Re: which sprocket???

honestly man it depends on how good u r at the point ur at.... stay stock until you learn brake control... learning rear brake is a bitch if you're already sprocketed. TRUST me on that. if you already have brake control on lock i wouldn't go up more than 10-12 on a 750 but thats just personal preference... remember the more you sprocket it the more touchy/twitchy its going to be. u may go up more when you get into the tecnical stuff like circles and stuff but until then i wouldnt go up too much

Re: which sprocket???

go big....

learn once and that's all....

if you learn everything on medium gear your gonna have to re-learn when you get the bigger ones (the fun ones).

go big and don't listen to any of these stock gearing groupies... stock gearing is a fad and it sucks *****... big ones are fun as hell and engine brake is your best friend.

My stunter was down for 2 weeks so I had to use my "street geared" f4i (-1/+8), and it sucked *** all ******* two long weeks of it.... I got my stunter back up today w/ -2/+14 and that **** just makes huge grins every clutch up.

Re: which sprocket???

I think its best to at least learn slow wheelies (under 15mph) before moving onto gearing..

Going big fast, will just make you choppy as hell..

Whereas if you can rock idle on stock gearing, when you regear, it'l take 2 maybe 3 wheelies to learn how to rock idle on gearing...

I just got gearing, and I learned instantly with it.. But my friends that still do power wheelies, now can't wheelie for ****, chop chop chop chop chop... THey need to learn on stock gearing
