I?
