whats your gearing?

so as of now im enjoying the F4i. but my gearing is up 8 and down 1. so my question to you (my fellow stunt riders who can actually ride) is what gearing are you running and how do you like it? Because im at the point where im wondering if i want to go up or stay the same. so some input please

anyway u suck at riding, sprocket or not




j/k bro: got a -2 front stock rear and like it, loooooooooots of torque, perfect for stalls no hand and all that stuff, maybe just a bit shaky for combos, i found 60 tooth was easier for straight line stuff

Re: whats your gearing?

well most ppl are gonna say "i got a 90 tooth and i love it". i rock +7 and have no desire to go any higher than that. i dont really see the point, my bike doesnt stall out or bog so why add what i dont need.

if it didnt stress the clutch so much clutching up from a stop on stock gears id run stock, i really like the way the engine feels on stock gears. i only gear it so i dont have to clutch real hard to bring it up.

I was gonna put a big sprocket on for the winter but it wasnt necessary

Re: whats your gearing?

I've got a 60 rear on my f4i. It's nice but I often times wish I had a bit less
